# Lobbies

Lobbies in Alpaca Dash are generated every 5 minutes with random <mark style="color:blue;">Rules</mark>, <mark style="color:blue;">Entry Fees</mark>, [**Weathers**](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/weather-types), [<mark style="color:green;">**Environments**</mark>](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/environment-types), and [<mark style="color:red;">**Obstacles**</mark>](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/obstacles). The <mark style="color:blue;">Entry Fees</mark> for lobbies range from 1000 DFL to 10000 DFL. Each lobby offers a unique challenge.

**Lobby States**

During the <mark style="color:yellow;">Registration State</mark>, users can register for the race, which has 10 lanes available. Each player can register up to 3 alpacas per race. You can see how many racers are registered and which lanes are taken, but you cannot view other racers' detailed information. After registering, you receive a random set of 10 [**Skills** ](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/skills)from your learned [**Skills** ](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/skills)and can choose 5 of them from this set.

In the <mark style="color:yellow;">Race Preparation State</mark>, you can view the other participants, their chosen [**Skills**](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/skills), and their [**Stats**](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/alpaca-stats). This stage allows you to strategize before the race begins. You can also join the race as it is about to start.

The <mark style="color:yellow;">Live State</mark> allows you to watch the alpacas compete in real-time. The excitement builds as you see your alpacas race against others, navigating [<mark style="color:red;">**Obstacles**</mark> ](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/obstacles)and using their [**Skills**](https://docs.almightyalpacas.com/readme/skills).

Finally, in the <mark style="color:yellow;">Finished State</mark>, you can see the final placements of the alpacas and the distribution of <mark style="color:green;">Rewards</mark>. This is where you find out if your alpacas have made it to the podium and earned a share of the prize pool.
