I want to run a contest--need to make sure it's allowable?
  • Hi all!
    I was wanting to hold a "Parade of Pretty Ponies Contest" with actual hb prize $. I need to know if this is within the rule parameters and if I can pay the hb prizes using the "Pay Another Member" feature? I just think it would be such fun! Thanks in advance for the guidance!

  • You want to send them game money from your account? Nothing wrong with that, but Reach for the Stars accounts can't join and money can't be sent to any player who's been on for less than 3 months. :) I think it's 3, but go to the page and check.
  • Less than 2 months. You can just have them create a horse and put it up for sale for the cost of the prize (plus the 2500 it costs to create them).

    I don't know why it would be a problem. People give away cash prizes all the time!

  • Thanks for your help RoseFlute! Yes I wanted to do like $5k for 1st Place, 2k for 2nd, and $1k for third to start with. It puts a damper if newer players can't get prize hbs; obviously they need it most. I am newer myself so I don't have an abundance of high-point show ponies that I could use as prizes yet.

    I was initially thinking the general theme would be that entries had to be horses that players bred themselves (not creates) and would be limited to one entry per account. If it's something I could afford to continue, it could get more specific for various genders, generations, etc. (with bigger prize $$$ in the future). I just think it would be fun to show off everyone's beauties in a contest format
    ( especially if I get the honor of judging :\"> )

  • Confluence that's a great idea, thank you! I'll play with the idea a bit more but am excited to do it.

  • That sounds like fun. I would even be willing to pay an entry fee like the shows we already enter.
  • That's a great idea! I may just have to play.
  • Ok I'll probably announce the contest this Thursday so be on the lookout. I'm going to do $10,000hbs first place, 5k second, and 2k third :-)
