You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	so, question #2- so these top 10 get to run for all that big money.. how will the other people compete to make the roster for 2017? How easy or difficult will it be to displace anyone on the tour?

BHW Resident Surgeon Posts: 25352 Location: Bastrop, Texas	As an outsider looking in without a dog in this fight, I applaud the willingness of these people to try something different and think outside the box, and I appreciate their willingness to take the risks to get this off the ground. This could end up being a huge step in the right direction for professional rodeo. It's easy to be critical of this new organization in a number of ways. In some cases, it's simply a matter of envy and jealousy, and in other cases it's people's disapproval or questioning of the "selection" of members. In 1960 a similar venture was undertaken, and it was called the American Football League. Obviously it was on a much larger scale, but the basic concept was in some ways similar. The NFL and many of the fans mocked and criticized the effort. By the end of the decade, the ragtag AFL had demonstrated parity. Now we have the biggest sporting event on earth, called the "Super Bowl" which was a direct result of that effort and willingness to invest and take risks. I'm going to sit back and enjoy watching this evolve and I appreciate the effort of people to take some risks, with the hopes that this spectator sport will be vaulted to a higher level.

Party Girl Posts: 12293 Location: Buffalo, Wyoming	RunninOnARooster - 2015-10-22 4:15 PM So does this mean the ladies on this list won't be running for the NFR next year? Not sure if there has been any updates as far as the WPRA is concerned with its "conflicting associations" I am not sure how it will work for the WPRA. As far the the PRCA, if anyone is a shareholder they cannot ride at a PRCA event for a certain amount of time after they had competed at an ERA event. Therefore I would think every roughstock rider and mens timed event will not be making a run for the NFR>.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 561 Location: somewhere in the south	How could Mary Walker not have been in the "pick"??? She is a top "Elite" athlete and much more qualified than Chayni. I like Chayni but let's put the real out there and say what we all know.............the horse is automatic and yes, she's riding but the horse is the talent there! I'd much rather see Mary Walker.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 561 Location: somewhere in the south	Now that someone has said that riders have to choose between the WPRA and the ERA I guess I wouldn't want to be restricted either. So maybe that's why several of the big riders and other contestants aren't in the ERA....................

Saint Stacey	All of the girls on that list have a huge fan base and don't have the up front drama that other top girls do. While one could argue Fallon because of previous business ethics, she has made herself EXTREMELY accessible to the general public and the young fans LOVE her. She is always smiling, signing autographs and taking pictures. She is by far the most approachable World Champion of all times, and that includes all the other events. I am not a Fallon fan. But she really has been a positive spokesperson for the sport.

It's the PRCA that added new by laws stating that you couldn't be an officer, board member or have a financial interest in a competing association if you wanted a PRCA membership.

The Original Cyber Bartender Location: Washington	Without knowing how this going to work how does one become a fan. Seriously this is putting the cart before the horse. I guess they will make they rules as they go along? People are asking the questions just not getting any answers.

Expert Posts: 1446 Location: California	sodapop - 2015-10-21 7:24 PM grinandbareit - 2015-10-21 9:10 PM Well... that did it for me. I'm happy for Chayni, but that just took it out of "professional" for me. I don't think that kids should be allowed in... not that my opinion matters two doodles! LOL Charmayne won I think 5 of her World Championships between the ages of 14-18 back when there was no age limit. If there had been an age limit, she would not likely be an 11 time world champion just based on the age Scamper came into her life. So of course, she is going to be open to all ages being allowed to compete. Fallon Taylor qualified for the NFR under the age of 18 before the age limit rule. I do think Angie Meadors had a qualification or even 2 under the age of 18 before the age limit change. Could be wrong about Angie, but for some reason I feel like she had at least one qualification under 18. But I also saw Charmayne on her personal FB tearing apart PRCA/WPRA and their "top professional" athletes, that they were in fact not elite enough. . . So to build a new organization while calling out the one that made you famous, and then listing your accomplishments from the organization she doesn't deem "elite enough" well then maybe she needs more futurity, derby, etc accomplishments before her input is allowed. Sorry but watching her tear is apart wpra/prca apart ruined my support for her.

10D Crack Champion	ozcancrasher13 - 2015-10-23 2:19 PM Anyone remember the Team Rodeos? Do you mean like the Tulsa Twisters? Contestants competed side by side in timed events. There were 5 barrels in the arena........ 3 barrels (1 left side of arena, 1 middle of the arena, 1 right side of the arena..... then 2 barrels on down) The middle barrel was turned by both contestants. For one it was her first barrel and for the other it was the second barrel. If this is the team rodeos you mean, then yes I remember. They were fun to watch. It was called Major League Rodeo. Here are a few articles about it or some of the contestants at the time. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=886&dat=19780627&id=LMNSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FIEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2894,3144646&hl=en https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1917&dat=19780401&id=DO4wAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2eAFAAAAIBAJ&pg=988,698044&hl=en https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1978/07/08/major-league-rodeo-is-trying-to-make-a-point/e5d7956c-95dd-44f2-a5ae-37d391855b71/ http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20071858,00.html https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19780620&id=_xxVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YIADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6927,5380655&hl=en Edited by sodapop 2015-10-24 11:18 AM
