==Origins== [[Cowboy]]s originally developed this technique on working [[ranch]]es when it was necessary to capture and restrain a full-grown animal that was too large to handle by a single man.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.prorodeo.com/eventcategory.aspx?xu=8|title = Team Roping |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423160933/http://www.prorodeo.com/eventcategory.aspx?xu=8 |archive-date=April 23, 2012 |website=PRCA Pro Rodeo}}</ref> Over the years, as the sport has grown, a numbering system was added to rate each ropers individual talent level. The numbers go from one to ten (1-10) for headers and one to ten (1-10) for heelers. Using these numbers, a handicap system (the subtraction of time) has been developed to even the competition. Today there are tens of thousands of amateur ropers who compete for millions of dollars in prize money.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.reelsteer.com/history.html|title = Team Roping History |website=Reel Steer}}</ref>
