why is it that it costs $20 for age and cruiser noms with approx. $100 prize pool per class, and only $25 pro noms with around $1000 prize pool in south qld. seems like we are all getting the short end of the stick to prop up the prize pool for "pro". if you want to ride pro, shouldnt you pay more for noms ??

Pro woman are the ones that get shafted in the money breakdown most times paying same entrie fee as pro men

hey smiley, i totally agree, as for you jungle fever, if there is 30- pro riders or 30- 11 boys, arent the odds the same to make the final, and i am sure each class is trying there hardest to make the final. bigkid- i asked why age and cruiser noms are only $5 cheaper than pro noms but with only 1/10th of the return in prize pool, what are you talking about, its got nothing to do with australia winning medals at the olympics, or bmxq having a state sponsor. why dont sth qld clubs charge $15 noms for age and cruiser and $35 for pro noms.

Rockhampton Open Day $600 prize pool for men and $600 for the ladies. Noms on BMXQ website. Bring your daughter up to race Smiley.
Cheers

I agree with Formula. It needs to be sorted out, esp the pro Women prize pool when entries are the same as pro Men!

ARA Appendix 1 gives guidance on equity for prize money schedule based on the ratio of male : female riders.


The riders I feel for in Vic are A Pro........they have 30+ riders (compared to typically 12 AA men) but get 40% of the AA prize pool.......

A men make a profit in Vic........AA men run at a loss (I've got no problem with that).

Offeriing a min prize pool + payback would be more equitible (but not as glamorous)

                      IS IT GREED ! 

I was talking with my son the other day, and the subject turned to PRO'S. He asked the question "Why are PRO'S so greedy nowadays?" The answer is, of course, that PRO'S in general are no more greedy, violent, generous, or kind now than they were 10, 15, 20, or 40 years ago. They make decisions and respond to incentives the same way they always have. The technologies and the institutions with which they can do their good or bad, however, certainly have changed over time. The ups and downs of BMX had much more to do with the laws and political institutions (BMXA) which affected the incentives for the PRO'S to be productive and responsible than with changes in the nature of the PRO'S themselves.
