Subject: World Cup Event

First World Cup snag! Teams are in small uproar b/c they all need to switch the rowels on their spurs to the Brazilian standards.


IMO...this is crazy. they should have known about this a long time ago so the guys could have been practicing.

Sounds to me like Brazil was trying to gain a little upper hand, in an UNDERHANDED way.

If it was PBR santioned why would the same spurs and rowels that they ride with every week, not be in compliance. And... this coming from Brazil that has been penalized repeatedly in the PBR for illegal spurs and rowels.

And, I do agree, if the spurs were going to be illegal in Brazil, why were they not advised of this way before now.
