Eliminations?

[babyizzy2]

I'm confusled, like always
When will the first eliminations be made?

[I.ndecisive]

As far as I am aware it is after each round of events, the number of which is mentioned on each individual disciplines pages, depending on the numbers entered. For example, track is three rounds of 36 events.

Each round has a number of sets of events or heats to give players a chance to adjust their training before the round is over. Right now the second set of events for those events started the first day of Olympics is starting. Most events have 3 heats, some do have 4. Each heat has a certain number of events, multiples of four, so at least 12 events, but maybe up to 20 or 24.

So it goes for most horses:
1st Round
1st heat
2nd heat
3rd heat
Round over
Horses sorted, eliminated or regrouped
2nd round
1st heat
2nd heat
3rd heat
Round over
Horses sorted, elimated or regrouped
3rd round (there are a couple events that do not have 3rd round)
etcetera

After the round is done, horses will be "sorted" those moving on will be reassigned a new group, so if the groups are A,B,C,D,E,F the next round will be groups G,H,I, etc..

is the age of the horse being noted before the events are run? just wondering if that will come into play...for example, my Group A Dressage horse was the only horse in her first set of events that was under teh age of 12 and still did well, all other horses under that age didnt do so well, but compaired to the 12.5 year olds she didnt do so hot...will her age become a factor in the judging?

Score is the only factor being judged. Age/breed/etc will not matter for eliminations. Score is the only factor on whether your horse moves on or not.

After each round, each horse's competition score will be evaluated and the lowest scored horses will not be allowed to event further in the Olympics.

One question, will the scores from the first round continue to count in the second? Or will it start over in the second round? From what I understood it would start over, so each horse starts equal each round, but now I am not sure if I understood correctly (with so many people racking up scores by over-aging the horses early on I have started to doubt my own memory and understanding of this...)

It's total competition score I believe

I'm pretty sure that once eliminations have been made and a new group begins that it will be a clean slate score wise. Everyone would start on equal ground again. That would only be fair.

*edit*
I will pm Bama to find out.

[Alabama]

No, it wouldn't be fair to start with a clean slate. If each round started with a clean slate, there would be no reason to have heats and rounds to begin with. I'd have just said, okay, the one who wins the most out of so many events wins gold medal.

Overall score is what will be judged.

Thank you for clearing it up. You may want to make this more clear though, as from the way it reads, it does sound sort of like it will be a clean slate for each round. Which I personally think makes a lot more sense (why have rounds if comp score in the end is all that matters anyway), but that could be just cause that is what I always thought was the case so now that makes more sense in my brain

Either way, thank you for clearing it up. I'm glad I asked, as I did have it wrong and now I know that

I had it wrong in my head too Ava.

[Alabama]

I apologize if it sounds that way, I thought it was pretty clear in that it's looking at the competition score, not taking the competition score and subracting what was there previously or resetting all horses' competition score to 0 after each round. If it were anything other than just straight competition score, I would have explained how it would be done differently.

[Banafrit]

I was a little bit confused about eliminations as well. Under the foxhunting section it makes it sound as if each group (A, B, C, etc) will divide by half individually, keeping the highest scoring horses. Under the endurance section it makes it sound as if all of the groups are looked at as a whole and then divided by half and the highest scores are kept. (The endurance way makes more sense to me but I just wasn't sure which way was correct).

[Alabama]

All horses in an Olympics event will be compared to each other, elimination isn't determined within the groups themselves.
