The announcer is the voice of the rodeo. Sometimes called the commentator, it is the announcer's job to give the play-by-play of the action, to interact with the crowd, and to inform everyone listening on what is going on. The announcer must be quick on their feet, educated about the sport, and must have a clear voice that people want to listen to for two hours. A good announcer can work a crowd and build up key rides and exciting events in the rodeo as they occur.

Similar to the cowboy saving bullfighter, it is the pickup man's job to take care of the cowboy and the horse at the end of a ride in the bronc riding events. They must ride highly trained horses up to the side of the bucking horse at the end of the ride and remove the rider. Once the cowboy is safely placed back on the arena floor, the next task for the pickup man is to remove the flank and safely guide the horse back in his pen by leading and herding him. Good pickup men are the end product of years of experience in the rodeo arena. They have one of the most exciting jobs in the rodeo arena and have to perform their tasks with a high degree of efficiency. Timing is an important factor in their maneuvers, as a split second's error could result in being exposed to the heels of a high kicking bucking horse and could potentially lead to injury.

Bullfighters are the lifeline of a bull rider in distress. Although their often dressed in baggie shorts, comical clothing and make-up, these men have the dangerous task of protecting cowboys. It is their job to ensure the safety of the bull riders at any time during and after their ride. When a bull rider is put into danger, it is the bullfighter's job to sacrifice himself and to take the 'hit' for the cowboy. A rodeo bullfighter does not resemble a 'Spanish bullfighter' in any way. Rodeo bulls always leave the arena alive and unharmed. The same can't always be said for the bull riders, however a good team of bullfighters sure can increase the odds of a bull rider walking away unharmed.

The Clown or Barrelman's role in this extreme sport is two fold; Entertain the crowd, and be a back–up bullfighter. Although a clown's main job is to entertain the crowd by telling jokes, doing tricks and interacting with the fans and announcer, the custom built barrel he resides in allows for a great safety position for bullfighters to circle in an attempt to elude angry bulls. Again, although they wear makeup and tell jokes, fun and games are only a part of their job as cowboy safety is always on their minds.
