Residency
From Derbyfever.com Wiki
Residencies are player-run sites that allow players to interact in smaller settings. Residencies have evolved over time in size, scope, and purpose.
A typical residency is a collection of several players each of whom designates specific stables as members of that residency. Most residencies operate their own websites and/or message boards for the purpose of member-to-member communications. A few residencies now offer chat rooms for their members to use.
The scope of a residency's activities can vary wildly depending on the members currently involved. Most residencies run both long and short term contests for the benefit and amusement of members. Many also participate in inter-residency competitions. Among these are the Equinics.
Initially most called "home" one or two tracks, but over the years many residencies have expanded to include up to 20 tracks, and many newer residencies eschew calling a specific track or region home. The idea of a residency's home track is important in understanding what types of players are recruited, the contests each residency may sponsor, and where it runs special races.
