 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Here are the races I made for Bowie race course. Dirt only. You could (and I hope you would be kind enough) make the Bowie track.
Three festival type programs. 1st day females. 2nd day males/open. Designed to mimic Bowie's winter track profile. I use these races in my current game. The two 1m-2f 3yo races are my Kentucky Derby prep races of choice for my Derby favorites. The race names are named after Bowie neighborhoods, landmarks and horses who have connections to Bowie.
Late December - 2 year olds
Day1
5,G3,2,F 100000 Bowie:cc_dirt1 Belair Stakes December 6,G3,2,F 150000 Bowie:cc_dirt1 Overbrook Stakes December 7,G2,2,F 200000 Bowie:cc_dirt1 Rockledge Stakes December 8,G1,2,F 300000,x Bowie:cc_dirt1 Chapel Forge Stakes December

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Wow! Bowie would be a super awesome addition! And I was planning on making Bowie for the November course pack release (I remembered how much you liked it). This schedule will probably be released around then too! I'll add them to the schedule when I get a chance.

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Alright, so I have an idea of the name of the year end championship, the World Festival of Racing (WFOR for short). All of the races would have WFOR in front of them (ex: WFOR Classic or WFOR Mile). If you have any other suggestions for names, please post below. Maybe you'll have something better (and shorter, or doesn't sound like a radio station) than WFOR. Also, as of right now, the championship seems to be taking place at Lingfield. Unless the vote changes it will be there. However, I will release an updated course file fro where ever it is that includes larger crowds (many of which would be on temporary bleachers), signage that says that it is the championship (so many posters, banners, signs, etc.), and a very nice finish post on the innermost course (see my Flemington), just so the course seems like a championship course. It would not replace the original course, but rather be a separate course (probably located in a separate country than the original just so then it isn't used for regular races, unless there is a way to make the course not be used). So you would still have Lingfield but would also have a course titled WFOR Lingfield (or whatever the championship is called and what course would be used).
And only 17 more races until the first pack will be prepared and released!

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Don't worry, everything will work out with your schedule (which I am very excited for) Something I figured out when working on my listed schedule is copying and pasting from Excel makes there be consistency in spelling between both the showcase and schedule files. Since I record all the races in excel first, then copy into the showcase and format to the right way, it saves a lot of time. Basically, after entering each race into the excel file, copy and paste the races into a separate book, reorganize the columns in order by how they are in showcase file (dist, grade, age, gender, money, track, d/t/jmps/hrdls/etc., name, month) and then you'll have everything. Just add in commas and spaces and what not and it will be done. Then you do the same thing with the schedule file cept you just have date, track, the number of the course (none, 2, 3) and the name of the race. It save a lot of time, although a little tedious. And if you have a spelling error at least it will appear in both haha! I will say though that your method that you use is very similar to the method I used, although when the line gave me the wrong race my mind was literally going crazy. I even tried double marking everything, where each race in my excel file will get a check mark when I start it and a line number when i finish it, but that just took too much time and had a few errors.

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
I get where you are coming from. One thing that bothers me is that most wrong races don't crash the game at game creation. It used to and made finding errors so much easier. Now if a race is misspelled, it just doesn't appear, not crash the game. So while it makes less headaches, it causes a few more when you realized the big races isn't there (how am I supposed to win the Triple Crown if I can't race in the Belmont Stkes lol).

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Making a website is a great idea! I'm excited for that! I was going to make a website for Start It, which would allow me to expand on my mod, add more capabilities, and even have a mini-league of sorts (now that I think of it, is there currently the ability to send exported horse files, and if so, why hasn't anyone done a beta game mini-league just to have some fun and pass the time before the game goes full). I also wanted to make a website (and accompanying twitch or something) that would simulcast a game with news and what not (kinda like how Outside the Park Baseball has the ability to post a game on their servers). The problem with both of these (albeit more so the first) is not having a place to host. Making the website is fine (I'm well versed in HTML and CSS) but not in having a host site. Hopefully you'll get a website up and running! And I'll definitely be participating in your challenges, especially any at a mile (my apparent specialty, even tho I never have any milers bred, most of my horses excel at the mile better than any other distance).

 Re: Group Fictional Schedule (Help Needed)
Looks Nice! Seems like it will easily fulfill its purpose. I tried webs out once but a lot of its capabilities annoyed me and I found that Google Sites is much better, but very limited in its styles and gets very annoying to edit. I use wordpress for my blog (which I like to use as its easy to post and has some great free styles and is somewhat able to run html, but only in posts). I would much rather make an html site from scratch but that costs money and I don't feel like spending money on this haha!
