The Monthly Atlantic Cheese Race​

I am posting this anouncement in a Jiffy since our Andrasta is on the run for the next 2 days

Heres one for the months to come - each month we will be running a cheese race (crazy huh!) - the location is the Paddock just above the fair ground area outside West Brit - coordinates are (1310 1805).

Inspired by an annual event held in the UK, whereby participants have to chase rolling wheels of cheese down a hill, participants will attempt to carry a weighted cheese with their name on from a start point to the finish.

Every third Friday of the month starting with this Friday (April 17th), at 6pm EST, the Monthly Atlantic Cheese Race will be held at the paddock between the blacksmiths and the stables to the west of Britain.

The race consists of several elimination rounds and then a final round. In each race, up to 6 participants will race and have their own cheese, which they must drag from the starting point to the end. The first person to get to the end, wins the round.

The winner from each round will go through to the finals, although if there is huge interest, further elimination rounds will be implemented. The winner of the finals will have their name added to a cheese and put into the reward house, in Malas. All winners cheeses will be displayed, however only the current winner will have their cheese on display.

Please remember not to disrupt the event - if you don't like how the event is being run or held, you are more than welcome to voice your opinions here on stratics; but don't disrespect the other participants! If you want to take part or simply spectate, you are kindly asked to not go inside the pen area.

The rules are stated in and outside of the race area, but for reference, here they are!

Aim
The aim of the race is to roll [drag and drop] the cheese from the start of the field to the end, once players have been told to start the race. The first person to the end wins that round. After each round, first and second places will be recorded. After the third player has got their cheese to the end of the track, the race will end within 5 seconds.

Players in second place will only partake in the finals if there is a low turnout of participants –or– if first place does not attend the final (or has been disqualified, see “disqualification”)

Winners from each round will compete in a final, where the winner’s name will be put on a cheese, to be displayed at the event hall (and on the field for a month)

Disqualification
Players will be disqualified from a race, or the finals, if:

They are observed to be running while holding a cheese
They are found to disrupt the other contestants during a race (this includes spamming at the bottom of the screen)
They are found to have taken or dragged a cheese, either their own or that of another contestant, outside the designated race track while any race is in progress
Abusive, vulgar or hateful behaviour toward other players or the cheesemaker!
Please note that disruptive behaviour, even from non-participants, will not be tolerated. So don't do it!



Finally, please bear in mind that this race is the opening race, meaning that things may well not go exactly as planned. All that we ask is that you bear with us and try not to be disruptive or abusive. Remember, this is monthly, so if you can't make it, you can always try next month!

Thank you EM Vytacca for the heads up
