ROAR has nothing to do with event sponsorships and therefore we can not and do not give sponsors entry spots.

Also to think that a host should provide so many free spots for their sponsor dollars is wrong. If company A is spending $2500 as a sponsor of the event and they get say 5 free entries why call it a $2500 sponsorship. Call it what it is a $2100 sponsorship with 5 paid entries of $80 dollars each.
I didn't say free entries to the race. More like guaranteed spots for their team members.
