Queen Boobie 2 Posts: 7521	dashnlotti - 2014-10-14 4:27 PM Guys, all of the rules are on the website and have been since this thing was first announced last year. I don't get the confusion... I love this concept and will be in Ft. Worth to watch the semifinals! We went to Mesquite last year, I'm excited to go to Ft. Worth this year-much more to do! It makes for good conversation here :)

What is the Patriot. I know, but I'm not telling you :) oH, OK, I'll tell you. It's a very good movie starring Mel Gibson and the late Heath Ledger. You should watch it. Thats a really good movie to watch, its a tear jerker tho.

Off the Wall Wacky Posts: 2981 Location: Louisiana	NJJ - 2014-10-15 8:17 AM dashnlotti - 2014-10-14 10:49 Does anyone know the exact dates of the semifinals? I asked a couple weeks ago but never made it back to see if it was answered. I think this is huge mistake.....If they ever want to make this rodeo a "destination" point for spectators, they will have to quit having it on two separate week-ends with nothing in between..... THE AMERICAN SEMI-FINALS will be at the Cowtown Coliseum in the Fort Worth Stockyards on February 20-22, 2015. THE AMERICAN is on March 1, 2015 at the AT&T Arena. That's why we go to the semifinals and not the big one. First, it's MUCH cheaper to get good seats. Plus it also guarantees we get to see the people we know compete. Hopefully we also get to see a couple on TV this year, but it was still pretty cool watching everyone we know in Mesquite. I think Ft. Worth will draw a better crowd than Mesquite did, we were very surprised at the lack of spectators last year. I think a larger shopping area and more daytime activities would also draw more people. Of course it was the first year, and also somewhat of an experiment. I think it will only continue to grow.

10D Crack Champion	astreakinchic - 2014-10-16 12:52 PM Can someone list ALL qualifiers and exemptions please? All of that info is on their facebook page. Google "RFDTV The American Facebook". It is a public Facebook page so you don't have to have Facebook to view it. You can follow the link I posted in my original post here on this thread. Also the RFDTV American website has info too....and links to info.

More people would come to both if it were. They really have the best venue for contestants AND spectators. Now they just need to tweek it to cater to the spectators more to draw them in.Make it easier to go to both, make it only 1 week apart and fill the week in between. I would much rather go watch The American, both semi's and finals over The NFR, but they almost make it hard for the spectator....yet, look at how many go to the NFR and the rodeo is almost secendary on the "Things to do" list.

10D Crack Champion	Is Randy Bernard still involved with RFDTV and The American? I read he is the President and CEO of RMG Events. RMG Events is owned by the owner of RFDTV. It says RMG Events will be involved with The American. Then I read that Randy Bernard is the CEO of GhostTunes which is where Garth Brook's music will be exculsively be sold for download. How can he do both unless GhostTunes is somehow connected with RMG Events or something? One article said he spent up to 18 hours a day getting ready for the launch of GhostTunes. Man, how can a person work that many hours on that, also be the CEO and Pres of RMG Events while planning The American and all it incudes, any other responsibilites that come with the job, and have a family? That is one busy guy. http://www.omaha.com/money/rfd-tv-rural-media-group-keep-wary-eye-on-mergers/article_bf8bd8e8-2943-11e4-8ee1-0017a43b2370.html http://www.rodeocountryradio.com/q-a-with-randy-bernard-ceo-ghosttunes/ http://www.musicrow.com/2014/09/garth-brooks-debuts-ghosttunes-music-service/ http://www.rodeocountryradio.com/randy-bernard-joins-garth-brooks-at-ghosttunes/

The Color Specialist Posts: 7530 Location: Washington. (The DRY side.)	I haven't read all posts so maybe this had already been asked: If a rider can qualify twice, but it must be on different horses, WHY is it Ok for multiple riders to qualify on the SAME horse?? (Different rider, same horse, different qualifier event)

(Different rider, same horse, different qualifier event) Yeah, I wonder what they will do if they all draw up really close to each other or all make the finals? Poor horse! Or can they change horses now that they are qualified... that doesn't seem right either. Seems like I read one horse qualified 3 different people...don't know if this is who you are talking about...I can't even remember the horse's name or the people's name...

Hugs to You Posts: 7551 Location: In The Land of Cotton	RacingQH - 2014-10-20 9:56 AM I haven't read all posts so maybe this had already been asked: If a rider can qualify twice, but it must be on different horses, WHY is it Ok for multiple riders to qualify on the SAME horse?? (Different rider, same horse, different qualifier event) I saw that too. I am wondering, must they use the same horse that they qualify on? Say rider 1 qualifies on horse A. Rider 2 qualifies on horse A. Rider 3 qualifies on Horse A. So Horse A runs 3 times - or do all three riders ride a horse other then horse A. I am thinking that is the way it is - you qualify on who you want, but run in the end on who you want, which doesn't necessarily have to be Horse A. Understand?
