If you don't have 5, you play your best "cards".

It should even itself out over the duration of the contest. I tend to shy away from letting people use any stable, because some residents only have a small handful and it wouldn't be fair against someone with 12 or whatever.

Some weeks you'll have more than 5, sometimes not.

Should I add a 3rd stable? Most have at least 3 stables.

Should I open it to any track?

I haven't had a lot of time to check this out but it seems as if having to get 5 entries from 2 barns running at NWRC tracks is too limited. How about everyone enter 3 barns (must be NWRC resident barns) and run at any track. With those conditions in mind I don't think trainers should be able to buy races for this contest. Makes it tooo easy and people that dont buy races wouldn't really have a chance. Just a few thoughts. Rich

what about if a person can not find a team mate and has only 1 stable?

My self I could use both my stables.

I say go w/ 3 stables. 2 is too few to make a good "hand". :)

:idea: What are the chances of getting some of the players with only two stables to go together as a team of three stables and those with more than two or three stables to go on there own...

Just a thought

I'm fine with solo or team participation. The only reason I did solo entrant is to get the numbers up.

If we had 10 members play and we did teams, in effect we only have 5 entries. But if it meant someone playing vs not playing, i'm ok with someone partnering. But the team would have to decide how to split the credits. Does the person with 2 stables get 66% of the winnings? The answer is probably yes, but it's just a point to be made.

I'm in but prefer NWRC races only to make it a little more difficult to get 5 aces ;)
