Possibly Stupid Question
Post by TinyMuffin »
I'm sorry but I'm new to this game and can't find the answer anywhere (or overlooked it), what is a purse in competitions? Again, I'm sorry if this is a very simple question

In simplest forms, a purse in competitions refers to the total amount of money dedicated to being paid out to the top finishers of a particular race. Oh yes! And welcome to HWO!

I agree with what's been said. A purse is basically the total amount of money that will be divided between the top 5 winners of, say, a race.
If you ever need any thoroughbreds, let me know!
Once again, welcome!!

Relatedly, is there a limit on how many people can enter a competition? I've seen numbers between 1 and hundreds, and I can't make sense of it.

Competitions that allow a single account to enter more than one horse are entirely unlimited. But competitions that allow only one horse per account are limited to 'two competition accounts'. Which means that if more than two horses are entered into the same competition from multiple accounts owned by one person, that person could theoretically have all of their accounts banned (this has already happened in the past, a couple times).
For the rules on multiple accounts, please look here:

Competition entry explained by admin (see 'Tom's post):

And also, the competition entry limits (see the 'Rolling Disciplines' section specifically):
