Location: The edge of no where | Shorty 2 - 2016-03-17 8:46 AM WPRA takes 6% of added money and entry fees. Sponsor money is added after the 6% is deducted. Bottom of page 71, top of page 72 of 2016 rule book. Ok - so what is the difference in added money & sponsor money?

I keep wondering how the ERA benefits anyone who is not on the top 10 roster?? If you're not one of the 10 in each event that they're advertising as being up at this first rodeo, what would you get out of being involved? Are they paying a salary to all the members or something? I know it's a little off topic here but I can't help wondering. If you go to www.prorodeo.com and read the court doc that the PRCA posted in their news section, I believe it says that the PRCA is considered a non-profit organization while the ERA is a FOR profit organization. Might have to go back and read again to make sure, but thought that was sort of interesting.

If I've read correctly, Colorado isn't one of the states who requires shareholders/stockholders to be listed or otherwise posted with the Secretary of State. I know that you can request a copy of the list but probably won't get it unless you are a holder yourself or seeking to buy out other holders (which may be prohibited by the bylaws in some form). We'll probably never know. It may honestly be a thing where that money is not being distributed but held so that it can be funneled into other ventures -- like the Ram Circuit, Champions Challenge and the other tours PRCA has a hand in -- or even charity. The way how PRCA acted in October by passing the new bylaws the way they did and the things said within them lead me to believe that it's probably more than all that but I don't really know. Only those who know who's on the list really have an inside track. |

| I wonder who will be announcing the ERA rodeos live in the arena. Anyone know? I also wonder who will be commentating the tv telecast of the ERA rodeos. Anyone know? I'm watching Rodeo Houston with 3 announcers. The younger guy impresses me....can't think of his name..... I hope the ERA doesn't use an announcer who feels the need to stretch out every single word with a strained type voice. Hopefully they get someone entertaining who will draw in "non rodeo" people. If I was not a rodeo fan, I would have turned the channel on Rodeo Houston shortly after it started. They are the in arena and tv announcers. The one younger guy by himself would be fine with me. The two veteran announcers straining and stretching their words to near losing breath is not my preference. Different strokes for different folks. I like the strained voices holding and stretching notes in soul singing not in announcing. LOL

I totally agree with the announcing at Houston. The younger guy is enthusiastic and educated, but Bob Tallman.... I don't mean this bad, but I kinda wish he'd go ahead and retire. Just not my cup of tea. I really like the trio that do the NFR. Joe Beaver seems to know a thing or 2 about barrel horses.  |

Bob is a one of the finest humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
as long as he can draw breath and stand up, he needs to be on the mic. |

 Wade may have become a bigger stockholder in the ERA after that big win.
I do hope it works for everyone involved, because I love rodeo. I don't know why my font is changing. lol |

That would be Anthony Lucia from Rodeo girls. |

I just heard in an interview that Anthony Lucia and Randy Schmutz would be announcing this weekend's rodeo in Redmond. |

Location: Mesa WA, USA | Would like to know how tickets sales are going for the Rodeo in Redmond OR. Not exactly a rodeo area. They have a hard time filling seats for the Circuit finals there. I was looking at the schedule of events and they have things planned from the 22nd to the 26th. Not sure they will have the interest for what they have planned there. Nice Facility but not many seats.

I can name 5 NFR Bareback riders from there, oh and how about Brenda Mays? The Sisters rodeo is no punkin roller either. I have several friends that are stock contractors. There are many others that stay close and rodeo in the NW because of family and other commitments. Jr. and High School rodeo is pretty competitve in that area too. Anyway, I hope it is successful. ETA : Every event I have been to in the past has been well attended. I don't know about any recent bad attendance but it could be because of the shift in the economy. I hope with that many well known contestants being there it should be a good draw.

I'm curious too about the seats. From the picture of the alley on the ERA site, it looked quite small, but it could be we just couldn't see the upper deck. Who from there can tell us? |

The indoor there is nice, depending on who works the ground is if it's good, bad or in between. Alley also depends on how they set it up. Most events cut off the one end of the arena for a holding area. There is a small warm up area off of it if they want to make a longer alley. They do have a nice outdoor Rodeo arena there too, I had hoped they would come back in the summer and run it outside. I would say seating wise it would be like being at The South Point in Vegas or Reno's indoor. |

Yeah. It came across my FB page today from one of the more famous riders. I follow a few of them. She said it was sold out. |

| To answer my own question, it will air on April 6 on FoxSports2 Channel. I don't think that is in many basic cable or satellite tv package. I can't remember the time. Not sure what channel that would be for Direct or Dish.

| Delta Cowgirl - 2016-03-26 10:32 AM http://www.bendbulletin.com/home/4162321-151/big-crowd-greets-new-r...This article states that the winners of each event earn $3625. If a contestant won all 9 ERA tour events that would only come to $32,625. That's hardly lucrative. I wonder how much the contestants make from the ticket sales and tv contract.
