Competition judgement

Post by Sunpath »

I have 2 questions regarding the judgement of competitions.

1. When I enter a horse, is it the horse's shape and training at the moment of entry that is judged, or at the moment of the competition running?

2. If I enter a horse in a competition and it dies before the competition runs, will the horse still be judged as participating in the competition or will the entry and entry fee go up in smoke?

Good questions I would love to know too. :)

I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure that for question 1 its at the time of entry and for question 2 that's also not the case (though I am basing this on selling horses rather than them passing on...)

Exactly. I have sold horses that have later won fortunes or gotten world records and I have gotten the prize money and a notification that my horse has broken a world record. This has been when I have entered the horse before I sold it.

Similarly a Rehomed Horse can win a competition. It's the status at entry which matters.

Competitions are judged at the time of entry. As such, points and titles can be awarded to a horse that has died or aged out, and points and earnings are awarded to the player who owned the horse at entry.

Thank you!

I was thinking I couldn't restart my day because it would mean my stallion would be aged out of the competition I'd entered him into.

so glad that's not the case!
