Umamusume Pretty Derby: Champions Meet Overview

A Champions Meet event takes place on a specific racetrack with fixed conditions. For example, the first Champions Meet for the Global Version will be a 24000m Medium race in the Tokyo racecourse. Participating umas’ moods will be randomized in the first two rounds but will be set to “Great” in the Final Round.
Graded vs Open
Champions Meet is a competitive PvP event that allows players to participate in either a Graded or Open Championship.
- Open Championships only admit umas at A+ rank and below, offering significantly poorer rewards than a Graded Championship.
- Graded Championships have no upper rank cap for participating umas and provide better rewards at every stage of progress.
- Once you race in either category, you will be locked into it for the duration of the event.
Rounds
The Champions Meet event hosts two heats rounds, followed by a Final Round.
- Each round lasts two days.
- You can use entry tickets to make attempts in a round. You will have access to four tickets each day, three free and one bought through Carats.
- A single entry ticket will pit your chosen team of three umas against two other players’ teams in five races.
- The opposing players will be different in each race.
- Winning one race in a round progresses you to the next round or the finale.
Round 1
- Win more than 3 races to advance to Group A (winner’s bracket) for Round 2.
- Winning less than 3 races puts you in Group B for Round 2.
- Not winning a single race disqualifies you from the event.
Round 2
- Win more than 3 races in Group A to continue to the Group A Finals.
- Winning less than 3 races places you in Group B Finals.
- Win at least once in Group B to advance to the Group B Finals.
- Group B participants cannot move to Group A.
Final Round
There is only one race and one attempt in the Final Round of the Champions Meet. Unlike the races of each round, the final race will not take place in real time. You register your team for the event and await the results. If your uma claims first place, you become a championship winner, reaping bountiful rewards. If not, you still get generous consolation prizes.
