Fillies and Gentlecolts. The Equestria Games Committee would like to announce the first LoE Equestria Games. This is a celebration of the spirit of teamwork and the bonds of friendship throughout all of Equestria! This competition will feature a variety of events and all ponies young and old are welcome to join.

The Games will be held from July 22-28, with events occurring at 12PM and 9PM GMT. You don’t have to show up at both times. The same events will be held at both times with the exception of the Pillow Tag and the Airshow Competition which will only be held at 9PM GMT on their respective days since these require more ponies and coordination ahead of time. The two times are so ponies in different time zones can still participate in the events.

The Opening Ceremony will be held on July 22 at 9PM GMT and will feature an introduction of the Teams, a torch lighting ceremony, a comedy act, and other announcements and fun for ponies of all ages.

Following the Opening Ceremony the schedule for the events is as follows:

Monday, July 23: All Team Relay, Unicorn Teleport Race. – HEARTLANDS (Midway Village)

Tuesday, July 24: Pillow Tag Tournament. – HEARTLANDS PVP ARENA

Wednesday, July 25: Pegasus Airshow and Flight Race. – CLOUDOPOLIS (Cloud Stadium and Flight School)

Thursday, July 26: CK Earth Pony Hoof Race, Unicorn Obstacle Race. (CK Hospital and CK Stadium) Friday, July 27: All Team Cross Country Race, Earth Pony/Unicorn Triathalon. (Midway Village)

Saturday, July 28: Equestria Games Closing Ceremony (Time TBA)

Everypony is welcome to attend the events as a competitor. Ponies who aren’t already on a team will be assigned to the third Crystal Kingdom team. You can check out my Planning thread on the forum for more information and maps of the race routes.

And if you would like to volunteer to help with the events, please let me know either here or when you see me in game.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR MAKING LOE A WONDERFUL PLACE WHERE WE CAN HOLD EVENTS LIKE THIS!!!!!! GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT TIME!
