9th Royal Britannia Summoner Sprints brought to you by El Horno Track and event details: Where: The Royal Britannia Race Track is located in a converted wheat field North-West of Britain. (as always I'm sure gates will be provided from the usual banks if you can't find it) When: Sunday, October 22nd, 8pm CST Rules: No mounts. Two man teams consisting of a 'summoner' (caster) and a sprinter will compete to see who's runner can dodge the most stone walls to cross the finish line first. (How many laps/heat races we run varies.) The twist is the 'summoner'. They can cast stone walls in front of opponents or use dispel field to clear a path for their runner. First guy across the finish line after the set number of laps wins. Registration will be allowed to continue up until the point all qualifying races have been run. (the last possible moment basically) Each Summoner's Sprint will consist of as many as 6 competing teams running as many as 10 laps. (varies) Teams will enter the track unmounted. At the beginning of each race sprinters will report to the starting line. (the glowing set of runes) Casters will enter the infield where they will stay for the duration of the race. Each team will wait for the official starting wall to drop before running or casting. Casters will be limited to casting wall of stone, agility or dispel field. Sprinters may use refresh potions and or food. There is no limit. No footstools or other blocking items will be permitted in any race. Multiple qualifying races will be run based on the amount of racers present. The referee and Elhorno in particular have the right to make anything up along the way if need be. Including byes or taking things to a video review. Participants may freely change positions (runner, caster) during qualifying heats. ("Hey let me run this time!") Normally 1st, 2nd and 3rd finishers qualify for a final race. During qualifications each sprinter will notify the official with the name of their summoner and if you're awesome you'll dress alike. Awards: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers (both teammates) will be awarded official Telamon created 1st, 2nd or 3rd place event commemorative statues and a plat reward. 1st: 50 plat for each team member 2nd: 30 plat for each team member 3rd: 10 plat for each team member Best outfit in the crowd (Chosen by a crowd shoutout): 200k (Thanks @Gideon Jura ) Check out video of our past sprints!
Sweet! Added a new prize, best outfit in the crowd, funded by you! If your ping sucks and you can't run in the race, come idle in your trammel gear and show us what you got!
Wish I was able to get on today to do this, looks like a lot of fun. I love these unique events you guys do, adds so much enjoyment to the game.
I saw this about 20 mins after the scheduled time, was gonna go, but figured I was too late. So there was some interest
Was sad to see the low turn out. Wasn't going to race but ended up Team Trout, could of been a winner!! Tag me if you want to try again at a different time, I will do what I can to be there or at least help spread the word!!
Yes. Organizing these events takes time + energy + gold. I hold these events for the community, and the community sent me a very loud message last night "We don't want your events!" Message received.
Looked fun, unfortunately whenever there are events, i usually can only focus on 1 event if i can even do that so i don't neglect the fam too much. Dont think these events go unappreciated though.
The massive Halloween event is going on right now.. I know personaly all my UO time is used on farming HCs and the instance right now. I don’t have the time or interest to do anything else at he moment.
