Does anyone here put on team ropings? I'm curious to know what program you use for them. I'm thinking the Charlie Horse one is the best, but there are so many out there I wasn't positive. I know I've used a few that were terrible and I didn't want to spend the money on that wasn't user freindly. I'm going to post over on Roping Horse World too. Thanks in advance!

We have Charlie Horse. I don't really know about any other software but Gene has been fantastic to work with. He has written in several updates for me based on my needs. For instance, around here we do a lot of ropings with add-ons so I was running the draw on my computer and add-ons were on index cards. I had a couple of long conversations with Gene about how I thought he could make the add-ons work to get them in the computer. He added a button where I could add teams after the draw and it works pretty slick. He's also worked on it not bunching ropers up at the beginning or end of the roping for me. For the cost of the software and the customer service I'd pick Charlie Horse again in a minute.

These are things I'd absolutely have to be able to do with software. It should keep ropers min of about 8 runs apart.
Results should be quick, it should write checks and be user friendly.

Does the Roping Assistant Professional allow you to add on?

Roping Assistant Pro is very easy to use and yes you can do add ons. You buy it each year. Not sure how much it is the first time but then it is like $250 a year after that. We networked ours so we could start ropings sooner while some were still entering. Love the system!
