Hey!
Played the demo of Starters orders 4 and thinking about buying it now. Did read much in this forum and a main reason for buying would be the online league feature, but I'm not sure if it is possible right now to enter or do I have to wait some month for league playing!? Maybe then it would be better to wait for SO5?
I would like to know which steps I would have to do until I could enter horses. Best thing would be with links to each step!
Thanks in advance!

OK, while no one wants to answer a newbie this question I searched by myself and that's what I have found so far:

I think I have to register here:

http://www.sopl.info/home

and then log in here to enter my horses:

http://www.sopl.info/sopl/tom10/main.php

Anything else?

But can I only enter league at the start of the season or being able to enter in the running league?
How many people do actually compete and how many races do u have a week?

Hi Mate, Welcome!

The second link you have up on your post is the one you want, when you register on there it will then inable you to name your stable, upload horse files, enter races etc.

The season is currently in its final two weeks and you can only join in at the start of a new season, keep a look out on the boards for announcments and if you have anymore questions just post they will be answered.

Once you have registered on TOM you can have a look at the stables already racing. You can look through what races are available to enter also.

What would you be taking part in Flat, Jumps?

All depends on your bloodlines. Some trainers start getting good league horses early in there game some later.

If i was you just keep on playing the game and trailing your horses against each other, until you get some news on the new season starting.

if you are playing the game to breed lge horses i would recommend starting more then 1 game

then you can mix up your breeding lines and you get beter quality horses quicker there is a post in this forum
where someone has put guide times for each distance its really good to have that to aim for

but dont worry or get down about it if you dont get near those times because this is the first season i have
taken the lge seriously and i got nowhere near the guide times yet i have won 4 handicap races

if you dont get as close to the guide times as you would like aim for hanicap races
enter maidens at start of season and then go the handicap route DO NOT ENTER HORSES INTO G1'S IF YOU DONT GET
NEAR THE GUIDE TIMES i did this with 7 or 8 of my team and they finished last but got rated over 100 which gives
them no chance of winning a race i had to learn this the hard way

trust me it does not matter if your horse wins a g1 or at handicap level the buzz you get when you see a horse you
breeded win a lge race is simply amazing

I also only started exporting and trialing horses a week b4 the lge started so if i can win races any1 can

if you hit the guide times then go all out to win at g1 level

whatever you will have fun taking part in the lge

good luck get trialing :D

Thanks for your advices, think I did read this post about race times.

Is there a way you can change the silks by yourself?

Are these Thomas race graphics implemented in the current version or do u have to install it?

Question: How do the horses in league get their rating, after they have won a race?! Or do they stay always at 75?

Horses in the league follow a real horse hcap, finishing last/winning will see rating go down and up

But automatically or by a certain rule or who decides how high the rating is?
