Yeah, I heard too some are jumping ship. I don't watch the ERA telecasts. Choosing contestants as being elite just isn't my cuppa tea.

Location: TN | I thought it was going to be a good thing, but I've watched a few on tv and I'm not impressed. The commentating on the broadcast is obviously geared more for people who don't know much about rodeo. I also get irritated that they don't show all the contestants' runs (they do a highlight reel of the ones they skipped in between events). |

Jeez, guess that's why it's hard to find footage.
I haven't seen one air at the time they're supposed to, I've been curious. I definitely don't like their system, but I was curious to see where it went(and hopefully improved).
I watched one of their videos calling Chayni "Number 3 in the world" and it kind of irked me, they didn't earn the right to that title, they just took it.
Oh well.

Plus if you "split fourth" in a round, it means you beat five whole people, two or three of which probably hit barrels in those dinky arenas. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | It just dawned on me how the ERA is starting to remind me of the US Football League (USFL) of the 80's. That league started up with a lot of high paid talented players and a lot of fanfare. It fizzled within 2 years and died off. The ERA sounded promising at first, but it's looking like a gamble that will fail......a shart. |

| I always thought that there just wasn't enough 'meat' in this deal. There were maybe 30 people that wanted to start their own 'elite' organization, then asked others. Some frankly I have always worried about. They had no money from the PRCA since like October, then they have only a handful of rodeos in the spring/early summer. If you did well at the American, that helped, or at Houston or another invite type rodeo. Some won a little, less that 10K over the early rodeos. If you're hauling to the Northwest and you don't up that direction, that's an expense. I doubt what some won even paid expenses. Now they have a long summer with nothing, unless you're a team roper.
They all are great competitors, but if you're not Charmayne or Trevor, and their financial state, I'm not sure how these next lean months are going to impact you... probably not good. This thing had zero infrastructure and I think they completely underestimated that aspect. I wish everyone well, but frankly I really don't see a future here for this organization at this time and with their very limited resources.
I hope the PRCA and the fans welcome back anyone that wants to return. I know I will.

Location: Idaho | This rodeo association was created by people who think pretty highly of themselves. Rodeo will never be like pro football, basketball, or pro whatever. What these self promoters failed to see was that your average Joe blow doesn't go to the rodeo to see these big name people, they go for the atmosphere, drinking, socializing, watching some rodeo events and the bull riding. They don't know or care if the big names are there. They didn't pick the night they went according to the daysheet. Sure there are some true fans that maybe are excited to see their favorite but those type of people are not what fill the stands. ERA felt they were showcasing the best. But the reason they were the best was because they had to go out and beat 50+ other contestants, not 9. They promoted that this was a way to put rodeo on the level with other pro sports, but all it did was throw up a bunch of smoke, lights, music and poor commentators and put 10 contestants into the arena who are getting paid regardless of how they do an only have to put out enough effort to beat 9 other contestants. They hand pick their elite. Several have jumped ship already. My personal favorite is the addition of Ashley Schaffer. Last time I cared to look, she was leading the standings. I have nothing against her, think she is great, and completely understand why she would sign on. However, unless you followed futurities and big barrel races, how would you know who she was? Are people going to these rodeos to watch her? No, they have never heard of her. They main way you become elite is working your way to the top of another association, or if you are family with stock holders. Sure they have these qualifiers, but what does that prove? You had a good day and are now elite? I've never been a fan, never will. I give the association a 2 year run before it folds up and quits. |

Location: torrington, wy | All I can say is. it is so nice to see a rodeo that you get a fair shake at. If you feel you've been given the wrong call, instant re-play makes the call if you challenge. I love Ashley and I think she is a beath of fresh air that the barrel racing industry as a whole needs. I can see why some object to the Elite wording and the announcer is not my favorite. With that being said I like to watch good rodeo's & I think the competition and the competitors are great. You do know the PRCA has not out lawed all these contestants they can work both,so as far as jumping ship, that is an un-true statement. I give them all a big hand for trying something new and getting more air time for Rodeo. You either Love this sport or you don't. I love the sport of rodeo. I hope it works out for the best to all involved.

you should host a watch party at your house.
That way everyone in the country that cares about the ERA could sit in your living room and cheer.

There have been a few that competed in both associations for quite a while....Shane Hanchey and Marty Yates are the first that come to mind. In order to enter PRCA rodeos, they just have to give up their ownership in ERA - but they can still compete in them. I'd like to see the ERA make it. It's weird looking at the PRCA standings and not seeing some of the best there. |

Yea but the question is how many "John Q Publics" are actually viewing.
I did find a few ratings.
The Redmond Rodeo that aired on 4/13/2016 drew an audience of 55,000 viewers.
In contrast, World Championships of Curling that aired on 4/12/2016 drew an audience of 81,000 viewers.

| I have watched the timed events from each of these rodeos, in an attempt to keep an open mind. However, I am not impressed. Certain events at one or two rodeos have been good but as a whole they have been pretty boring to watch. It still baffles me that they do not show every one. They have less contestants than the NFR and do not air live and still cannot manage to show each contestant. |

I will give them the fact that they are talented no doubt, but what makes it boring isn't lack of tradition. What makes these boring is the fact that it isn't this great competition with everyone is the team roping going faster than 6.5 and making it a knife fight to place. Or having to be everyone be 8 or faster in the calf roping. How many times has Tuf missed now? Or how about Trevor Brazile? I understand that is not going to happen at every performance. However, when you advertise yourself to be the best of the best I am hoping/expecting a lot better show than what I have seen so far as a whole. |

San Antonio really isn't any different than most rodeos. My point all along has been that very few rodeo attendees are there for the stars of the sport. They go for many other reasons.... concerts, festivals, community events...... most of them couldn't name two contestants. |

If you feel you've been given the wrong call, instant re-play makes the call if you challenge. I love Ashley and I think she is a beath of fresh air that the barrel racing industry as a whole needs. I can see why some object to the Elite wording and the announcer is not my favorite. With that being said I like to watch good rodeo's & I think the competition and the competitors are great. You do know the PRCA has not out lawed all these contestants they can work both,so as far as jumping ship, that is an un-true statement. I give them all a big hand for trying something new and getting more air time for Rodeo. You either Love this sport or you don't. I love the sport of rodeo. I hope it works out for the best to all involved.
you should host a watch party at your house.
That way everyone in the country that cares about the ERA could sit in your living room and cheer.
So nasty you are but great idea, I'll see if Shada wants to host the party, she has a bigger house than I do. |

I bet she wouldn't
She has never struck me as someone that wanted a half dozen strangers in her house.
