New Showing System!

← Back to News

We officially have our new showing system in place!

I have added in a new sorting option for Auto-Showing: "Soonest". This will choose the shows which run the soonest so that you can hopefully get your show results sooner.

All shows created from this moment on will have a 24 hour countdown timer and will appear in the shows list (almost) immediately. Shows will be removed from the list when the countdown runs out, or when the show reaches 15 entries. The shows which are removed from the list will run within 15 minutes.

Stable owners can now only create a maximum of 200 "active" shows. This means that as soon as their timer runs out, or the show has run because it has reached 15 entries, stable owners can create more shows. It is intended to be a more dynamic show creation system. Let's see how it goes :P

There are a couple of small, temporary issues.

1) I am using a new way to store the prize pool for shows, so it will show incorrect amounts for shows that were created before today. For this reason, I will be disabling sorting shows by prize pool until they sort themselves out.
2) Shows will not be able to run every 15 minutes until today's shows have cleared up. I will aim to have the new showing system running properly at around midday EV time. In the mean time, shows can be entered. They just won't run at their expected time today (e.g. if you enter a show that runs in 4 minutes from this news post, it won't run until later).


I expect there will be some bugs throughout the day, so I will be around to hopefully fix them.

Please make sure to report bugs in the news comments or on the Bug Board!

Edit: I have created some filler shows for every grade past the Novices to help out with some members being unable to create new shows until their old shows clear.

It's possibly because any shows created before today would have had the 3 day countdown given to them rather than the 24 hours. As I said, a few things will be messed up but I don't neccessarily think that it's a bug at this stage, more that there weren't any shows created for today yet.

Those shows created over the weekend should show up tomorrow and Tuesday, they will finish at the times they were created rather than running at the early morning cron. There are currently 11k shows created to run in total, but only ~7k will run within the next 24 hours.

Sorry it's worked out this way, but seems to be okay now, hopefully? :)

Yah, the # of shows that is said to be available (on the show creation page) aren't meshing with the search results.

Example - National 1 Dressage
Show creation page says: 44 shows available
On Show entry page: 15 available (I'm guessing they were made today)
On my "upcoming shows" page that has shows the I created yesterday: I count 20 Na1 Dressage shows that say they will be run in 7 hours and 20 odd minutes *that don't already have show results*

So it LOOKS like perhaps the shows that were created prior to the implementation aren't being registered as available?

I'll start looking at some other levels.

I also have about 20 pages of shows that I created that say they have 9 hours left on the timer, but when I click on the name of the show is says that the show already ran and gives me everyone's placings. This holds true for shows that were maxed out at 25 entries and 1 entry shows (so possibly shows that DID run today as scheduled aren't disappearing from my active show tally?)

LOL Darn I didn't type fast enough. Disregard if it's not helpful since it's already been answered! :)

Ducky, the timer for shows only goes up to 24 hours - your shows will show up as X hours to run, but it's possible that they have an extra day on them left to run. It should all be fixed by Wednesday - unfortunately I think it's just how the new system is going to settle in.

Oh I've just found a bug with the shows counter - it should now accurately reflect shows which will run in the next 24 hours. Sorry about that :x

The auto-show page has a red box at the top that reads: There weren't any shows to enter this horse in.
The manual show page just says there are no shows.

This is happening to me in:
Specialty: Racing
Grade: R1, R2, L4, L5

All my other grades/specialties entered just fine via auto-showing.

On my "Upcoming shows" page, the green header says Upcoming shows (528)...then in the body of the table it says"you have no shows that are running." On show creation page, I have 0 shows I'm able to make. Do I have 528 shows hiding somewhere or is this a bug? O.o

I made 70 shows yesterday, before Cron, and now I am not able to make any shows today :[

This is actually not a great update, as much as I was looking forward to it, there is just not enough shows for my horses anymore. That needs to be fixed, I'd much prefer the old system over my horses not being able to stat up anymore.

I'm not exactly a big fan of the new system, mostly because it now takes several times longer to enter my horses in shows. This is due to how long it takes for the pages to load. I already know that it's not my internet.

I'm not happy about the new system. I earn less money now than I spend and it takes much more time to enter my horses in shows.
