POWER BARRELS – ALLOWS CONTESTANTS TO COMPETE ACROSS TH COUNTRY SIMULATENOUSLY!

 

GREENFIELD, IA AUG 3, 2008

Barrel racers across the country are invited to come together to compete against each other simultaneously through the newly announced POWER BARRELS sidepot. Beginning in September, 2008, weekend producers will join together (minimum of 3 events per weekend) to create a purse with at least $600 added offered to barrel racers competing at 3 events held simultaneously across the country. Contestants wishing to enter the POWER BARRELS sidepot, at each nationwide event, will pay an additional $20 entry fee per horse/rider for the weekend. Points will be awarded at EACH of the 3 shows based on their placing at their location, EACH day. Points are based on a 5D (1/2 sec split) beginning with the fastest time each day. At the end of the weekend, points from EACH day, at EACH location are combined, and the cumulative hi-point winners from across the country are placed and the POWER BARRELS sidepot is paid out.

Power Barrels promoter, Renea Bolling explains, “By assigning points to Power Barrels entrants based on their placing at each respective event, we can create one big barrel racing jackpot on an equal playing field, on a nationwide basis that benefits everyone. ”Event producers from Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado to name a few are planning to add the Power Barrels sidepot at their events within the year. As dates/locations are confirmed they will be added to the schedule.

 

GOAL: Our goal is to create a fun, large jackpot and give barrel racers a chance to compete against contestants all-across the country, competing at the same time, at different locations while conserving their travel funds. Ultimately the goal is to create a sidepot that pays just as good, or better than the location the contestant is competing at without spending additional funds on fuel. Bringing barrel racers and producers together across the country to compete for better payoffs can benefit everyone!

 

Power Barrels is currently looking to work with 2 day event producers across the country to join up with simulatenous events (minimum of 300 mile radius) over 2 days to add to our Power Barrels schedule. Power Barrels will advertise your event on our website as well as upcoming scheduled nationwide advertising at no additional charge. If you are interested in adding a Power Barrels sidepot to your event contact Renea Bolling 641-743-8223.
