Jane, it is confusing. Trust me it will be just fine. It is like anything that someone is not used to, but it is very easy to understand once you have seen it work. Do you watch nascar or baseball & football playoffs. It is just like that. C stands for the Chase for the Race lots. The top 15 finishers with a combination of Animals sold and purchased will automatically be in the sale next year in each cataogory. Each of the Elite (4Lots), Premier (4Lots), and Chase (4Lots) will be given an automatic invitation to return next year. Some will move up to the next category and some will fall back a category. I feel once everyone sees the format at work they will like it. We feel that this will take out any buddy system and be based solely on the numbers. If it is based solely on the numbers no games can be played and the farm that is willing to make a sacrifice and step up will be rewarded for the future year(s). We will all have fun seeing this system work this year and we will all have a better understanding for the next coming years. Thanks for your comments and concerns and we look forward to seeing you all at the 2010 Midwest Select, North American Whitetail Breeder Finals
