Discipline Information Guide

This is the guide towards the usage of the Discipline Information Template. If you've questions regarding the fields in the infobox, clicking the links will take you to a page with information on that field. The notes area is really for the Template:TitlesPS, but may be used for other notes, though they should not be extensive. Unused fields should be removed.

This top area is a good place to give an overview of the sport!

Explain here the method of how the discipline is carried out and the objective.

Evaluation
This area is for information regarding how a performance is judged.

Rules
Explains the rules of the discipline.

Divisions
This explains how participants are divided to be evaluated. The usual divisions are by weight and type, but there may be other categories. There may even be categories within categories like the following example: participants are divided by weight class, lightweight being one of them, but within lightweight, there is a featherweight category for particularly minute dragons, which are evaluated according equivalent standards, and then the scores of each sub-category are compared against each other and the winner of lightweight category are chosen from all within those sub-categories.

Scoring
Covers how a competitor is awarded points such as by time, tallying of points earned during qualifying rounds, starting with a particular score with deductions per fault, and bonuses.

Faults
Covers what is considered a poor execution or misstep, how much is deducted, and how much is acceptable before there is a disqualification.

Equipment
Includes what sort of equipment is used for the execution of a sport including tack, uniform, leads, and obstacles. It also should mention what sort of stock or game is used if applicable.

Preparation
Explains how a potential participant goes about training and conditioning to compete or work in the particular field.

Earning [Rank]
Considers what requirements must be met to earn a particular rank: placement, a qualifying score, required wins, a quantity of credits earned.... Challenges become more elaborate as a dragon climbs in rank and requirements and preparation for the next becomes more rigorous. Copy this section for each title. Remember that a dragon begins by competing to earn their first title, not competing within the first tier.
