[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 3803346, member: 4681"] Protected from what? Spread the prize money further?Well thats not on, all it would do is reward the mediocre, and so lower the standard. There are very few matches without a world style class, and even then world style ploughs are allowed in the two furrow mounted class.( where, they are often defeated by the smaller, vintage ploughs.) Cost is another red herring, just look around at any match, and you will see nice polished 4x4 vehicles, with a shiny trailer, carrying a fergy! Then the driver will tell you that he is in that class because its cheap! In most cases, that outfit will have cost more than my tractor, plough, and truck put together. And cost more to run! Entry fees go to help finance the match, not just a popular part of it, and all competitors should aspire to getting to the world match, and winning it, not just becoming a big fish, in a small pond. That being the case, prizes should be restricted to the first three or four, if only to "encourage the others". [/QUOTE]
