Okay, our fellow ballators, the event is now officially CLOSED!

We admins will check all the entries and judge in the next days. We try to work as fast as we can, but it may take some time. Please, consider this when asking for the winners and such.

Thank you for your patience!

Lets welcome in the ending of summer with a show! About time, huh?
This is the EB Summer Festival; there are tons of events and a deadline of a little over a month off so you have plenty of time!
Prizes will be offered from the High (and low) Lords for your Ballator's enjoyment!

RULES AND HOW TO ENTER

LIST OF HIGH AND LOWLORDS

ONLY REGISTERED BALLATORS MAY ENTER!!

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 10th

JUDGING

The best event to enter your horses in will be the ones related to their Stat Levels. If your horse has more intelligence and strength and less Dressage and gait, he will be more suited for Wrestling, etc.
Unlike some of our other shows, this show will not be judged solely on Stats (Stat Journal). Instead, it will be effort-based, and you will compete against horses of your same level.
You MUST Link to your horses' stat list (a list of all the drawings done of it with the amount of points gained). You can eaither put this in the reference or in a separate journal.
You can see what level your horse is by visiting the Stat Journal linked above.
For this show, there will be 3 Levels:
Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced/Expert.
If you miscalculate your stats, or if we need to flesh out a certain level, we might move you up or down one.

EFFORT JUDGING
Fullbody: +2 point
Extra Character (such as Opponent): +1 point
Headshot: + 0.5 point
Simple Background (grass, one jump, copy/pasted items, etc): 1 point
Complex backgrounds (very detailed, good composition, etc): 2 Points
Shading: +1 point
Tack/Event-Specific Clothing: +2 Points

For how many Effort Points you get, you get a higher change of placing 1st,m second, or 3rd.
It works this way:

Say I enter my horse E-056 Lucien, an Intermediate level EB, into Wrestling. I draw a Simple background of the ring, draw his opponent, and shade it. This gets me  6 effort points. The picture itself would get me 7 stat points. Then, I add up his overall stat count, which is 50, not including the 7 points listed earlier. So my total point count would be 63 Overall points.
Horses with more overall points are the horses who place well.
