The only way I can see this format would work in the long run would be for there to be prize money for each of the three rounds and a over all winner. So on day three the overall winner may be decided a few racks before the event is over, but they would still want to play it out for the cash that is still on the table for that round. That is how bull riding pays out. Three day events with three daily round winners and an over all winner. That keeps em trying their hardest all the way to the end.

I have been thinking about this on and off for the past few days. There are so many options. In order to have additional bonus money for each set is a good idea but couldn't I just add a bonus to the last day? Just asking. Seems like it would be easier to find an extra $500 in sponsorship that extra $500 each day ($1,500) I would have to talk to the guys and see if they would be ok with splitting the prize fund up to be won per set. as that is not the agreement I have made with them. Well I still have time to figure it out and thanks again for everyones input.

Yes that would make day three good. If you had a blow out the first two days by one player, day three might not even need to be played. So you could have the same thing happen on day two where one guy knows he cannot win. But that would be rare so at least try to make something extra on the the third day. My suggestion is to divide the prize money by three and have a payout everyday and then have a bonus to the overall winner. That keeps every day exciting.

Again, I would have to talk to the players on splitting the money over 3 days as that was not the agreement. Also Like I said its easy to say "I will just add extra money for day 3" But I still have to get that extra money for day three. So if you know anyone that would like to do some sponsorship please feel free to let me know. I am working on all kinds of little additions to make this event as good as I can. Lets see what happens.

Just some quick info, I am amazed at the response I have received from people who are traveling to the event from places like Canada, Washinton and others over 200 miles away. They have contacted me to purchase tickets in advance and at this point we are not selling general admission tickets in advance but in the near future I will be making VIP seats available in advance.The VIP seats will be $50.00 for the weekend and will guarentee a seat and a table for the whole weekend. Once I have all the sponsors commitments I will have a clue as to how many VIP seats will be available. So As I have told the people who have already contacted me I will put you on the list and make sure that I contact you as soon as I know how many seats we have available. So if you have any interest and I know we are a long way away but want to be added to the list please email me at cantrillmark@yahoo.com
Also I am currently working with a hotel across the street for a special rate for out of towners who wish to attend the event. I will make that info known hopefully by the end of tomorrow also. just a quick update and I hope to have some great news to share soon also for Pay per view fans.
