I have no feeling about the ERA one way or another. Time will tell the story one way or another. But I definitely feel like the PRCA is failing as far as representing the cowboys and responding to their needs and concerns. It is all well and good to say they can go elsewhere if they are not happy with the association, but it is a two way street and without the cowboys, the PRCA isn't jack. First off, not defending the ERA here, I think that they should stand on their own two feet. How many on here know that that rodeo committees have to pay a sanction fee in any association that they affiliate with? And that the PRCA sanction fees are hefty? And that ach year you have a successful PRCA rodeo, that sanction fee goes up? The bigger the rodeo, the higher the sanction fee, the higher the price hike per year goes up. This is a factor in why some successful rodeos have left the PRCA. Just thought that I would point that out. That is all. Colorado Springs (right in the PRCA's backyard) is a pretty good sized rodeo that has not been a PRCA rodeo for the last two years. The committee said they can give more money to their military charities and pay the contestants better. It is now a Cinch rodeo with a good format where they have a winner each night and then a semi-finals and a champion round on Saturday night with $15,000 to the winner of each event.

The judges totally screwed one barrel racer there last year. It was a bad deal. The girl right before her didn't check in. So when it was Elaine's turn, they pulled the barrels because they thought they were done. They refused to let her run until after the rodeo. It started raining. Then the clowns blew something up at first barrel. The judges didn't have anyone clean the mess up and didn't bother to set the barrels on the stakes right. In their words when they were told what happened was just wrong..."We can do whatever we want because we don't have any rules to follow".
