Competition Updates


New updates and bug fixes to competitions

We've updated a few small things with competitions.

Prize Money and points
Competitions will now award prize money and points to 5th place. Previously the awards were only handed out to 4th place.

Added Purses on Recurring Competitions
Added purses on recurring competitions have been corrected.

Points-Per-Start Level Definitions
The game will now calculate daily the points-per-start range for each level of each discipline. The points-per-start range determines what level each horse should be competing at. Its calculated by looking at the competitive population of each discipline to determine who are the best horses and putting them at the highest levels. This means your beginner horses or those who aren't as good still have a chance to win. This calculation has a cap on how much it can change from day to day so there are no spikes or valleys causing your horse to jump around from one level to another. However since this is a new change you'll probably see your good horses gradually move to their proper levels over the next week or two.

Level Definitions: I noticed some of my long-time competitors have moved up or down one level. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

Will we ever have competitive levels that "go to 11"?

Anyway, that must have been a great deal of serious work. I'm sure it will improve the game.
As always, thanks for all that you do for us, Larissa
