To be more realistic, you'll want more teams than just 3. A good example is the famous
Palio in Siena, Italy.
One option is to split each neighborhood up into three sections, giving you nine teams. Another option is to have each deity's temple sponsor a team. But intra- and inter-neighborhood rivalries are a GREAT source of adventures.
Either way, this is really fun. I did something similar in Eversink, where each merchant house sponsored a boat in a race through the canals.
