This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: BAKERSFIELD 2009

[Vincent Carrocci]

Not much information on the website (not the Wiki) for this event except to say that it is IBCA sanctioned and not KCBS sanctioned.

[Tim Hoffman]

Thom said it would be KCBS,well maybe it will be both

[Robert Diaz]

The website also says it's IBCA sanctioned. Only our wiki shows it's KCBS.

[Darry Smith]

Their website is in the process of being changed.

This contest will be KCBS.

If you all need any help with "ANYTHING", let me know.
I possibly could help out being that I live here in Bakersfield.
I don't think I will be ready to compete, but would be willing to help out in any way i can.

Do we have a payout schedule for this event yet?

[Thom Emery]

Yes he sent it in to KCBS
It would be similar to what we did at Hesperia

This contest is less than two weeks away and I don't see a published payout schedule on the Wiki page or on the official event website. If the payout schedule was submitted to KCBS at the time sanctioning was requested, why wasn't it published after sanctioning was approved? Not publishing payout schedules is becoming a very unwelcome trend at contests and one that should be stopped immediately. Put the numbers up and let the teams know what they're competing for.

I agree,that is one of the worst thing promoters can do.Is there a rule with KCBS that if an event is sanctioned that they have to post prize money ands payouts ?

Fellow Q'rs,
I will apologize for the lack of information. Thsi is our first event and we are stoking through it. I will update our page in the next few minutes. If you have any questions please contact me directly: mikegeorge@agapemgco.com. I will post the pay out shortly. Thank you for your patience. Mike

[Dave Malone]

The KCBS website states a 2250.00 cash prize payout. I hope this is incorrect and it should be 3250.00 plus 250.00 for awards to make 3500.00 that Thom had mentioned earlier.
