BILLINGS, Mont. - Rocky Mountain College Athletics, in partnership with MSU Billings Athletics, is excited to announce TDS Fiber as the official sponsor of the Rimrock Rivalry beginning in 2025-26. 

TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is building an all-fiber, high-speed internet network in Billings that features some of the fastest speeds in the country. Service is now available in many areas, and work continues to expand to more neighborhoods. In addition to fast internet, TDS offers a sophisticated TV product as well as phone and mobile services. The company is proud to hire locally, with a workforce that includes alumni and current students from both sides of the Rimrock rivalry – including Rocky golfer Kadence Fischer and former MSUB golfer Sarah Schroefel.

The Rimrock Rivalry scoring system is consistent across all sports where the Battlin' Bears and MSU Billings compete head-to-head. Teams that win head-to-head matchups will receive 30 points, with the losing team earning 15 points. If a sport completes a season sweep over its cross-town opponent, they will earn an additional 15 points. The competition also includes a GPA component: the athletic department with the higher cumulative GPA will earn 30 points, with the other department earning 15 points.

After Rocky won the inaugural season in 2023-24 by the score of 465-450, MSU Billings evened up the series in 2024-25 by earning a 465-420 victory. The winner and the trophy presentation occurred at the Midland Roundtable Event on Monday evening in Billings.
