Team Roping’s Most Prestigious Stage
For nearly five decades, the Bob Feist Invitational (BFI)—known simply as “The Feist”—has stood as the gold standard of team roping. Built on tradition, elite competition, and unmatched payouts, the BFI isn’t just another roping—it’s where legends are made.
The Bob Feist Invitational is an invitation-only team roping event that brings together the top headers and heelers in the world. Unlike open ropings, where anyone can enter, the BFI is reserved for the best of the best, making every run high-stakes from the first steer to the final short round.
The BFIl represents the heart of team roping—skill, timing, partnership, and grit. It’s where tradition meets the future, where young ropers watch their heroes, and where the sport continues to evolve at the highest level.
Be Part of the Legacy
Whether you’re competing, spectating, or following along from home, the BFI delivers unmatched energy, competition, and western tradition.
This is where legends are born.
