Point system


At Lovelyta Ranch & Kennels we strive to be self-sufficient, as real life, competition opportunities and the number of horses/dogs don't always allow for everyone to be individually entered into competitions and gain experience and history that way. We have devised our very own RNG system throughout the years that kept the horses aging without missing out on life, but now in 2021, dogs became included into the system with a brand new system update! Previously, horses needed to reach a certain number of wins, or wins and places to qualify for a higher level, which is now replaced with a point system with which both dogs and horses collect points based on their RNG results to progress through their career.

Operating on a self-sufficient RNG basis allows us to create history for our horses and dogs, but by no means do we consider the effort equal to what HARPG competitions or DARPG titling award.


Horses

Horses compete 5-20 times a year based on their health. 1st places award 3 points, 2nd places award 2 points, while 3rd places award 1 point towards their history score. The following table shows the various levels and their requirements. Racing thoroughbreds vs other breeds have different names for their levels to reflect real life a bit more, but they go through the same levels.

Dogs

Our dogs compete in various fields, and the title sets of each field varies, so we had to vary the point requirements similarly. The performance of dogs gets evaluated in percentages, where 80-100% gives 3 points, 70-80% gives 2 points, and 60-70% gives 1 point towards their next level.
