# Event Points: a Special Event typically occurs in every race, providing unique ways to score points for your pony


'''Mechanics:''' Ponies’ performance in the race will be determined by a combination of two elements:
=== Pony Cards, Experience and Levels ===
Each Pony that participate in the races receives a BlackSand Racing Card. These cards are meant to be a useful reference to track the progress of your pony as they earn experience and level up.


''Votes from Twitter Poll:''
After each race, your pony will earn Experience Points. There are different ways to use Experience Points, the main one being to level-up your pony. Whenever you level-up your pony, you have a chance to learn a new ability or to improve an ability your pony has already learned.
* A twitter poll will be launched including all participating ponies (in a thread, due to twitter limitation of 4 choices per poll)
* Each pony will score 1 point per vote they get in the poll
* Holders are encouraged to promote their pony on twitter and discord
''Points from Treat Boost System:''
* Each holder will be able to secure boosts for their pony. Selected Treats from the Athenaeum collections can be used to redeem rolls. Different treats will grant different types of rolls (D6, D8 etc). See Treats Selection for details
* To secure rolls, you will need to be holding the chosen treats in the same wallet as your pony ''at the start of a race''
* Your pony will gain points according to your rolls. The rolls will be conducted on Discord (mechanics tbd)
* Each pony will be able to consume up to 3 treats per race. But if you roll 3 or more times (some treats may grant you more than 1 roll) your pony will be at risk of indigestion. You will need to roll 1 additional D4. If you roll 1,2, or 3 your pony gets an indigestion and '''you lose 50% of your Twitter poll points'''


The race ends when the twitter poll closes. Rolls must happen before the poll closes to be counted.
=== Championships ===
Some races are one-off events. But the majority of the races taking place in BlackSand will be part of Championships. Your pony can score Championships Points after every race, according to their Race Rank.


The sum of the points you score from Twitter and from the Boost System will determine your pony’s final score and rank. The highest ranking ponies will win some great prices!


=== Treats Selection from the Forgotten Runes Athenaeum ===

Every pony holder is allowed to use a max of '''3 TREATS''' race; Any combination of the below is allowed.
