The Rookie Rally race series is a bonus initiative to kickstart newcomers’ Photo Finish™ legacy by welcoming stables with a free entry race at the door.
If you’re interested in taking advantage of your one-time ticket to a Rookie Rally race, you’ve come to the right place.
Below, we’ve compiled a quick guide on how to turn your first foray into Photo Finish™ into an opportunity to test drive your new horse, all for free, while competing for real-money rewards.
What is the Rookie Rally?
Who is eligible?
If it’s your first season racing in paid racing (or you ran for the first time late last season), and you’ve verified (KYC’ed) your account, you’re eligible!
You may pick one of the four races to get whitelisted for and run in.
Can I Race During the Season?
Of course! We encourage all Rookie Rally participants to race their horses all season long. Just make sure your horse will be rested enough to run in the Rookie Rally race you choose.
Any Other Perks?
You bet! In Discord, you can get the Rookie Rally role; just ping our community manager, Bryce. This will give you access to a gate-locked channel to discuss things with other new stables, and Bryce will help guide you as needed.
Of course, our community is fantastic at this as well, but it’s another place to really build some camaraderie with others joining at the same time you are. At the end of the season, that Rookie Rally role will be removed from Discord.
How Do I Register?
If you meet the outlined criteria, you can register at https://forms.gle/sJnYfo3t8peGsnY96.
Whitelists are approved and usually updated on the Monday before the Rookie Rally.
Ensure you leave time to get your horse healthy and ready to run during the event.
Communications will be on the dedicated Rookie Rally Discord channel.
Whitelisting closes on Wednesday at 8 pm, the night before the Rookie Rally. Registration is open for whitelisted horses 72 hours before the race.
