Does this mean the the MEN can finally compete in the barrels if they choose to enter the qualifiers? Or is there fine print somewhere that I'm missing? Can men enter the rodeos at Mesquite? If not, I highly doubt that they will be able to compete as they wouldn't have if they had stayed with the original format (WPRA rodeos counting). I don't know what rules or governing body sactions/runs Mesquite. I'm not a rodeo competitior, just a fan. So when i see the format that says "open to the world", it doesn't list any gender or age restrictions, so I would assume it's everybody. The link also didn't mention what rules will be followed. Like with the American, it clearly states that BBR rules will apply for the barrels. I hope you don't think I'm trying to argue, just interested to watch this all un-fold and my very first thought when I opened the link was that the guys can compete in the barrels and thought maybe somebody would know. Using current WPRA rules, Chayni would not qualify. Exactly my thought. They aren't following any real set of rules yet (at least that I can find) and if there are no age restrictions, I don't see anything that has gender restrictions.

They aren't following any real set of rules yet (at least that I can find) and if there are no age restrictions, I don't see anything that has gender restrictions. THIS was their "Original" qualifying rules......Most of any rodeos that would have fallen into that "approved" category do NOT allow men to enter the barrel race. I doubt if that has changed with the Mesquite qualifiers. Edited to add: Under this premise there wasn't any age restrictions. I was mistaken that they were only going to count WPRA.....However, how many "open" rodeos, etc, add $5K or more in the barrel racing. Rodeo athletes can earn points by placing at any rodeo they choose that fits the ERA’s definition of an approved rodeo (see definition below). The qualifying system can be broken down into 4 steps: Join, Declare, Win=Points, Compete at Dallas Join: Any athlete desiring to earn one of the two event qualifier spots at the World Championships will join by going to Qualifying Registration page (COMING SOON) and registering to become an ERA Qualifier. At that time, each athlete registering will be given a secured login to his or her Qualifier page. Declare: On their personal secured login qualifier page, each athlete can declare the rodeos they would like for ERA to count towards their qualifying points. This must be done 24 hours before the beginning competition in the event you are designating and meet the ERA’s qualifying rodeo requirements. Athlete can only designate 15 rodeos to count towards their point standings. Win=Points: After the completion of the declared rodeo, the qualifier will earn points based on any paid place they receive. Points will be given in all rounds where they won a paid place. Compete at Dallas: Athletes that find themselves in the top 2 of their event’s standings at the end of the qualifying race will advance to the 2016 ERA World Championships in Dallas, Texas. DEFINING QUALIFYING RODEOS -Must have all 7 standard rodeo disciplines, unless competition is an ERA approved event. Bareback Riding Steer Wrestling Saddle Bronc Riding Tie-down Roping Team Roping Bull Riding Barrel Racing – Must have a minimum of $5,000.00 added money in the event that you are declaring points in. – The rodeo may not have limits less than 36 entries per discipline. – Can be any organization or open rodeo whose results are public and verifiable.

BHW's Simon Cowell Location: The Saudia Arabia of Wind Energy, Western Oklahoma	Ok I am a little confused. I thought that the earlier qualifying system pertained to who gets to go on the tour and enter their rodeos. This isn't about qualification for the tour but qualifications for the finals??

The way that I understand it........Every year the "bottom three" drop from the roster and can be replaced through the qualifying system for the next year's rodeos? Edited by NJJ 2016-04-17 4:31 PM

So they still are letting 3 in from the original qualifying criteria? I would guess that the only way the Mesquite qualifiers could make the tour would be to have a good enough finals that they moved ahead of at least 3 of the original qualifiers. That would mean that 4 would get dropped? The bottom 4 would be dropped if one of the Mesquite qualifiers had a great finals. It is confusing for sure.

When does a contestant get dropped from the tour? What or who determines when a contestant should be dropped? I know the PBR has a standard by which they follow for dropping one of their guys from The Built Ford Tough Series. Maybe the ERA will start the drop system next year since this in their inagural year. This has no affect on me. I'm just curious as to how it all works. Edited by sodapop 2016-04-17 10:23 PM

Veteran Posts: 112	I think the changing of contestants happens after the Finals, based on performance/money won their? I thought that's what the original plan was?

Mesquite has changed it's format several times over the last 10 years. It has been an open rodeo at times. I have never seen a male barrel racer but I have seen women participate in both roping and roughstock events.

This year, with just the Saturday only performance, the slack could last all day. Should be interesting.
