Hi all, i've been playing SO for about 6/7 months and love it! I've been reading through the threads about the new league.

Its a little confusing trying to piece together all the information from the different posts, so i have a few questions for you seasoned pros;

1. Where to register for the new league?
2. I've seen comments relating to the use of horses Transferred into a new game and used at stud, is that still allowed?
3. also how does the league system work? will i have to enter each horse into specific races ect.

Any help or answers would be awsome!

thanks

Thanks all sorted. Another quick question, i know you cant upload horses yet but how do you do it when you can? could you link me to a thread (if there is one?)

Also all flat horses are to have ratings set to 70 when exporting them from ck?

thanks tom

Flat type 975 in CK to Get 75 Rating
Jumps type 10 to get 100

Gray

Thanks very much! All done, great video by the way!

Hi Gray

I can't seem to change my saved horses flat rating.
I can change my jumps horses ratings like in your video (100 for NH) but my flat horses have no rating.
I can type 975 into the box after clicking on a horse but the rating doesn't come up next to the horse.
Any ideas?

Doug

Got the same problem again myself I believe Mark is working on it.

Gray

I just went ahead and uploaded my flat horses and they all uploaded with a rating of 75. So maybe it is now automatic????

My horses for the trials uploaded automatically as well without me changing anything

The rating in Tom is set be Tom initially to 75 or 100 After the first race I extract the rating from the text file or the handicapper updates the ratings in Tom.

So no its not automatic. Gray or me will reset all ratings at once so don't worry about it to much

I've a quick question (rather than open another thread)...

Is there a limit how many times you can run a horse during the season? I seem to remember in the last season we put a cap on how many times a horse could run? Also would it effect your horse at all if you were to run them three weeks running say?

I don't think there as ever been a cap on how many times a horse can run.
You can run your horse every week if you want.
No effect on your horse whatsoever (except obviously weight changes, depending on how good your horse is)

There was a cap of 9 runs tried back in the SO4 days, or was it SO3, but it got scrapped after 1 season if I remember correctly.
