Signing up[]
You need to sign up to join a competition. One hour before the competition starts, a notice can be seen above the city. It will count down. When the count down has been reached the competition has started and you can join. You can simply do this by clicking this notice. This means that you have to be online in order to participate in a competition. As you can imagine, sometimes this competition will be in the middle of the night. In order to participate in this competition you can either choose to wake up early, or pay 10 gold to automatically participate. An extra benefit of this is that you will always start at the exact moment the countdown has stopped. If you sign up manually, and are not careful, you may start a bit later, which can cost you the first place.
