Cactus Ropes TRSim World Championsips 2003

Many have asked for it, some have hoped for it, others have wondered if it could ever happen.  Well, it’s here!  RopingArena.com will be hosting the Cactus Ropes TRSim World Championships December 21-31.   Awards will be World Champion Montana Silversmith buckles to the winners and top Cactus Ropes prize line to top finishers.  Over $1,800 in Trophy prize awards.  There will be three separate events, each with the same prizes.  Click here to get the details.  Results will be posted in Spin To Win magazine.

 

This will all take place online from the comfort of your own home.  Each roping will be “enter once” and there will be 28 different prize winning positions.  So the odds of winning are good.  To give everyone a chance at seeing the new arena, there will be a Preview Event December 17-19.  This will be at Level 1 to give everyone a fair feel for the arena and the chance to download and practice on your own.  Watch out for the longer score in the short arena. 

 

You will be required to download and install the new version of TRSim Bonus (explained below) to be able to compete.  This is still a free download.

 

New Version of TRSim Bonus

The new version uploads Instant Replays of leading runs and provides viewing of the leading runs.  It also allows you to save and view Instant Replays of your own practice runs.  Even if you won’t be competing in the World Championships, not sure why you wouldn’t, you will still want to install the new version to be able to view winning runs.  Click here to install now.

 

Upcoming Changes at RopingArena.com

Exciting things are happening.  We have been noticing that the events where prizes are given get the greatest response.  The redeem-points-for-merchandise feature was not as popular and also required us to manage Entry Credits, Points, and Redemptions by Sponsor.   This just added confusion to you the player.  Starting January 1, all Entry Credits and Points will be rolled into the RopingArena.com sponsor.  Actually, you won’t have to worry about Sponsor anymore.

 

Another exciting feature, which will be available January 1, is the ability to purchase Entry Subscriptions versus purchasing individual Entry Credits.  The Entry Credits will still work and will still be a way for players to purchase just enough to get in select Events.  But the Subscription purchases will allow players to play virtually unlimited while their subscription is still current.  Entry Subscriptions will be sold in different packages starting at one month up to a full year.  This will be very popular since you will not longer have to think about which events to enter.  You can now enter them all.  Occasional, very large, prize events such as the World Championships may require Entry Credits only.  But those will be seldom.

 

We will also be offering more Prize Events throughout the year.  Each month we will target at least 8 prize events during the month.  The Top Player standings will continue as they are now.  We will certainly be planning for an even bigger year-end World Championships next year.
