What
NE Racing is: -Submission of the QCC
Racing Commission - Letter of Intent Form
Non-Equine Racing is the branch of QCC Racing that supports and promotes racing
of creatures other than horses and mules. Opened at first to provide a venue for
the more fantastical creatures such as unicorns, dragons and pegasi, NE Racing
has become a place for members of the QCC to excercise their creativity as their
characters train and race almost every kind of animal that is known for speed
in the air and on the ground.
Who is in charge:
Although NE Racing is technically a branch of QCC Racing, the NE Coordinator has
final say on everything that pertains to her branch. Every effort is made to remain
as closely aligned in rules and in spirit with QCC Racing as a whole, however
because NE Racing is far smaller than its sister branch, some regulations are
not yet needed in NE Racing. In short, although she answers to the QCC Racing
Commissioner, the NE Coordinator is the law in her branch. All
questions and suggestions regarding NE Racing should always be
addressed to the Coordinator.
The current NE Racing Coordinator is: Belladonna Maddox (SN: roseofmalice)
Stables and Ownership:
NE Racers may be contained either in their own stable, attached to a QCC horseracing
stable, or owned by an Individual. The limits on numbers of racers vary according
to which setup is used.
An NE-only (NEO) stable is considered a seperate entity and counts toward the
general QCC Racing limit of 3 stables per Group or 1 stable per Individual. A
mixed stable in which both horses and NE's are registered is considered one entity
together.
The procedure for registering a new NEO stable is as follows:
-Submission of the QCC
Racing Commission - Stable/Racer Registration Form
-Stable Registration Fee (includes up to 2 initial racers, maiden or transfer):
1000qc
-Additional Racer Registration Fees:
-Maiden NE: 200qc
-Transfer NE: 50qc
NEO Stables are
limited to a total of 4 racers maximum, whether maiden or transfer, upon initial
registration. Additional registrations are limited to 2 per NE season, whether
maiden or transfer. -Submission of the QCC
Racing Commission - Stable/Racer Registration Form
Potential owners/managers of NEO stables are advised that NE Racing
DOES NOT observe a waiting period, and are therefore encouraged to
submit their paperwork as quickly as possible in order to have their animals
inspected and slotted in the next available NE Racing card.
The procedure for adding NE Racers to an existing QCC Racing stable is as follows:
Mixed stables are limited to 2 registrations per NE season, whether maiden
or transfer.
-Additional Racer Registration fee:
-Maiden NE: 200qc
-Transfer NE: 50qc
The procedure for registering NE's as an Individual owner without registering
a stable is the same as the procedure outlined above for adding NE's to an existing
stable. The Individual is limited to two NE's, whether maiden or transfer, total.
NEO stables are subject to the general QCC Racing limit of 20 racers per stable.
Mixed stables are subject to a limit of 12 NE racers in that section, in addition
to the 20 horse limit imposed by QCC Racing.
Individuals are allowed to own up to 2 NE's without the requirement of registering
as a stable.
Stable and racer registrations are accepted at ANY TIME. There
is no longer a specified registration period for NE's.
Racing Eligibility:
NE's are required to pass a QCC veterinary inspection in order to race.
-NE Vet Fees: 5qc per animal
NE inspections are due no later than the 10th of each odd-numbered month.
Once a valid QCC Vet Check Form has been submitted, all healthy NE's are automatically
slotted to race. A seperate Race Entry Form is NOT REQUIRED
for NE Racing.
NE Racing is scheduled for the odd-numbered months of the year. Specific race
dates will be announced in QCC updates.
Failure to inspect a stable or racers will result in the stable or racers being
placed on inactive status. After two seasons of inactive status, the racers
will be permanently removed from NE Racing and their records expunged.
Representation:
There are six scheduled NE Racing dates per calendar year. Each stable, whether
NEO or mixed, must be represented at 3 or more race dates. Likewise, individually
owned NE's must be represented at 3 or more race dates. Representation may be
fulfilled by either the owner, manager or a designated representative. Failure
to fulfill representation requirements by the end of the calendar year will
result in the stable or individual animals being placed on inactive status pending
fulfillment of the requirement in the following NE racing season.
Stables or individual animals on inactive status are not eligible for inspection
or racing until the representation requirement has been fulfilled. After two
full seasons of NE Racing have elapsed with the stable or animals remaining
inactive, then said stables or animals will be permanently removed from QCC
Racing and their racing records expunged.
A public chart of representation will be maintained for the interest and protection
of stables' and owner's eligibility to participate in NE Racing.
