River Raceway, one of the Dogcraft Ice Boat League tracks.

The Dogcraft Ice Boat League was a player-run events organization, which runs tournaments using the several ice boat tracks around the server. The sport utilizes the ability of boats to move on ice in the game.

History

The Dogcraft Ice Boat League (DIBL) was founded in September of 2019 by 20.png TrainerMoon and 20.png mperreault. Its inspiration is taken from Rendog's Ice Boat Track "Sahara Speedy Pines Raceway" on Hermitcraft 6. The idea came to 20.png TrainerMoon when racing against various other players at 20.png TickleMeUnicorn's drowned farm where he had had temporarily set up a small ice boat race track for people to race around while loading more mobs for the farm.

After a short unofficial tournament was held at this track, mperreault asked TrainerMoon and 20.png Excaliber_FC to test out his new ice boat track he had quickly designed. After a couple races, TrainerMoon came up with the idea to create a series of race tracks all over the server and host tournaments at these tracks. Thus, the Ice Boat League was born.

Originally it was just run by TrainerMoon and mperreault. However, the two soon enlisted the help of Excaliber_FC to take part as the official League Commissioner. His job is to help run tournaments to make sure they run smoothly, like a referee. They went on to host two tournaments that were both quite successful.

In November of 2019, TrainerMoon hired the help of 20.png expedtadam to terraform the Ice Boat League Headquarters Island. After expedtadam finished the job, TrainerMoon was so astounded at the final product, he officially made him the Geographical Engineer of the Ice Boat League.

Tournaments

  • Inaugural Tournament: The first tournament of the league featured many racers looking to test the waters of this new league. At the time the Ice Boat League was still semi-official. It featured races at MP Iceway, River Raceway, Pharaoh Falls, Baby Park, Scapelane Speedway, and Ouranos Speedway. The prizes were 10k DCD for third place, which went to 20.png nossi345, 20k DCD for second place, which went to 20.png William278, and 30k DCD for first place, which went to 20.png gupta99999. All communication took place over the general voice channel in the official Dogcraft discord causing many hi-jinxes and confusions.
  • Time Zone Tournament: The second tournament of the league featured racers signing up for one of 3 group preliminary rounds, divided between continents. The 3 groups hosted the rounds at hours that catered to Australia/New Zealand, Europe, and North America in timed races at MP Iceway, Pharaoh Falls, and River Raceway. The 6 fastest racers overall were 20.png SmashNoodles, 20.png dmgdog, 20.png SmallerSnail, 20.png Ategon, 20.png SilverLurker, and 20.png L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE, who qualified to race at the finals at Ouranos Speedway. However, several of these 6 finalists could not make it to the final race so runners up had to take their place. The finals were raced by 20.png dmgdog, 20.png Mackaaaa, 20.png Andalarew, 20.png Ategon, 20.png SilverLurker, and 20.png L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE. The prizes were 10k DCD and an enchanted trident either riptide or channeling based on what second place doesn't pick for third place, which went to 20.png SilverLurker, 25k DCD and an enchanted trident of their choice between riptide or channeling for second place, which went to 20.png dmgdog, and 50k DCD and 2 enchanted tridents, 1 channeling and 1 riptide, for first place, which went to 20.png L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE. In addition, TrainerMoon gave all 6 finalists the option for a free commission of 100 stacks of any wood of their choice.


Headquarters

Located in the overworld at coordinates (x: 1104, z: 785), the sunflower plains biome island was discovered by TrainerMoon on his first week on the server in August of 2019. For the next 4 months, the Ice Boat League staff worked together to transform the island into a gorgeous modern beach resort centered on an ancient greek temple. It was connected to the SRN as a branch line from the South Station and was connected to the NTN via the East line at the 1k block marker on the right.
