ONE LOFT RACES ARE POPULAR.  BUT, HANDLERS ARE CHARGING FAR TOO MUCH FOR THE PERCH FEE.  THINK ABOUT IT.  A PERCH FEE IS $150 OR $200.  IF THERE ARE 1000 BIRDS IN THE RACE THAT IS 200 X 1000 = $200,000.  THAT IS $4,000 PER  52 WEEKS.   NOBODY NEEDS THAT KIND OF MONEY TO RUN A ONE LOFT RACE. 
THEN,  IF YOUR BIRD IS LOST OR FAILS TO RETURN FROM THE ACTIVATION TOSS THEY KEEP YOUR PERCH FEE.    WE WILL REFUND YOUR PERCY FEE IF  YOUR BIRD FAILS TO GO /RETURN FROM ACTIVATION TOSS.
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU ARE GOING TO WIN $1,000,000 IN A ONE LOFT RACE?  NOT LIKELY!   NOT EVEN CLOSE!  THE BIRDS RETURN IN GROUPS AND THE PRIZE IS SPLIT.  ARE YOU ENTERING TO DETERMINE HOW WELL YOUR BREEDING IS?  ARE YOU BREEDING BIRDS THAT DO WELL IN ONE LOFT RACES?

WE ARE DOING IT DIFFERENTLY!

WE ARE HAVING A SPRING RACE AND A FALL RACE, MAY AND NOVEMBER.  TWO SEPARATE RACE SERIES.   SEND YOUR BIRDS IN  FEBRUARY AND IN JULY.  EACH SERIES HAS TWO RACES, 250 AND 300 MILE RACES., A WEEK OR  TWO WEEKS APART FROM EACH OTHER.. 

ONLY 500 BIRDS ALLOWED FOR THIS RACE THIS FIRST YEAR.  NO BACKUP BIRDS ALLOWED.  ONLY TWO BIRDS PER BREEDER.  THAT MEAN ONLY 250 OF YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER.  MANY RACES CHARGE HUGH FEES TO ENTER.  THIS RACE ONLY CHARGES $325 TOTAL FOR ONE BIRD, PERCH/ENTRY FEES.
IF WE HAVE 500 BIRDS ENTERED WE WILL HAVE $100,000 PRIZE MONEY TO BE DIVIDED AMOUNT THE WINNERS.  THAT WILL BE A NICE PAY CHECK FOR THE BREEDERS.  WE WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT  20% OF EACH RACE WINS MONEY.  EXAMPLE:  IF 500 BIRDS GO TO THE RACE, 100 OF THEM WILL,  AT THE MINIMUM,  GET THEIR ENTRY FEE  RETURNED.
WE WANT TO HAVE FUN BUT, WE WANT EACH OF THE BREEDERS TO HAVE A CHANGE TO WIN SOME MONEY PLUS SEE HOW THEIR BIRDS PREVAIL IN A ONE LOFT RACE.
THE BREEDER WILL SELECT A COMMITTEE OF FIVE AMONG THEMSELVES TO DETERMINE DISPUTES.   NOBODY DOES THIS EXCEPT CD.OLR.
