I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
In this day and age, the size of the rodeo doesn't always equate to the calibre of the bulls.
You're going to try and find "open rodeos" as a good starting ground, which are hard to find. Buck-out bull ridings are good as well. Really, unless you know someone in your area, the only way to do so is to start googling...

That's where the bull has less power against the rider and where the rider's centre of gravity meets the central point of all the bull's moves. Too far back, and the bull's kick will have amplified force...

How do you prevent cheating and plagiarism these days?
In regular rodeo and bull riding, no. Bull Riders pay to compete, and if they don't place high enough to earn winnings, they are sent home empty handed. That's why Bull Riders are seen riding through the pain often. In the PBR BFTS Series, there are injury exemptions. Basically the field of riders is set after the World Finals, they ride for a number of events, and the bottom few are removed and replaced with those from the Touring Pro Division "The Cut". Depending on rankings, titles, and opportunities; riders are awarded an exemption from being cut, and their place is held until they're healthy, or run out of exemptions. They may take a week off, but that may play into a gamble of either their position at the bottom, or a position at the top.
