Oh man I’m excited and would love to do this! I’m in Northern Kentucky so all of the Off-Rodeo’s are pretty far. This one is only about 4 hours or so.

I am only about 30 minutes from the site, so I really hope to get verified soon. Late October would be a good time to go because of the fall colors.
I went to the Off-Roadeo in Texas, and it was fun … but I’ll never see that kind of terrain in KY.
This new Tennessee location sounds great!!
And, I can learn about situations that I may actually encounter.

I am registered for Saturday, October 26. Looking forward to it!
I was hoping to visit all 4. Now I need to visit all 5! I've only been to the one in Texas.
Does anyone understand why only the 2022 Badlands qualify but all the 2023 trims do?
Honestly, it doesn't sit great with me.

I've not found a satisfactory answer to that question. Maybe someone will chime in, or I can ask when I go.
It's like those of us who showed devotion to Ford and the Bronco brand by buying early are not as valued as those who purchased later.
If they would have said Badlands only that's fine but why is my purchase of my 22 BB not as valuable as a 23 BB purchase?

When the Off-Roadeo first started, it was for Big Broncos and Badlands, since they were the cooler ones. I don't even think the Heritage Limited (same features as Badlands) were allowed.
In 2023, when I bought mine, they opened it up for everyone going forward. I always thought it was to get more people into it but they seem to still be pretty popular.
The only thing I can think of is it's some weird accounting issue. For the specified BSs, $400 (or whatever that amount is) of the sale is diverted to BOR. For the other previous models, that money isn't diverted. Or it wasn't built into the cost, so there's no way to account for that.
I think Apple had a similar issue many years ago. They added some feature to an old iPod that wasn't originally specified. They had to charge $1 or $10 to account for that to make things legal or something. It didn't affect me so I don't remember the specifics.
I am very excited about Tennessee since that's driving distance for me. Texas and Utah are great and I wouldn't mind going to either place but since I only had til the end of the year to figure that out, I figured this was a credit I was going to lose out on...but now I have hope 
Being a ‘21 Badlands owner and having done Texas in ‘22, I don’t seem to be eligible for future events. Only a half day event at the other 4 locations at $795. That’s cost-prohibiting for even a full day.
A) the Heritage Limited would be included as it is a Badlands.
B) the HLE was sold exclusively in 2023 and all models after 2022 are included, so again, it qualifies.
As for why the 2022 and 2021 are not included, because before 2023 you had to have Badlands to get one Roadeo for free. So essentially, they priced the Badlands to include it. In 2023 and 2024, they priced all of the Sports to include it. So, you can go, just not for free.
Anyway, I’m excited to go to TN as that terrain is similar to Southern Illinois.
edit: I made a quick call. I’m not saying it will work but you may be able to argue your way into a free Roadeo (however you may or may not be able to drive your own 2022 or 2021 OBX or BB … and I will deny I said this)
