Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | Nevertooold - 2015-10-22 12:06 PM I had asked if they have alternates but I never got an answer. What are they going to do if someone gets hurt? Who is going to take their place.
These are the 10 that will be competing at each of their rodeos in 2016 and then they will have a finals in Dallas.
I would like to know how the others are going to compete in order to qualify to be one of the top 10 the following year?
I think it would be kind of cool if they set it up kind of like the PBR does it. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Beginning this week, the ERA will release its 2016 tour roster by event throughout the month of October. The 2016 ERA Tour Roster was filled by peer draft, which was made up of founding ERA members who are considered to be the best athletes in the world. They based their decision on a variety of criteria, some of which included: history in the sport, world championship appearances, fan appeal, ability, and they even identified talented up and comers who will be the sports future stars. In the end they selected based on talent, and whom they thought could compete at a very high level.
The 2016 ERA roster is the most decorated group of professional rodeo contestants and has more world champions among them than any other rodeo organization in the world, making each event a must watch for rodeo fans.
There were 10 spots to fill per event for the 2016 tour. Athletes desiring to make the ERA Tour will have the opportunity to earn their way onto the 2017 tour through the qualification system.
More information about the 2017 ERA Qualifying System will be released soon. |

My question too, how those who come up through the quaifers will take the place of the current roster. How does the 2016 roster make the cut for next year's tour, top 4/5 come back etc. ? |

| I actually think these are going to be boring to watch! But that is just me!!Same 10 people every rodeo? It isn't that exciting. Maybe if they took 20 an event it would be different. Not my idea of exciting.
And I too am shocked they took a little girl. Just doesn't seem very Elite. But money talks! |

That little kid stomped a mud hole in everybody at the American Semi's last year, far more "Elite" than some... |

Yep, everyone has their own opinion what "Elite" means I suppose. |

Good grief people - have you thought about this from the marketing angle? She will bring a TON of fans to the table. It's a genius move to include her. The whole point of ERA is to try to make rodeo more mainstream and appeal to a wider range of people. She's got a pretty incredible story from the American last year (the kid is flat out TOUGH!). I've watched her work her butt off riding a variety of horses.

Not sure why I am being attacked when 20 other people have the same opinion I have.
You have yours and we have ours. Its pretty simple. I guess we will all see how it plays out and if they can do what the PBR did. |

Then the NFR should put a fan favorite into 15th spot...LOL |

They're attempting to build something new and it makes me sad to see people that I know love rodeo ripping it apart when it doesn't even affect them. There is NO way to come up with a start list that everyone will agree on....but you've got to start somewhere.
At least these guys are doing something to try to improve rodeo instead of sitting on the fence whining. I will always respect the doers. How many posts have there been on this board griping about the PRCA & WPRA? There's also been griping about the American qualifier system and how it's run. At least it's a start. It will have growing pains....just like everything else.

I completely agree with you! I am totally not ripping down the ERA what so ever. I, as many other, am simply surprised who got chosen.
But if they had to pay a % to become a shareholder then I understand!
All the power to that little girl and her family. Its fantastic for them. |

I think what most of us "downers" have about any association is they set rules and then don't follow them. They bend and spin to their liking and I find offensive and a slap in the face to other competitors. JMHO |

| I think is awesome that they took a kid for the roster! It may open the door for other kids in the future? Now every kid that thinks they are good has a chance to go qualify! Most people don't want kids involved now , even though some of the biggest icons of barrel racing made a name for themselves as kids!! I will put my own daughters resume against any youth rider and picking Chayni was a smart choice- she has already had great media coverage and she won an event (American semifinals) that no other kid has won! There are a ton of good kids with good resumes , but they all run in different associations or events so it would have been a major blowup to pick a different kid other than Chayni! The roster is only for 1 year and if you don't like it load up your horse and go to the qualifiers in 2016 to get on the tour for 2017! If the ERA succeeds we will load up and try to qualify! Look at it as an opportunity!

So.. is that the entire roster? Like, are those the only ones we will see at ERA events? Or is that just their top whoever? I am confused..
Yes, this is the entire roster. These 10 girls will be the ones competing in all 10 ERA rodeos. |
