Not true. That was only for the PRCA. The WPRA let the girls compete in 2016. In 2017 they are following the PRCA. The girls can't be on the board or shareholders if they want to run WPRA in 2017.

| I do think it ironic that in 2016, Fallon hardly did any WPRA rodeos stating that she wanted to support the ERA, do clinics and not travel as much.
Now that the WPRA has said that you can't be a stock holder or on the board of the ERA and compete in the WPRA, she is now telling people to call the WPRA and tell them what they think about her being banned from an association she has been a member of for 26 years. This year it was HER choice not to compete. Now that it's not her choice, she has a bit of an issue? |

Exactly. I don't think it will be an issue at all by 2017. ERA is circling the drain as it is. |

I doubt there would be enough squads to pay out a D format. |

When she said she was paying out 3 places does that mean 3 squads? So the squads would split the prize money amongst themselves.. |

It was confusing because she said her squad would consist of 5 girls, but then she said your squad could be made up of 1 or more girls and then she said something about an average and that a hit barrel would only be a 1 second penalty. She was really all over the place in explaining it. |

| I'm glad I wasn't the only one a little confused. I understood that squads consisted of 2-5 team members, no divisional format (straight pay) of 3 holes, $150 entry fee per person, and 1 second penalty for down barrel rather than 5. I assumed the 3 holes were paid to squads rather than indiduals, but not sure.
I can be pretty slow to adapt to change, so at first I was like "Whoa!" Now I'm thinking "I wish I had a business mind like that!" |

I seriously think that y'all underestimate the power of her numbers of fans...
I know her fans are numerous, but how many squads would she need to pay out in the D format? But then again, she has many fans and they rabidly follow her. At 150 a squad, that's not a bad entry fee, but then any winnings have to be split with in the squad. I don't think her fans think that way though. They are just happy to be around her. Kinda like the Biebers, I guess. Heck, I am really to old to comment.  |

Not too old to comment, at all! You nailed it, exactly. Her fans go to her stuff like it's a concert and she markets it as such. Different auditing packages, including a "Back stage pass" package. Like she said live last night, this is a chance for her followers to run against their idols. It won't be about the entry fees, or the payout for those "squads" that enter... |
