The Invitational Calf Roping is held on the Saturday of Roping Fiesta weekend in the Outdoor Roping Arena on the San Angelo Fairgrounds. The roping will be held in sun, rain, wind or snow, as long as there is no inclement severe weather.

Historically, the Roping Fiesta showcased the world's top ranked calf ropers against some of the more regional talent to show that West Texas boasts many great ropers that just many not make a career out of it.

The Calf Roping is three full go rounds, with a 12-head short-go. All go rounds including the short-go pay round money, as well as average money. The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association is adding $20,000 to the purse. All calves are drawn.

This event is held in the Outdoor Roping Arena, and tickets are available for pre-purchase, and all seating is reserved. Tickets are available for purchase in advance or at the gate.

The Match Roping is a twelve head roping contest between two calf ropers. They each will rope six head of calves in between the 2nd and 3rd go rounds of the Invitational Calf Roping, and the other six head after the conclusion of the Invitational Calf Roping.

Each cowboy will rope the same calves. They get to select which order they rope their six calves in, and switch pens at the half way point.

The match roping is a winner take all $20,000 pot.

This event is held in the Outdoor Roping Arena in conjuction with the Invitational Calf Roping, and tickets are $15.00 each, and all seating is reserved. Tickets are available for purchase in advance or at the gate.
