Thanks,
We checked it out and it seemed to be working ok. Did you give it another go?
Entry systems can be a little funny, particularly if you use back buttons or do other kookie things. Perhaps you did something out of the ordinary??

All registered. Good to go
We have just passed 260 competitors, which means we're only 40 away from drawing the prize pack, consisting of race accommodation, dinner for 2 and a massage pack.
Interestingly, still not one taker for the Female Elite category. The prize money for Female Elite will go off regardless... so if there's 1 female elite, they'll take the $$$, and then the 2nd and 3rd placed females, regardless of category, will walk away with the other prize money.

So roughly, where does it go
650 riders * [(110 or 80) + (I assume 15 for insurance)]
=A lot + (Moolah from sponsors etc)
Taking out insurance, wages for pro organisers, hiring necesary race day equipment I imagine the promoter is doing quite nicely for themselves?
Just curious, as to why the gap between club races and privately operated races is so significant (I suspect volunteer involvement but there must be more)
thats why your so slow,,,,Listen bud - I'm not the one racing in a pink jersey!

Are you using Bulldog Rd, and if so which way are you going?
Also will Butterfly and Superbowl be used first or are you staying south of the Forest Rd at the start and using Coondoo first?

I doubt it... $65k is not a lot of money.
Clubs can do things cheaper. For starters they don't have insurance costs over and above their existing mtba stuff, they tend to get halls, football fields, forests, roads etc... at reduced cost or free from the community, more volunteers, less requirements for cash prizes, no salary fees, no work cover expenses... should I go on?
Say you have 2 staff (you and someone else) and you pay yourself $50k/year each (avg salary). Super, Taxes, workcover etc... the general rule of thumb is double that, so that's $150-200k/year you need to find just to cover staff. say you do 6 events a year (one every 2 months?), that means from those 6 events you need to find $20-$30k clear cash to pay staff per event.
so go back to your $65k they get from entries. 30k gone in salary costs, $10k gone in cash and prizes, Insurance? maybe $10k? couple of grand to state forests, another couple of grand to RFS and SES for helping out, Firstaid for an event like this is probably $1.5-2k, money seems to be disappearing very quickly here...
While there are quite a few event promotors about, and they all seem to do ok, I havn't met one yet that's rolling around in $100 bills wondering whether to get their porche in blue or white... it's a definite "for the love of the sport" industry I'd suggest. Besides, what's wrong with someone trying to make some money from the industry? I'm sure someone made some money when you bought your bike and you didn't cry home about it...

Cheers Gonz, not crying foul - just curious more than anything
no harm in knowing... I'm about start a commerce+law degree and am trying to familiarise myself a bit with the buisness world - spending the last 12 months as an assistant teacher in Canada hasn't helped me much in that regard (though I have learnt how to live on $125 a week)
