Was thinking maybe we could have a "secret santa" race with another residency or two as well.
** Adjusted rules and dates based on the new game. Let me know if you see any discrepancies **
It's time for NWRC's "original" 5th Annual Secret Santa contest.
If you'd like to be a part of the Secret Santa contest, please post your name and the stable you'd like the horse transferred to by Noon on Sunday, Dec 9th.
NEW ADDITION: (Same as we did last year)
In addition to the normal format, I am adding a bonus (contest) to these horses. Additional credits will be earned over a 6-month period. Until June 30th, the horse earning the most points will receive an additional 250 credits + the breeder of that horse will receive 250 credits. This gives a little extra incentive to breed a good horse, while really having to do no extra work.
Scoring Format will be as follows (finishes): 1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 3 pts, 3rd = 1 pt. Extra +2 pts for Stakes winners.
I will update standings periodically and also try to sponsor a race or two.
The rest of the rules/dates are below:
Dec 9th Midnight (game time)
Signup deadline. Each participant will be giving and receiving a horse.
Dec 9th thru Dec 16th
Each participant breeds a 2yo horse before Dec 17th worth 500 (+/- 50) credits/bps with NO restrictions. Please Private Message once you have breed this horse so that I can make sure all signups are doing their x-mas shopping so to speak. But DO NOT give me any details related to the horse.
Dec 17th/18th
I will randomly select names for each Secret Santa participant to send their gift to. I will send you a private message with the stable (and person's name).
Dec 24th-26th
Since new the game has "real-time" transferring, I will give a 3 day window to transfer to the assigned stable. Please PM me once the horse has been transferred. If you are away for the Holidays just let me know and we can work out a transfer time.
Dec 24th-26th
Open your gift!! Your Secret Santa gift should have arrived in your stable.
Jan 12th/13th
The NWRC will sponsor 1 or 2 races (male & female or mixed) depending how many participants we have where everyone can race their gift.
Make sure the stables you are breeding to and also receiving the gift in have open slots, else your gift may be returned to sender, lol.
