Horse Racing Fantasy Community

I am constantly getting the same question about new tournaments. I've posted it before but am posting it again. The best way to check for new tournaments is to check my blog, or even more convenient, guys, just click on the Tournament Schedule calendar on the right. Look for the dates highlighted in red indicating the start of an event.

Now, I know we're all anxious to get involved in these tournaments and get racing right away, but it's very, very important - and let me say it one more time - very important that you read the tournament qualifications. For example, the tournament may only be open to VIPs, the tournament may only be open to users who have run more than a certain number of races or who have run less than a certain number of races, the tournament may be restricted to players who have won a certain number of races as a jockey or who may have a certain points-per-start average. You can get all your own jockey stats by simply going to your profile and clicking on User Jockey Stats. The first line will show you your lifetime results. How many races have you run as a jockey? How many wins? How many points per start do you have? All of these may be factors when entering a tournament. Once you feel you are eligible for a tournament and the tournament has not started yet, just click the link and you're entered. It's that simple. All races run in community mode during the tournament schedule time will count toward your tournament play. And, yes, guys, you can be entered in multiple tournaments at once.

Just a hint - if we say the tournament is restricted to players who have run less than 250 races, unless it specifically says "jockey races", then the tournament qualification is all races, not just your jockey races. Whether you play the game in private mode or community mode, a total count of your races run can also be found on your profile page near the top where it says Total Races.

Another little hint because I want all of our players to be on equal ground - or should I say, "equal racing ground". Some tournaments have qualifications as to a minimum number of races that must be run during the tournament time period. For example, if the tournament says three days - must run 50 races - and it is a jockey tournament to qualify, you must run 50 races as a jockey in community mode during that time period to qualify.

I suggest checking out the Tournament Schedule days in advance so you can prepare for tournaments. Come back to the community often to view the latest tournaments that are available and don't necessarily count on receiving emails from us. Look for a whole new group of horse racing tournaments by tomorrow.

Good luck to all our players!
