The Claimapalooza Contest

Post by Sten Rino Haakonsen »

as I read about the claimers of the past I thought why not make this a contest nd see who the best claimer of toay is so here is how this will work

All Players Get one week to claim 6 horses for a maximum amount of 5 k per horse
I will also allow for claimers already in your barn as long as you have claimed it for 5k or less at some point
If your horse is then entered in a claimer and get claimed then this horse will still count towards your point total as it will only need to be in your barn when you enter it


The Points will be dealt out for a top 3 finish and the higher the grade of the race the more points you will get but this I will get back to when I start the contest at the beginning of net season

For now I mainly want to see how many is interested in joining so please put your name down below so that I know how many are inerested

I'll give it a whirl. So I have to claim six horses for a maximum of $5k each? I can also enter my own claimers?

I have claimers that I've bred (they've never been claimed); are they eligible?

I'd probably be in, but one thing stands out to me: do you think it'd be necessary to put some restriction on sponsored races or heavily restricted races (i.e. Trial Park) for points earning? I doubt anyone would try to game the system like this, but it would be way easy to get points by claiming things bred in like Alaska or Turkey or whatever and sponsoring races for them.

I agree, these heavily restricted races should be off limits.

sorry Dawn I did not see your message before now and no they would not be eligible as the whole point is that they have been claimed
They can be freaks if they want but you have to have claimed them at some point
