I beg to differ the races put on by Veloshop which paid six deep for elites

offered even the fourth place riders who worked hard the opportunity to cash

in. Those who were unaware were pleasantly surprised by recieving cash and

sixth place was able to recoup entry and a couple of bucks for gas.

I have been pounding on the 100% payout program so I should clarify how

this works. OBRA needs to standardize the payout structure and the

promoters need to stick to it...



For example 100% payout for top 25%.



12 guys show up and pay $30 each for entry fees ($360)



This is divided among the top 3 (25%) in the category. So maybe $180 for

1st place, $110 for second place and $70 for third place.



The breakdown and depth % should be determined and writted into the OBRA

rules. That way everyone always knows exactly what to expect.



The Intermountain Cup in Utah does something similar to this and it

works great. The payout schedule is always listed in their race handbook

(also a good idea). For the record they happen to be the best run

races/series I have EVER attended--anywhere.



See their website www.intermountaincup.com to learn more about it!



Thanks for listening.
