The above figures are based on a minimum of 300 pigeons paid and entered before hot spot 1. The full list of prize monies will be published after all the entries have been paid before hot spot 1. All teams not fully paid for by 17 November 2020 will be removed from the loft and will not be allowed to take any further part in the summer races. In other words all remaining pigeons in a team of 4 must be activated before hot spot 1 for the team to take any further part in the summer series. You may enter fewer than 4 pigeons per team if you wish to do so, at the same cost or R3,200 each.
After the 6 race series, all pigeons will be auctioned; breeder gets 50% of selling price net of costs. If a pigeon is sold for less than R801 all will be offset against costs with no kickback to the breeder.
Entrants must supply a pedigree or some other form of information on strain/performances of the family of the pigeon in order to qualify for this kickback.
