The NBL rakes in plenty of money. Do not let the not for profit fool you. It just means the books have to be clear at the end of the year, I.E. all the money has to go out the door (payroll) and there can be none left at the end of the year in the account or it shows they made a profit.
I think they have a new Windows based software app as the past two nationals have had the results up on Monday morning. I just do not think it has been distributed yet.
ABA guys are great people (Although I like busting their balls here and there 😆 ).
Clayton was running the registration at the NC national last year and I spoke to him for a bit. Nice guy. Enjoyed talking to the ABA folk at Rockford also last year.
This is their job, the way they support their families and pay the bills.
The NBL relies on volunteers at the nationals yet the ABA staffs the nationals with trained professionals. But they both cost the same to race.
The ABA has the big racing rig and the NBL has the 5th wheel trailer.
The NBL has more riders at its Grands than the ABA does.
Not faulting anyone, they just have different ways of doing things.
