Introducing XP Tournaments: Boost Your Racehorse’s XP!
XP tournaments have arrived! Offering a new reward mechanism for all of our current tournament offerings, allowing well-performing racehorses to earn massive experience point boosts.
XP Tournament Schedule
- Beginning April 12, 2023, UTC, free XP tournaments will be operating in every class for a specific conditional level band each day.
- These bands will alternate, as will the distances of the final events.
- Level bands will receive a set total tournament multiplier corresponding to the relative amount of XP required to level within that band.
Free XP tournaments will utilise 12 racehorse events, a Fibonacci scoring system using the average of all qualifying races and a 5-race minimum to qualify. 192 racehorses per distance category will qualify each day per class, with 3 racehorses advancing per final round.
The schedule for each week will be as follows (dates in UTC):
Monday: Level X01-X25
Tuesday: Level X26-X50
Wednesday: Level X51-X75
Thursday: All Levels per Class
Friday: Level X01-X25
Saturday: Level X26-X50
Sunday: Level X51-X75
How XP Tournaments Work
Currently, all tournaments in ZED RUN have specific races that are used for qualifying. These can vary on eligibility criteria, entry fee and format.
Any tournament format can have XP bonuses used as a main reward, or layered as an additional reward, making it an XP Tournament.
Rewards for XP tournaments are XP multipliers that amplify the amount of XP earned based on a racehorse's finishing position. This amount is dependent on the following factors:
- Entry fee, class and number of gates of qualification races
Total XP multiplier for the tournament and individual rounds
- If a tournament has a total 10x multiplier, this amount is distributed across rounds
For a three round tournament, the distribution could be:
- Quarter Final: 2x
- Semi Final: 3x
- Final: 5x
Example
Racehorse A has qualified for the 12 racehorse Fibonacci free tournament in Class 2. This tournament has a 10x total multiplier, with a 2x multiplier for the Quarter Final round.
Racehorse A wins its Quarter Final race.
A normal 12 racehorse free race in Class 2 rewards 160 XP for first place. As this tournament has a 2x multiplier, Racehorse A will receive 320 XP for their first place win.
Similarly, any racehorse who also participated in the race will get 2x the experience points normally allocated to their finishing position for a class 2, 12 racehorse free race.
