You can write up your own description of a breed type to be added to the breed arena. Anyone can do it and will be credited. And then anyone can host competitions using that standard! Just type up a fairly comprehensive description of the desirable traits, perhaps a quick explanation of why those traits are desirable, and there you go. You can post them here or message them to me.

I'd like to create an Agility type competition.
The Agility would be for lean, smooth lepitaurs. Like racing they are built for speed and to fit through tight spaces. Because of this small and medium would be preferred, but probably have another competition for larger lepitaurs. I'd prefer all three sizes have their own agility trials because the equipment would have to be a different size for each size. Having horns would be a disqualifying because they could catch on polls or hopes and other equipment. Fangs, manes, and leg feathers would all be fine. Long legs would be preferred over short legs, again for mobility. Mid length tails would be preferred to act as a rudder, however long and short would be acceptable. Primate tails would be the least preferred though since they have a tendency to catch on and grasp things.
The point in these competitions (Large Agility, Medium Agility, and Small Agility) is to show case the animal's agility and maneuverability. Within these competitions the animal must be watching and listening to the handler who guides/commands them through the agility course which would include thins like ramps, hoops, weave poles, teeter-totters, ect.

I think perhaps the point of my breed arena shows has gotten lost in translation. It's my fault, as I was not prepared for such an influx of members and hadn't made my writings clear.
Currently, there are no actual competitions that require (or should) require the lepitaurs to prove their abilities. It is simply to judge them upon their traits and whether or not they look like they are suited for the tasks.
There is going to be a completely different system, which will likely be based on stats and random rolls (much like a tabletop RPG) for actual races or agility competitions.
For now, the shows should be based mainly on whether or not the lepitaur appears to fit the standard. More like real like dog or cat shows, but with a bit of a twist.

Oh, no. I did understand that. Sorry, I put in the bit about the obstacles and handler/animal thing to give ideas for "When hosting, you may choose one or more task pictures in addition to a pose." If people wanted to. I just put in a bit more so that if the host/competitors wanted they could do more of an RPG thing.
Side note, I love the stat/random roll competitions too.

Ah, my apologies.
Honestly, I'd forgotten about the task pictures as previously no one required them.
If you write up a standard for agility worded similarly to the ones already listed, I will add it.

Agility (Any size)
For agility Lepitaurs have long legs and lean bodies built for speed. Short furred is preferred, with manes and leg feathers being less preferred. Medium tails are preferred to make turns easier without catching on anything. Horns are undesirable due to their chances of catching on things.

I enjoy doing "trials" as well as shows. I did come up with a way to measure "weight" of petz and "speed" of petz (my explanation is on DG atm). But the calculations can be tedious and most folks probably just want to do shows ^^;

It has been added, Shade.
Thor, if you wish to post the system here, I can give it and look over and see if I feel it will work for this forum.

As added incentive, I'll now pay anyone who writes up a breed type $20. Shade, I'm sending you $20 now for the one you've submitted. Anyone who is interested may post here or PM me.

Do we currently have anywhere a list of the breed types currently available? I think I may not have looked super hard so I apologize if it exists and I just couldn't find it ><

There is a link in the original post here or you can find the list in the Breed Arena title "Types of Competitions."

New Breed Type:
Jousting (Large Lepitaurs) Similar to racing, jousting competitions need long-legged and large Lepitaurs for riding and speed. Unlike racing, horns are required to perform a joust. Riding is optional, as jousting can be dangerous. Stocky builds sacrifice speed for strength which can be an advantageous tactic. Thick fur and coats, manes, and feathering are preferred as they offer better protection during a joust. Colors that match the riders coat of arms are typically preferred, but generally any color and pattern can be found on jousters. Longer tails offer better maneuverability, however can get stuck or grabbed during a joust. Fangs are faulted.

Quick question. The statement "longer tails offer better maneuverability, however can get stuck or grabbed during a joust" is a bit confusing. Are longer tails or shorter tails preferred?

Yeah I figured that was confusing. I basically wanted to say: any tail works except for the primate tail really because of the advantages and disadvantages. When writing this up, I wanted it to be doable and not super specific because I noticed that my lepitaurs don't fit into most of these standards completely because of all the specifics. EDIT FIX: Jousting (Large Lepitaurs)Similar to racing, jousting competitions need long-legged and large Lepitaurs for riding and speed. Unlike racing, horns are required to perform a joust. Riding is optional, as jousting can be dangerous. Stocky builds sacrifice speed for strength which can be an advantageous tactic.

Colors that match the riders coat of arms are typically preferred, but generally any color and pattern can be found on jousters. Longer tails offer better maneuverability, however can get stuck or grabbed during a joust, therefore all tails, except primate, are acceptable. Fangs are faulted.

I've added it and sent you $20 for it.
I don't think anyone at this point expects any lepitaurs to fit the standards perfectly. The point of the shows is to work towards the standards with breeding, refining the lepitaurs and maybe even changing the standards as we go.
The descriptions can be very unspecific if the creators wish, or as detailed as possible. Just as long as the statements aren't confusing.
Thank you for the addition!
