Location: Oklahoma | I know it's being nit picky, but if they can give Chayni the credit for winning the American Semis, why not Lisa credit for winning the entire production 2x? & just for the record I'm not trying to take away from any of them. |

I think she's just done so much.. It's hard to name all her major accomplishments. |

| Why no Angie Meadors? Danyelle Campbell? They do a lot of modeling, ride a lot of good horses and have been to the NFR. What about Molly Powell? She can jump on any horse and win. She's a jockey!! Tammy Fischer? Jackie Dube J always brings people to the fences.

| Putting Chayni on the roster was a great PR move. They saw all the attention she received from the American.

I'm sure it was hard trying to figure out who was going to be the top 10. Hopefully after the first year it will be decided by money won. |

All great jockeys but looks like they picked ones who have most recently been in the spotlight so to speak, names they think will sell more tickets. |

Location: MD | There were some very wise choices made in picking these contestants, from a PR perspective. There are just enough actual top barrel racers to keep real fan attention and then the ones that draw in a large amount of people with good public interest stories. |

Maybe they didn't want to agree to whatever the contract is, or couldn't make it work in their schedules. |

Well... that did it for me. I'm happy for Chayni, but that just took it out of "professional" for me. I don't think that kids should be allowed in... not that my opinion matters two doodles! LOL

I don't think that kids should be allowed in... not that my opinion matters two doodles! LOL Charmayne won I think 5 of her World Championships between the ages of 14-18 back when there was no age limit. If there had been an age limit, she would not likely be an 11 time world champion just based on the age Scamper came into her life. So of course, she is going to be open to all ages being allowed to compete. Fallon Taylor qualified for the NFR under the age of 18 before the age limit rule. I do think Angie Meadors had a qualification or even 2 under the age of 18 before the age limit change. Could be wrong about Angie, but for some reason I feel like she had at least one qualification under 18.

Very true. I also wondered if the ones listed have any financial investment in the ERA. Maybe not. Just something to make you say hmmm....... |

I'm sure it was hard trying to figure out who was going to be the top 10. Hopefully after the first year it will be decided by money won. That's a good question NTO. I am guessing that will be part of the qualifying process. I am only guessing it will be similar to the PBR. They have the big events with the top 45 or so and then their smaller challenger events. When someone starts losing too much, they are booted off the tour and bumped back to the challenger event level while a challenger contestant on the rise with lots of wins replaces the bumped tour contestant. If someone gets hurt, they go to the next highest point earner from their challenger events. Maybe it will be something like that.

| I wonder if the ERA will have commentators with grammar similar to the PBR. I just heard a PBR Finals commentator say "Me and you growed up". "When you WAS..." Not really "professional" to me, but it's not my call. LOL
The PBR Finals started tonight. It's on tv right now.

I think it's a great line up! They had to start somewhere and after the first year you will have to qualify. There are so many positives about having these girls for the start up. |
