Sapphire Hold Canine Hunts

You enter the brightly lit courtyard of Sapphire Hold, where you see a young man and his large, white and black canine. He turns to you, smiling brightly. "Hello traveller! You've come just in time, Grolen and I were just about to go on a practice hunt. My name's Flator, owner of this champion here. He's won many a hunts, he's a natural I tell you. Have you come to register for the next hunt? There will be one coming soon!" he says. A hunt?

As if he read your mind, the young man continues, "We raise hunting canines here at Sapphire Hold and they do us well when it comes time to hunt for wherry. But we also like to hold contests, or hunts to see who's canine is the better hunter. A rare, white wherry was spotted just east of Sapphire Hold, and we've decided this would be the perfect thing to hunt for. For three days, the canine and his owner go on the hunt, and the first back is the winner!" he exclaimes, his eyes lighting up.

"Winner receives a special certificate for his canine and te canine's ranking goes up. Well, that's about all I can tell you traveller. If you want to know more, read the rules. I hope you and your canine enter!"

Hunting Rules

To enter a hunt, your canine must be registered with us. It doesn't count if you are registered somewhere else, you must be registered at Sapphire Hold. To do so, please go back to Sapphire Hold and to the Canine Register page.
After registering your canine, find which hunt your canine qualifies to be in. If you want them to hunt, sign them up!
The hunts are decided randomly. Each day, I will flip a coin for your canine. Only if your canine gets heads will it go onto the next day of the hunt. If on the third day, more than one person gets heads, I'll flip again for those people until there are only two canines left. The canine who gets heads for the next flip will be winner. In hunts with only one target, there is only one winner. If there are more than one target, there will be more than one winner(first and second). If you win, you receive a certificate to place in your canine's home.
If you win, the register page, where your canine's information is placed, will be updated. It will then read the name of the race, and place your canine came in. (First, Second, or in larger hunts, Third, Fourth and Fith.)
If you must pull your canine from the hunt, please tell me BEFORE the hunt day.
If you are entering a hunt, please enter well before it's closed. After it's closed, you will not be able to enter until the next hunt has been planed.
After your canine wins 30 races, no matter how it scored (First, Second, Third...), it will be given the title of Champion.
You can retire your canine, and please tell me, so that the registry can be updated. After retiring, the canine cannot return to hunting.
Canines will normally retire around 11-15 turns. Please don't have a 17 year old canine hunting. A huning canine's prime is 3-8 turns of age.
