Location: Texas | i was hoping there would be more turn over in the tour roster year to year. Seems pretty difficult to do all that just to get 2 spots and upset only 3 of those people on that roster per year. |

How would a youth be able to qualify based on this system? With Chayni up there, I would have thought the qualifying system would have been geared a little differently to allow youth to attempt to qualify. But where is there any rodeos that isn't 18 and over, has $5000 added, and has all the events? Not just for barrel racing, but for all events.
They can't. The only youth rodeos that might meet the criteria are the IFYR, Little Britches Finals and HS or JHS Rodeo Finals. The format the ERA came up with will exclude youth competitors from being able to qualify. |

But Little Britches finals, and High School Nationals do not have 5000.00 added. So that still doesnt let them qualify!! |

Location: The edge of no where | Hey - not sure if ya'll noticed, but this is marked up as the qualification tour for 2016. Doesn't mean that it won't change for 2017. Last month everyone was ****y that the first year the field was set for the finals - they add a few contestants and people are still ****y about how they have to qualify. Could we not wait for the 2017 tour qualification requirements to come out before deciding they're so unfair? |

Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!! | SKM - 2015-10-29 6:17 AM On the 36 thing....I'm not reading it that they expect 36 contestants per event. I'm reading it as the rodeos can't set limits that make it where they accept less than 36 contestants. I do feel the ERA seems to be making this up as they go along.
That part means you can't go to a small rodeo that does have the 5k added and they only get 15 contestants in your event. Makes it too easy to qualify for ERA so they say your rodeo has to have at least 36 in your event to make it a qualified rodeo to make your money count for ERA. |

– The rodeo may not have limits less than 36 entries per discipline.
THAT means that you can NOT count a rodeo that LIMITS the entries to less than 36 PER EVENT......... EXAMPLE: If a rodeo only takes 30 contestants per event, you can NOT count it.....
eta: Some rodeos limit the number of team ropers, etc

If I can find a rodeo that adds $5k to the barrel race and only get 15 entries......I'd drive 7 hours to run.  |

They are banking on TV money and sponsors

It seems like they think these two will bring in a lot of money considering some of the expenses involved in running this deal and putting on the rodeos? Where does stock contractor fees, facility costs, insurance etc. as well as splitting the money across all of the owners/shareholders factor in? |

To me, that would be the one thing they would have right and sewn up since Charmayne's husband was a TV executive (if I am not mistaken). |

Didn't know that. Fox Sports One is only a couple of years old. It was started to compete with ESPN. They are in need of sports programming to fill a 24 channel. I'm just real curious as to how much they paid for this considering how little interest there was in the NFR tv rights. |
