Controversy in prizes

Since we published the final list of prizes, we have received different opinions, two of them being the most repetitive.

We put here the twoo questions:

1.- Why the value of the prizes, no go up even more you?
Ask that coming from participants with pigeons in race.

2.- Why it has increased the amount of awards?
Ask that coming from participants that not now have pigeons in race.

We have carefully analyzed the two positions and each has its reason.

The firsts by that see little prize for editing, which undoubtedly is the most unusual of the seven held and which hopefully will never more be repeated.
The seconds that for reasons unrelated to the quality of their pigeons, they now not have the option of win.

The other day say us "Whatever we do, it will never be liked by all" to right or wrong this is so.

We recall that the awards published are over the provisions of the basis of the Race Fuego, that unfortunately and  by reasons known, be the race that will be held next October 3.

Well, this time we have found a Solomonic decision, which please to all parties involved:

1.- Those who have not said anything (mostly)
2.- Those which have notified us that by an unexplained year, we continue to have to them
3.- Those who are in favor of raising the prizes
4.- Those now they no have pigeons
5.- Those who have sent other opinions and finally
6.- The organization (the more interested on satisfying of all)

In 1 or 2 days we will publish the details of our decision, we can only anticipate that we will spend a minimum of € 3,000 in fixed prizes.

Thanks for you time

Update flights

In the flight previous, two pigeons came touched by predatory bird and missed 5 of 198 released, 4 were of recovered from other flights and 1 that always traveled all right. Thus, we describe the flight as good. 

Observe that is being frequent that each week some  pigeon lack, it is because there are attacks of raptors around of loft. 

Tomorrow the weather can be complicated, so do not rule postpone the flight if necessary.

This week there are no pigeons wounds, the 02010702 was the end sacrificed.

What is next?


I would first like to report that on the last race, unlike other races of this year, the pigeons that came on the third day looked very bad, so they have flown a lot. The proportion of injured pigeons is very high this year.

From the heart, I say that this year is very much going wrong, much more than you can imagine.

I've spent the last few nights without sleep much time, again and again I think about what happened and am very disappointed with the results, but I am convinced that it is completely independent of the shape of the pigeons and quality. I affirm again the pigeons this year have the best of health conditions.

I want to let you know, everything we do or decide, is for the benefit of the pigeon.

Since many participants have already booked a ticket and a hotel room for the final, we do not want you to visit an empty loft.

There are changes and new decisions have been made​​. Not all decisions can be right for everyone, to the pigeon sport is far too multifaceted.

1. Deletion of the Race Diablo (500 Km) and of course the activation of 40 € per pigeon.

2. Change the race plan, and the finale of the race Fuego to put on the 3rd of October.

 05/09/14 - 25 Km
 09/09/14 - 50 Km  
 16/09/14 - 100  Km
 23/09/14 - 200 Km
 03/10/14 - 330 Km Finale

3. prize money / award distribution::
              As Pigeon, Team Championship, As-Team-Speed on the races of 
              Guarromán, Consolación, 200 and 330 Km.

 -We think, thus we give the stragglers time to recover and then continue to participate in the race

In the next few days the website will be updated in the race plan and the prize money.

We welcome your suggestions and opinions and want to encourage you to continue your opinion, the criticism is a great value. We consider criticism as a tool for improvement.

In the hope that these measures will be well received, otherwise a sincere apology.

With best regards
Rafael Ruz, Organizer
