The field has been cut down to 20 in each event in Houston and for the next four nights, there will be opportunities to advance to Championship Sunday.
The easiest way to do that is to finish in the Top 4 of one of the Semifinals and avoid the Wildcard.
The action due or die action begins at 8 PM ET on The Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel+.
