10D Crack Champion	SKM - 2015-10-29 7:17 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. You are probably right. They can't set a limit of less than 36.

10D Crack Champion	barrelracr131 - 2015-10-29 12:10 PM It says the rodeo can't have LIMITS less than 36 for an event... it doesn't say there needs to be 36 people that actually show up Yes it was pointed out on the first page of the thread. Just a mistake of scanning bright and early this morning before work. Sorry to cause such an uproar.

10D Crack Champion	Can't wait to find out where their 15 tour rodeos will be. Wish they would have just made all their announcements and plans at once. Maybe this little by little is a way to bring more sponsors on and gather more attention.

They can't set a limit of less than 36. At first I read it as 36 contestants pet event too. But that sounded just stupid because of the bull riding so I looked at it closer. A lot of people are making the same mistake. They don't have it worded very well.

But, it is driving me up a friggin wall. It seems like they make decisions one at a time and I personally think it looks REALLY unprofessional and FAR from elite.

They dont limit entries and they add enough money...I think...I cant remember exactly how much

I think they did get the PRCA to sanction it a couple of time, but it's usually just an open rodeo - just like Capitan. It's not part of any association - it just happens to be on the reservation.

The RCA (Real Cowboys Association) are open to all, and they are a BLAST!

I just called it an Indian rodeo because it was on the reservation...but you are right...hmm...I havent ever been to any black rodeos or gay rodeos. I heard they are open though....I dont know where they are or I would definitely take a horse and season at them.

Boot Detective Posts: 1900	NJJ, you just opened another can of worms. Someone could have a "Smith" family reunion rodeo and only allow family to enter. LOL. I just think this new organization is either very poorly thought out, as if they really don't have a plan, or they did a hell of a job of getting the state of Texas to give them a huge amount of money that they are carefully putting in their own pockets. Several years ago some of the top tier people in the PRCA tried to get a new tour system in place that would practically guarantee the same people go to the NFR year after year. IMO, this new organization is set up to do just that.
