Competition Question

[Ocean Jasper]

Hello,

I'm sorry to be dense, but I'm not quite sure how the competitions are set up. Would you tell me if I've got it right...? I have read that a competition must have at least five entries in order to run. But it seems to be set up to run in three days from the time it's created (that date is posted on the competition). So results will be posted on the third day as long as five horses or ponies have entered?

Earlier today I was working through quests for the tutorial, which walked me through setting up a competition. I now have ten entries! But I suppose we all need to wait for the third day for the competition to run.

Please let me know if I've understood correctly -- and if not, please set me straight!

Thank you,
Ocean Jasper

Yes, it takes five horses for a competition to run, and will run on the day posted when five entries are achieved.

Competitions will run early, if you get twenty or more horses (competitions seem to run in batches, every five minutes or so... so if they don't run 'on time', just give it a couple more minutes).

You've got it right so far!
Congratulations!
And welcome, and enjoy!
