| So I see ERA guys are competing at PRCA rodeos, but apparently don't get the money if they place, and are not in the standings. Does anyone know when the court date is? |

Location: That part of Texas | MS2011 - 2016-01-23 9:05 PM I think the judge sent them to mediation to work it out. +1 -- It's true that the judge sent the parties to mediation. As for court dates, I'm sure they won't docket the case (put it on a schedule to be reviewed again) until that is completed.
As an FYI, in smaller civil cases that I have been ordered into mediation on, it's typically a 1-2 month process at times to get this done. You have to match up attorney schedules to the mediator's schedule and to the client's schedules. So you have to find a day that all attorneys (or the one's with full authority to enter into an agreement), the clients (i.e., these rodeo contestants and PRCA reps), and the mediator can do it on. From that alone, I'm sure everybody understands why I say it may take them 2-3 months on just getting a date that everybody can be there for. Most mediations also can take 2-3 tries before everything is settled so multiply the above scenerio by that and it's easy to say that it may be summertime before we see any more court schedulings in this matter.

| I was thinking PRCA and ERA came to an agreement with the mediation and that's why ERA guys are able to compete at PRCA rodeos now, (but the money is being held until after the court date).
As to NFR money being held that would be hard to believe since the NFR was based on 2015. |

I would think they would have trouble with holding their NFR earnings. |

| I know at Ft Worth, they have notices posted to ERA Contestants telling them they have to sign an additional waiver and if they don't then they can't compete. It further states it's the contestants job to get the form from the secretary and not the secretary's job to give it to them. |

As to NFR money being held that would be hard to believe since the NFR was based on 2015.
I haven't seen the actual court paperwork, but I do believe the ability to compete is based upon a temporary restraining order issued by the court maintaining the status quo for now (i.e., allowing competition as beforehand) until a final ruling can be reached either through mediation or battling it out in the court. I don't know if this restraining order was agreed to by the parties or entered by the court on the judge's own power. This order has been place since the suit was initially filed or shortly thereafter so I don't believe it's a product of any formal mediation. At best, it may be something worked out between the parties at the preliminary court hearing in December but my gut says it was ordered by the judge. It's typical for the court to enter such orders maintaining the status quo and trying to keep things operating on a temporary basis as it was before the issues at the heart of the suit arose. |

Unless they start to "jump ship"
Has anyone seen an ERA bull riding roster yet? Now I see the PRCA scheduled a Champions Challenge the same day as the American. From what I understand, any Cowboys that are under contract with the Champions Challenge that don't compete in the first Challenge, can't compete in any of the other Challenges. Can anyone shed some light on that?

No idea as far as them not being able to compete in any other Champions Challenge events....but I do know that all of them signed a contract with The American saying they would be there. SO.....they will not be at the Champions Challenge that day. EEEEK!
I didn't know they were withholding winnings...this is the first time I have heard about it. This is all kind of crazy...I am ready for it all to be over with and I am not even competing in anything until the summer and have no dog in the fight. haha! BUT, I do side with the PRCA on this deal/ on the other hand I think its a shame that The American ended up being on the same day as the PRCA Champions Challenge. Last I heard that PRCA rodeo has always fallen on those dates for years now.....and The American shouldn't have scheduled on that day to avoid conflict.
No bull-riding roster yet.

Did the PBR vote at the PBR finals to adopt the same bylaw as PRCA about not letting a bull rider compete in PBR if they are board member, have financial interest etc in another association? |

well if the PRCA wins the NFR will have lots of new faces having looked ta the ERA's current roster.
They (the PRCA) are only trying to exclude the owners of the ERA, not everyone on the ERA roster is an owner of this association. So if the PRCA was to win the court case we would still some of these competitors just not those that formed the ERA. |

| I havent heard anything pertaining to the PBR. But I know someone that will probably know.
I think it happened a while back, that if you are a owner of the ERA you can not ride bulls in PBR. I think that is right, I asked a friend. Just didnt get as much hype as the PRCA did because no one decided to sue the PBR over it.

| Western Sports Weekly on RFDTV had an update regarding the ERA and PRCA, there will be a ruling regarding the preliminary injunction by Feb. 12th If the ERA wins the preliminary injunction ruling, then all won money that is being held in escrow (won by ERA members) will be released. If PRCA wins the preliminary injunction ruling than ERA members will be refunded their fees only. |

Yes, makes sense to me too. There are a few bullriders in the ERA, although they haven't released the roster. One of the bull riders is Ty Pozzobon, I believe. That could be a rumor. They other couple are not really talking about it. |

Stampede sticks with PRCA for July rodeos
1
By LEW FREEDMAN | Posted 23 hours ago
In the battle between the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the new Elite Rodeo Association, the Cody Stampede has chosen sides.
The Stampede is sticking with the established governing body of the sport and has committed to remaining a PRCA-sanctioned rodeo in 2016.
“I have signed the papers,” said Mike Darby, the president of the Stampede Board of Directors.
The annual Cody Stampede, conducted over the July 4 holiday in honor of Buffalo Bill Cody, was required to renew its sanctioning status by January.
Despite the creation of the ERA, which plans to establish its own circuit for the top money-winning and champion cowboys, challenging the PRCA’s hold on the top talent, this was the same deadline as usual.
In the fall, in response to the ERA’s announcement it would conduct its own circuit and hold its own championships this year, the PRCA’s board passed new retaliatory rules. The restrictive nature of the policies would ban cowboys from sanctioned rodeos if they competed on other pro circuits.
Since then the ERA has filed suit in federal court in Dallas claiming the PRCA is violating anti-trust laws. The groups have been at an impasse since.
Considerable uncertainty surrounds the future for top rodeo cowboys in the middle of this war, but the Stampede was looking for stability.
“We are re-upping with the PRCA,” Darby said. “It should be business as usual. We have to dance with who brought us. We have to plan ahead. We will have rodeos no matter what.”
Darby said the Stampede board is not particularly worried about who will come to Cody to compete in the big event.
Typically, the purse is about $400,000 and the Stampede maintains a stature as the richest one-header rodeo in the sport.
“That’s their fight, not ours,”
Darby said of the PRCA and ERA. “We are in the line of fire. We don’t want to be collateral damage.”
The Stampede does not expect to be, either. It is possible some competitors will opt out of the Stampede, but the board believes the Cody field will retain its high quality.
“I would expect we will see most of the top cowboys,” Darby said.
Of Stampede fans who come to the rodeo each year, Darby said, “I don’t think they’ll see a discernible difference. I think it will still be a top-notch performance.”
Stampede officials have watched with alarm the increasingly rancorous schism between the PRCA and ERA, because they do not think it is good for the sport.
Darby was one of many Cody rodeo individuals who traveled to Las Vegas in December during the National Finals Rodeo. Although the top cowboys were competing in that end-of-the-year championship and PRCA officials were present, he said he saw no evidence the groups tried to smooth things over.
“It was abnormally quiet,” he said. “It was not discussed, at least officially, and I was in some high-level meetings. The way I think of it, if you’re litigious you don’t talk about it.”
There was little debate among Stampede board members about whether to retain allegiance to the PRCA or go it alone, Darby said.
Nobody really knows if the ERA will get off the ground and no one can predict what the courts will do.
“We want to still be around,” Darby said. “We still hope it gets resolved.”

| What a mess.
I don't have a problem with someone starting a new organization. But it seems what the ERA is saying 'we're a new, special organization and we don't have the funds or the infrastructure to put on a year's worth of rodeos, so we'll have the PRCA use their infrastructure, since we don't have one, and then after a year or 2 we'll do our own...' |

The only way others can qualify for the ERA is through PRCA rodeos because they are the only ones that fit the criteria. They are using PRCA rodeos to determine who might get to enter. That is piggy backing. If they had established their own qualifying events that would be different, but they aren't. |

But it seems what the ERA is saying 'we're a new, special organization and we don't have the funds or the infrastructure to put on a year's worth of rodeos, so we'll have the PRCA use their infrastructure, since we don't have one, and then after a year or 2 we'll do our own...' I don't see anywhere where they are trying to ride the PRCA piggy back....they have their OWN schedule?

Kim is right and their "own schedule" only came after the PRCA said a commitee cant hold another rodeo within 72 hours of a PRCA sanctioned event. That's because ERA was trying to hold their rodeo on the same weekend and same venue as some of the large PRCA rodeos. |

| Well I learned something new today. So the ERA folks would only go to these 8 rodeos and if they met the ERA criteria to go the finals in Dallas, then they'd have 9 rodeos? Guess that meets their point of not hauling as much. |
