I'm In and each stable individually is fair. To be honest I think this contest is going to take awhile but it should be fun to see how it turns out :)

My concern as Nag stated is the length of the contest. Some individual stables don't get 20 wins in a year. I'm a pretty decent player of this game and looking at my stats I've only had a stable get more then 20 wins 3 or 4 times . I'm not looking to have a contest that lasts that long.

I think we need to cap it, but it can't be 2 stables, it has to be 4 or 5 and maybe we drop the prize amount the more stables you use.

Something like XXXX credits to win if you use 1 stable, XXXX - 100 credits for 2 stables, XXXX - 200 credits if you use 3 stables, and so on thru 5 stables.

Thoughts?

When they did this contest in Vermont - it was - win a race at every Sim track in order - track 1 - 88. They also ran one at the same time that you had to win a race at every track but the order didn't matter. It took over a year to do it, might have been two. Most of us gave up after a while but several people played to the end. Anyway - yes it will take awhile.

You could set a time limit - how many tracks can you get a win in 1 month - 3 months - 6 months etc.

I think Roys just hit on a great idea. Pick some number of stables (I'd say 2) and see how many of the NWRC tracks you can get a win on in some set period of time. Something like 3 or 4 months sounds good to me. Anyway, I think that makes it so anyone who wanted to could participate (not limited by number of stables) and you'd know it wouldn't take forever.

Ok, let's wait another week to start this so we can work out details.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I'm in for whatever stables are allowed (I think 4 or 5 sounds good) but if you are able to buy races for this contest than I am not in as I don't buy races-certainly that would give those players a big edge. Let's see what happens? Rich
