That's just a HUGE difference. Both parties earned it, but why should one get so much more then the other? They get a PIECE of the other 1,000,000. There's 2,000,000 total to be had. The first million gets point between the winners from the Top Ten pot, the other million gets split between the Qualifier pot winners.
So if a top ten person wins it they don't get the 1 million? only the 100 thousand? That is strange and what if someone in the top ten doesn't want to compete? Or declines because of the 1 million to 100 thousand difference? |

I didn't pay attention to the payout, but the top ten from the NFR have the option to decline. They will just move down the list they said. |

TargetTime - 2013-08-22 10:09 PM Is this the first rodeo ever that they are letting the guys compete in barrels as well? I saw that Men or Women can qualify. Can't wait to see all of this come about.
Many open rodeos allow men to compete. This is the first at a rodeo this level for this money. The men will have to qualify through the BBR qualifiers.Â
my bad... I did not realize they allowed men to compete in open rodeo barrel racing. I have never seen that. |

Not all open rodeos do allow men to compete............ all depends on the individual stock contractor putting on the open rodeo. |

They don't around here either.. I'd guess the majority of open rodeos don't have men competitors.
Am i the only one that feels like its a rodeo for everything except the barrels and its a barrel race... I was talking to a friend and we both scratched our head a little on that part.. I think it's going to very interesting and will be following! |

Location: Kansas | I was getting excited and thinking I'd for sure go to the Lincoln Barrel Bash this year but then I saw that its a $500 entry fee to run in their qualifier race. I was hoping it was just part of the Barrel Bash or had a smaller entry fee......$100 maybe but I don't see any way "normal" people could (or would be willing to) swing $500. |

That's what I think it will be too - the slot race crew that has the money for those type of entry fees. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | Did you also hear about the "exceptions"? Something like they will "invite" certain barrel racers/competitors if they don't qualify? They mentioned Charmayne James could get an invite where she has such a huge fan base. They said...this rodeo is for the "fans" and they want to make sure they have competitors that the fans want to watch? I was confused on that too! |

Location: Texas | Speaking from spectators point of view, I am really excited to see the BEST competitors in this rodeo, not just the best members of the WPRA and PRCA. I don't really care how they qualify them, or if they invite them, as long as I get my money's worth. I want to see the best barrel racing I have ever seen. I'm a fan, and follow the futurity trainers, but rarely get to see them compete, so to see them compete against the best of the WPRA would be a dream. I also want to see the BEST BARREL HORSES compete here. I would love to go to the semi finals in Mesquite, then to the finals in Arlington. (Don't know if I will get to go to Mesquite, but I definitely will try)
I really used to think that I would love to have the NFR come to Cowboys Stadium, but this is SO MUCH BETTER!  |

I believe they go by the rules of whoever sanctions the particular event. BBR does the barrels and their rules allow men, PBR does the bulls and I highly doubt they allow women. You have to check the rules of those who "host" the other events. |

I guess you could look at it like an oppurtunity to win HUGE $$$ and not haul like the rodeo girls do? $500 once beats all the rodeos, miles, ect week after week to make the finals of an event of this magnitude. It will certainly eliminate those who dont think they can win or risk the fees to do so. |

Location: West Tennessee | missroselee - 2013-08-22 7:20 PM I'm trying to figure out how a top ten winner only gets 100k but a qualifier gets 1.1 million? That's just a HUGE difference. Both parties earned it, but why should one get so much more then the other?
I think the 1 million set aside for the side pot -- will be split between events. So, if qualifiers when in all 5 events over the 'sanctioned' riders / it would be a $200,000.00 bonus payout type of thing. If no qualifiers wing -- I suppose the event gets to keep those funds?
This is interesting? Also makes me wonder what ever happened to the East/West qualifier thing from a few years ago? Anyone remember what I'm talking about -- it had a youth & open, riders had to qualify for teams. |

It just scares me to plunk down that sort of cash for one run. I about croaked last year when friends talked me into entering a slot race sidepot for $100 entry fee! The entry fee is definitely going to weed out a lot of people. |
