4th Annual Run for the Roses - Kentucky Derby Event (Prizes)
9 years ago
NOW OPEN on Furaffinity!
4 Slots remain! Spread the word! If those slots are filled, a new prize opens up! A no-restrictions 3 page sequence commission! More participants mean more prizes!
People who have followed me for a bit of time may be aware of an annual contest I've ran the past few years to coincide with the Kentucky Derby! And its that time again!
The Kentucky Derby is easily the most recognizable horse-race in the world, bringing together racers from all over the world for an exciting 2-minute sprint at the historic Churchhill Downs in Kentucky. Mint Juleps and fancy hats abound! Its worth a watch in its own right, but TF makes it even better, you'll find. The rules are pretty simple. Pick the winning horse for the May 7th race, win a prize!
I've been pretty bad about setting this event up long enough in advance, so this year we're going to get out ahead of that particular horse (Pun very much intended). Each year, about 20 horses run in the historic "Run for the Roses", and this year, I'm aiming to fill ALL the post positions! The more people who enter, the more prize slots will open up and the more chances to win! So please, spread the word and let's make this the biggest Derby event yet!
Rules of Play:
Leading up to the Kentucky Derby, contestants will each choose 1 horse from the presented list of 20 participating horses.
There are sometimes more horses in the race, but 20 is usually the most stable estimate, so it cuts off at 20.
Only 1 "rider" to a horse. Once its been picked, its out of the selection pool.
I have not posted the post-list yet, because the lineup fluctuates wildly in the leadup to the actual race.
For simplicity, since the race a few positions may change dramatically without warning, each player is assigned to the initial post position, rather than the actual horse (As of May 7th)
If your horse is removed before the race, send me a note. If available, you may select another horse. If no horse is available, you will be paired up on another horse, selected at random by rolling a 20 sided die.
The player who selects the winning horse wins a prize
If no one selects the winning horse, the second place horse is treated as winner. This continues down the line until all winners are selected.
As I mentioned, the more slots that are taken the more prize slots open up. Here is the tentative list. Suggestions for higher prize brackets welcome!
