Competitions Question

Returning to the game after a few years and recently I've noticed some of my fillers are actually beating out the horses I'm BLUPing. For example, my filler has both lower skills (trained and IBS) and a lower GP than my project horse.

How are competition results calculated?

Does *when* the horses were entered make a difference? (i.e. do their skills at time of entry matter?) My project horse was entered yesterday when she had lower skills (did further training after I entered her in the comp) and my filler was entered today with no additional training.

Thanks in advance for any insight! default smiley :)

Wondering if I might have answered my own question. Instead of looking at the horses, I looked at the competition itself and noticed this one has a max skill which my project horse now surpasses today.

Can someone confirm if this is the issue?

Only the skills at time of entry matter, and it's the 3 skills used for that particular competition.

If you could post links to the horses in question, and let us know what competition it was, we can probably tell you a bit moredefault smiley :)

Yes, you must have trained it up a good deal after entering, as based on its current skills, Stella would beat Bree now.

Morale also plays a factor, but we can only assume Stella had much lower skills at the time, since it would no longer qualify for that competition now.

Thanks so much for answering! That makes sense now that I look at the competitions more. default smiley :)
