Proposed Event: Friday Horse Races
Proposed Scheduling: Every Friday at 9pm, EST.
Proposed Duration: 20 to 30 minutes
Calendar
To Be Announced
Every week we will hold a horse race between two locations in Middle Earth, primarily using normal speed riding steeds. A single judge will initiate each race, monitor riders, and watch the finish line. If participation allows, we will hold more elaborate races including those with war steeds and obstacle courses.
All riders must use the designated steed type--riding 162%, riding 168%, or warsteed. Riders may not use any enhancement that increases mount speed and thereby affords an unfair advantage. Riders may not use instant travel skills or otherwise skip portions of the race course. A head judge will join all riders in a single group for purposes of monitoring progress and enhancements. The head judge will initiate the race and adjudicate false starts, then rapidly travel to the finish line and declare the race winner. Races with sufficient participation will honor second and third place riders.
Each race will award some prize to the winner, such prize to be determined.
Possible Race Courses
Prancing Pony to Kin House
Prancing Pony to Thorin's Gate
Michael Delving to Prancing Pony
Prancing Pony to The Last Homely House
