Congrats winners!

:lol: That was fun!
It seemed to work well. It's a long contest, but considering the type it is, I think it progressed relatively smoothly. Are there any changes to be made? Considering this is the first run, what didn't work right, if anything?

I'm curious to hear input of any of the other competitors as well... if there will be regular futurities in the future, held by Tenacious Equine or another member of our community, the pitfalls can better be avoided.
I personally think the biggest problem was the competitions. If I can somehow streamline that some more (maybe have them set up a month in advance? Maybe have additional comps set up to run daily so people don’t have to worry about comping in time?) it would work better. Other than that, I think everything got done around the time I planned, it’d just be important to have things ready in advance :’)

I am VERY open to the idea of having someone else host the next one.

Upgraded accounts then, would be most important.
If there was heavy interest, comps could be set up to run monthly... or maybe every four months? Hmm... At least the required entry competitions.
We have the ability for daily, every other day, weekly and monthly.

I think, if you don't mind, during my next community reminder, I'll add this information to the New Developments section. It'll be interesting to see if there are other that want to try their hand at hosting futurities. In the future, I'd like to host one myself, but in the near future, I have some real-life things that'll be happening and will be taking up valuable time... for the next 6 months or so.

That sounds like a good idea! :)

I saw your conversation with BlackOak. Personally, I would love to host an event like this...but with a bit of a twist. I would like to see if I can host one with Racing, Steeplechase, and Endurance. I would run it similar to this.

For sure! Be sure to give both of us credit for the idea :D I’d definitely be willing to help set up competitions if needed!
