5. If I’m a producer – how do I get my show added to the power barrels schedule and what is the criteria? The best way is to contact Kris for availability and details at (319) 392-8176 or powerbarrels@hotmail.com.
6. What if the arenas are different sizes/conditions that doesn’t seem like it would be fair? You are absolutely right that would not be fair to compare times. That is not what it does. It is not based on "times" it is based on your overall placing at the jackpot you are at EACH DAY competing against others who entered the sidepot at that jackpot. It is taken back to POINTS and the HI POINT winner from the weekend (overall) will ultimately be the power barrels cash winner. Any ties will be handled by splitting funds.
