And they're off!

Welcome all! this coming weekend (July, 31- Aug, 2) I will be hosting a series of horse racing events! There will be two races each day and at the end of the 3 day period the person with the most points will win a VERY special prize! :megaeek:

Each race will consist of five laps in which the people that place first,second, and third will be awarded points. First place will award 15 points, second place 10 points and third place 5 points. At the end of the series the points will be added up deciding a winner!

The prizes will not be mentioned until the day of race when they are awarded to the winners. Though I can say they are definitely more than just an Event Coin.

Now what are you all waiting for? Close this window and get to training those Thoroughbreds! They need to be in tip top condition!

Horses don't slow down when they enter the green terrain so it's pretty much who can get in the lead first (Bumping into horses slows you back down like in karts, so it's all about that luck part/where you start off) and who can cut the most green terrain and get away with it. Not trying to say it's a bad event, because I respect the fact that you're actually trying something new and big like this, but it's not well played.
