The Worchester PBR Bull Team Challenge was short on quantity but big on quality. Only two bull teams made the trek to the event outside of Boston, but both made the most of the opportunity for the competition held during the Built Ford Tough Series event.
The seemingly unstoppable Mandan Mafia led by Chad Berger beat out the Jeff Robinson helmed Mac-Nett Industries. Berger's team earned 137.50; Robinson's team was 135.25. These were two of the higher team scores of the season, thanks to two deep pens of heavy hitters. Code Blue was once again the high-scorer for the Mafia with 46.5. Teammate Big Tex contributed a 46 and All In added a 45. 2007 PBR World Champion Bucking Bull Chicken on a Chain brought a big 46.25 to the table for Mac-Nett. Booger Butt was 44.75, while Voodoo Child was 44.25. With another victory under his belt, it is starting to look like Berger's bull team may be the front runner come Las Vegas. His Mandan Mafia team is sitting securely atop the event average rankings with 137.625, proof that after four events Berger can be confident he's put together a consistent and high-scoring pen. However, the slate gets wiped clean on October 30 and there are any number of teams who could earn this year's Challenge crown-especially with such a wide field of rank buckers participating this season.
