As the promotor the cost of the building and our expenses are propriety information. I can say that we discussed placques vs. payback and the general concensus from our club and 2 other promotors who put pulls on in the area was placques as opposed to payback, so we went with placques. It would appear that you want both a trophy/placque and a payback, or do you only want a payback? All our advertising, including that in THE HOOK Magazine stated that we were giving out trophies for the first 5 places in each class, so being awarded a trophy/placque should have come as no surprise. Never was there a mention of a "PAYBACK". This was our first national pull and we have learned a lot from it. I noticed that Wichita gave out placques and no one mentioned paybacks after their pull, I am not sure what Columbia did. And from your other messages it appears that you have been to both Columbia and Wichita, yet you did not mention payback at their pulls as opposed to placques. I am sorry you were looking for payback money after traveling 600 miles, but I am sure this was not your first "rodeo" and I am sure it will not be your last. I will take your comment to our meeting and discuss it with the other members. I have no idea what they will decide for next year, but I hope whatever is decided will not hinder you from coming to another pull in Carthage. Have a Great Day and Happy Pulling.
