Team Trials is the PvP mode in Umamusume: Pretty Derby that ranks all players within a particular Class by the score they accumulate in matches. The scoring system itself is fairly complex, with teams often gaining a higher score while losing than they do by winning. This guide will break down the game’s scoring system in a simple manner to explore its mechanics, starting with a summary, followed by a detailed explanation.

Scoring in Team Trials is broadly dependent on:

  • Victory
  • Finishing Positions
  • Team Placing
  • Win Margin
  • Target Time
  • Skills
  • Race Positioning

Bonus multipliers apply to the categories listed above. They include: 

  • Ace bonus
  • Opponent rating bonus
  • Support bonus
  • Streak Bonus

Key Takeaways

  • Opponent rating bonus is the largest multiplier and applies to each score category.
    • Play against the highest-ranked opponent possible every time.
  • Place the veteran uma most likely to win in the “Ace” position in each category to benefit from the Ace bonus.
    • Go to edit team, select the topmost position with the “Ace” tag, and choose your best veteran uma for that slot.
  • Rare skills are more score-efficient than regular skills.
  • Upgrade Support Cards whenever possible to increase the support bonus.
  • All three umas on the team should place within the first 5 positions for a substantial bonus.
  • Form a fully rounded, powerful team to accumulate streak bonuses. Avoid leaving weak links on your team.
  • Winning overall isn’t the main factor for receiving a high score.
