Races close on Mondays at 9PM EST! Our Next Sale Begins: January Y22.
02/05/23 We're almost ready to kick off the New Year here at Final Furlong! The New Years Sale is still OPEN for bids - lots of ponies needing homes! As well, we're hoping to close January Week One races by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. However, if we need to extend closing date so more people can get entered, just let us know in the Discord. In addition to getting your pages ready, don't forget to use your bonus points if you'd like!
01/29/23 Congratulations to KENREN for winning the Y21 Breeders' Cup Betting Contest! You've won a breeding reserve to FIFTY DREAMS (Firestone Stud) and 2x 2 furlong extensions + 5 bonus horse points! Lolly finished 2nd, and Cruisey finished 3rd.
12/08/22 The Breeder's Cup Betting Contest will make a return for Y21!!! It'll be a little bit different because of the new points system, but get ready for some end of year fun 😄
11/21/22 Entries for the New Year Sale are now open! We know it seems a bit early, but with life things we're going to need time to make sure things are right lol. Please follow the link here: https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2304/y22-new-year-sale
08/20/22 Judging has been the basis for issues for a long time - taking too long, drama regarding results, bias, etc. Kenren has attempted to put a points system together that keeps the spirit of our system while streamlining and standardizing the process. It's a lot to take in, but once you get in the swing of it, preparing pages with these points takes way less time than doing a layout change lol! If you have any questions, please post them in the judging-help channel on Discord for now. If anyone needs help with anything, please let an admin know! We would like to give everyone one week to get things settled, and then we would like to run July Wk 2 using this system closing 8/27/22 (or earlier if everyone is ready). If it works out, we would like to run two game weeks per RL week to get things moving! Thank you all so much for being her!e
07/27/22 To start July off fresh, we've been playing around with a new theme for Final Furlong! Make sure to check out 'Sonorous' under your profile ❤️ Feel free to use whatever theme works best for yourself. We can't wait to get back to racing!
07/21/22 it's official! We're back! It looks like June Wk 4 was almost fully judged, so make sure you get that updated if you hadn't! We will plan to close the next week (July Wk 1) on Thursday, August 4th. This close day may change, but it's not a bad place to start! For now we'll be doing one game week per RL week to get back into things. Please remember that starting the second half of the year, 3yos can compete against older horses without automatic lower placements.
As an aside, because this is fairly sudden after a whole year, we will not be allowing reclaims on horses for members not currently active for a few months. We will readdress this going forward if needed. Thank you all for understanding!
07/08/22 GO answer the poll ❤️ https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2232/ff-restart-poll

GENERAL RULES
THE BASICS
General Rules 1. Do not fight on the boards or on our Discord. If you have a disagreement with somebody, take it to PM and ask for staff to mediate the dispute. We'll all be happier if any fights are resolved peacefully and privately so that it doesn't affect the other members of our community!
2. Be nice to one another, please. Abide by the golden rule! "Do unto others as you would do unto yourself."
3. No bullying of any kind. Bullying will result in a permanent ban. Don't do it.
4. We do allow cursing on our site, but never at other members, and never in excess or at a high level of severity. Acceptable cursing: "Shit that field is big", "Damn I was hoping to beat your horse this time!". Unacceptable cursing: Literally anything else.
5. Respect your staff members and we'll respect you. We've put years of work into this site and we honestly do want the best for everybody. We have final say on any questions/problems that may arise and we are also the only ones who should be editing forms/posting race weeks/closing races/doing other things that scream "Staff Duty" instead of member duty. However, we don't bite; approach us with any questions that you may have, especially in your first few months here when you're learning how we work and how things go. We're friendly! (And so are our members XD)
6. Following in line with that: read the staff updates! They contain important information that is necessary for you to know what's coming in the future on our site and how it all impacts you.
7. Read each thread in this board if you want all of your questions answered and you want to know how every aspect of our site works! All of the information that you need is broken down into different threads. Read all of the "Basics" threads to get started; you can save the other threads for later, as you likely won't need the information in them until you're more established on the site! When you're ready for more in-depth knowledge, dive into the other threads
8. You'll learn more about horse pages in the following modules, but please know that by joining you agree to NEVER DELETE YOUR STABLE SITE if the horses have not been transferred to another member. Because we allow for the freedom and creativity of having a stable site on the platform of your choice, we do not have a 'backup' of information for those horses, and will lose all of their information if you delete your site! Doing so will result in a permanent ban.
9. As always, please PM a staff member either here on FF or on Discord if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you around!
