For the first time, NRL Club members will have the opportunity to decide how to spend the winnings from two club membership races, with a prize pool of $400,000. There will be two Club Member Races based on attracting the most new members from the start of the race to the end of the race. There will be a total prize pool of $200,000 across each race, consisting of $100,000 in cash and $100,000 in advertising grants. Click here to read the full article at NRL.com
I don't understand how the 'race start' equates to the number of members.> To me it looks like the NRL has given the Boncos a huge start. No surprise there, I suppose. Rabbitohs - Race starting point: 25,832 (2013 Numbers 27,392) Broncos - Race starting point: 18,704 (2013 Numbers 26,140) Dragons - Race starting point: 14,741 (2013 Numbers 19,748) Knights - Race starting point: 14,300 (2013 Numbers 16,506) Eels - Race starting point: 12,957 (2013 Numbers 17,162) Bulldogs - Race starting point: 12,319 (2013 Numbers 15,508) Storm - Race starting point: 11,172 (2013 Numbers 15,020) Roosters - Race starting point: 11,582 (2013 Numbers 13,842) Cowboys - Race starting point: 10,352 (2013 Numbers 10,991) Sea Eagles - Race starting point: 9,352 (2013 Numbers 11,006) Panthers - Race starting point: 7,806 (2013 Numbers 6,143) Warriors - Race starting point: 6,013 (2013 Numbers 10,386) Sharks - Race starting point: 6,273 (2013 Numbers 7,589) Titans - Race starting point: 7,068 (2013 Numbers 10,319) Wests Tigers - Race starting point: 5,790 (2013 Numbers 11,660) Raiders - Race starting point: 6,300 (2013 Numbers 8,898)
I just took it that the race start figures were the amount of members each club had already signed up so far at the time that the competition started.
