It's like a popularity contest or being picked for a game on the playground at recess. LOL
Here is the order of Lot numbers or contestants. Some to charity (3 Hall of Fames) and some to the contestant.

I wasn't sure what to expect them to go for.... Seems a bit cheap if they really do get good advertising out of it!

Yes she is such an inspiration. I like her Wheelchair Wednesday videos on her Facebook page. I looked up more about her.  Amberely's dad used to be a Major League Baseball player for several years. I can't remember his name.

Well I feel bad for the ones who will go as the cheapest ones.  That is certainly not a shot in the arm.  I'm sure sponsors want the most popular, best story or wh they think will be successful....... and maybe the ones they think need the money the most.

I haven't been following the auction details, but I didn't expect the bidders to be mostly local businesses?
I would have thought Coke, Pepsi, or some big name companies would have been in on this?
Or is it just for small businesses?

It's anyone who has the money and want to..... Wade Sundell just won the bid for a steer wrestler just to put his own name on the guy's back I guess.

Coke and Pepsi won't sponsor rodeo anymore. Pepsi pulled rodeo sponsorship a long, long time ago.  Coke held out and sponsored rodeo for a while longer.....animal rights pressure as many national sponsors.  It would have to be an independent Coke/Pepsi distributor who would sponsor.  
Basically this auction is not that well known..... and The Oscars are on right now. LOL 
You know how mainstream rodeo is and as mainstream as many think it can be.

The mainstream audience would probably disagree with our enjoyment of this auction.  I was just joking and making a point that rodeo doesn't appeal to the masses like Nascar, MLB, NFL, and NBA like many think it would under the right management.  I could be wrong.

The one who wins the bid gets his/her business name on the contestants back.  85% of the money goes to OKC Cowboy Hall of Fame, Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, and another hall of fame... maybe PRCA Hall of Fame.  Then 15 % of the bid goes to the contestant. 
Actually it is the other way on the %, 85 to the contestant and 15 to the charities.  Pretty cool! 

Well I knew it was something like that. lol

Calcuttas are too much fun. I do not think calcuttas are legal in TX. (paramutual wagering) I think all they money is going to three different charities.



The third charity is the Texas ranching and Heritage Foundation

This is what I thought. No offense to the HOFs, but I just don't see these companies paying all that money to donate. It seems more like a buddy-buddy deal.

The starting bid on each contestant is $500, the buyers get the back patch with their logo and 2 seats in the VIP section at The American.  also if the contestant wins their event, the buyer get on stage and a Bohlin buckle.  I think it is a great concept, it just may need some fine tuning in the years to come.  I hope other rodeos pick up on it!

What's a Calcutta?

A Calcutta is when the riders are auctioned off. It is a completely separate pot from the barrel race. Whoever bought the winning rider gets the pot. I don't know if it pays like 1st, 2nd, 3rd or just the winner. This is done in golf a lot. It really is fun. The really good riders usually bring big bucks. Years ago at the Texas Barrel Racing Futurity they were innocently having their Calcutta when they got raided!!! It was one of those cold days in TX when it was raining about three inches per hour. Some friends of mine had to slip out through a crack in the tarps around the building to keep from getting arrested. Scared the crap out of them plus they really got soaked. We still laugh about that one.

 I personally think it went fairly well  for a totally new and untried concept.  It was a great opportunity for some of the total unknowns to get a little bit of sponsorship and additional exposure as well as some contributions to decent endeavors.  I bet it will expand expotentially in the future.

K I AM LOST WHY WOULD 85% go to the consteant just because or do they have to win it?

On a calcutta the bidder buyer get the pay off if he wins and most tip the rider.

No they do not have to win anything..... like they do in a Calcutta. We just brought up Calcutta as example in this whole thing not being weird or creepy. This auction is just flat money given to the contestant for allowing the sponsorship on their shirt during the rodeo and the 15% for the charities.

Ok, that makes more sense. I was a little confused too.  I thought it was unorganized as well, but I guess it all came out in the wash.  I just wish they would mute Bob Tallman's microphone.  I often wonder if some of these rodeo announcers speak in that voice when having regular conversation. lol

It was setup as a bonus to the contestants, they all started the bidding at $500.  They did not have back numbers last year, just a small number on the front of their shirt, so that 'real estate' was available.  Why not give the contestants more money and part of the goal was to get new sponsors involved in rodeo?  I think it is a great idea and they can improve on it next year.

It is considered parimutual wagering. TX does not allow that. You cannot place a bet on TVG from TX.
