For a bit of friendly sport between riders, and for a show for the folk of Mavros, a number of dragon races have been arranged to take place on the day of Turnover (which is the day after the graduation feast). The 'track', such that it is, is Mavros Bay, with the start and finish line being between the Little Island and the small peninsula that juts out toward it. The rules are that the dragons cannot rise above the height of cliffs, and cannot veer out from the cliffs more than 4 dragonlengths, but should try to keep one dragonlength between themselves and the cliffs for safety. The stretch of the race that occurs over open water, away from the cliffs, is a bit of a 'free for all' area where racers can easily gain an advantage with a decent maneuver. Obviously, Betweening is not allowed. Several riders that aren't participating will act as watchers to make sure no one's cheating and will be posted around the 'track' to keep an eye on things. Spectators watch from the cliffs above or the beach below.
The Blue is the 'track', the Red dot is the start/finish.
Each race will complete one circuit of the 'track'.
There are two 'classes' of races, Class A is for blues and greens while Class B is for browns and bronzes. A few races will run from each Class over the course of the day, with a final championship race for each class at the end of the day, comprised of the 1st and 2nd place winners from the previous races. Both IC and OOC, the 1st and 2nd place winners will receive a few marks winnings, however the winners will be determined through a randomizer and NPCs may very well win, meaning no one gets any real marks. OOC, you will get 10 marks if your character places 1st and 5 marks if your character places 2nd. There will also be an OOC betting on the races. A separate betting thread will be set up after the race rosters have been decided.
Depending on PC interest, a few of the races may be roleplayed. There will be 3 'rounds' of posting, in which everyone gets one post (but there's no posting order to stick to). You can roleplay your racing freely, taking the lead as you please or falling back, because I'll be making the final post in which the actual winner will be decided randomly. If you don't have a PC character that can (or would want to) participate, you can ask to take control of an NPC if you would like, in which case if they place 1st or 2nd, you will get the marks for it. I will open up NPC claiming after PC sign ups are done and race rosters are decided. Only adult riders can participate. As I don't want these races taking forever to complete, if you don't post within 48 hours of the start of the round, you may be skipped for that round.
