The Tari'an point system

The Tari'an point system is a system to see how good your horse is. some breeders only want the best horses to breed foals with and this system is made to select these horses.

During this system you can also gain extra breeding spots for your horse.

full body training's are now worth 2.5cp (previously 2cp) since most of them need more detail for adding tack and rider.

---

The Tari'an point count

Horse registered = +1cp
Your horse NEEDS to be registered before you can use this system. this is an extra point you get, simply for registering your horse

-----

Mini Events and competitions
- entering mini event/sketch event picture = 1cp
*A mini event entry is an entry for a show that is judged 100% random or that accept low quality art (headshot, unshaded, sketches, ...)

- entering a competition = 2,5cp

Placing
- 1th place = +2cp
- 2nd place = +1,5cp
- 3rd place = +1cp
- 4rt and lower = 0,5cp _{(placing need to be known!!)}
- Special title (champion, reserve champion, ...) = +3cp

Monthly Theme: fav.me/d9p24bx = + 5cp
-Minimum requirement Full body colored

-----

training
- Full body Image = +2.5cp
-- The training only counts when it's for a sport/discipline. so jumping, dressage, cross country, racing, western, endurance, ... it must be clear that a human is around to train and guide the horse. (this means the horse must wear a halter/bridle/tack, ...)
You MUST add on the training image for what you are training! if it's not written on it, we can't count it as training image as we don't know for what you are training.

- Headshot training picture/Sketch training picture = +1cp
-- The training only counts when it's for a sport/discipline. so jumping, dressage, cross country, racing, western, endurance, ... the horse must weird at least a halter or a bridle.
to make clear it goes about training, you must add a small story about the training (doesn't need to be a book, at least 5 to 10 sentence ....)
-- Sketch training picture must show the horse clearly. For the rest it has the same requirement as a colored pictured

- EquiBREAK Course
--- These can be completed with Marandian's of all ages. One horse can also do the foal course and the horse course. You'll get extra points for completing the course, depending on what grade you got. You can find the courses at the EquiBREAK group
For example, if you get "graduate" score with your foal, who then gets the "top graduate" score as an adult it would get 20cp in total. With the maximum points one horse can get being 25cp.
- Foal Course - Graduate = 5cp
- Foal Course - Top Graduate = 10cp
- Horse Course - Graduate = 5cp
- Horse Course - Top Graduate = 10cp
- If you've completed both the Foal course and the Horse course = 5cp

-----

other Full body pictures, no background
- image = +1cp
-- with no background we mean 1 color background, transparent background, photobackground or just some grass around the feet)

other Full body pictures, with background
- image = +2cp
--  with background we mean a clear scenary (like a forest, the sea ...)

other headshots or partial body shots/Sketches
image = 0,5cp
-- Picture with only the head to 50% of the body shown fall under this category
-- Sketches must show the horse clearly. No difference in points between full body or headshot

Chibi pictures
Currently there is no real points system for chibi's, so they count as the points above (exp: so full body = 1cp. )
HOWEVER, we trust on the fairness of our member to not only draw chibi's of it's Marandians to gain quick points. If we see this matter, we sadly need o take actions. so act fairly, for both you and others

-----

Animation
- Simple animation = +1.5cp
Under simple animation we see '1 actions', like eye blinking, ear flick, breathing, snow, rain ...

- Advanced animation = +3cp
Under advanced animation we see multiple animations at ones (combo of eye blink, ear movement, breathing, ...) to more complex animations (like full body movements, background movements ...)

If you are not sure under what type your animations falls, please take contact with the group by leaving a comment here.

-----

Liturature
-The stories must clearly be about your horse(s). We want to see stories that prominently feature your horse(s), and not just your horse(s) names tossed in now and then. Character development (trainers/handlers/other stable characters) can be a part of the story, but we don't want to see a lot about these characters with only some mentions of your horse(s).
*This section and points may be adjusted over time as this is a new feature to the group.

- 250-499 words: +0.5cp
- 500 words + 1cp
- 1,000 words: +2cp

Word Counter is used: wordcounter.net/

-----

well-done points = +1cp
The well-done points are given out by the admin of the group to people that have made a great piece of art of their Marandian. This piece can be anything, from a fabulous realistic headshot to a perfect example of the breed. Both digital and tradition and of any level can get this extra point.

You can only count this point when an ADMIN has commented on your artwork with the following:
Concrats: This piece got an extra Credit point for showing how beautiful the Marandian breed can be. Well done!!
Keep in mind!! you can only get this point if you have made a picture of your OWN Marandian!! so commissions can not get this point, even if they are a masterpiece. it must be your own work of your own horse.

Rules around the pictures
- Lineart is not allowed, also no re-using line-art. so all picture must be drawn by yourself. reference allowed, though credit is needed.
- backgrounds must be drawn by yourself! so if you have a full body picture with photobackground, then it only counts as a full body picture, with no background.
