How this works
Rules
Joining, maps, submissions, bans, and scoring.
1a
Joining as a team
- Your team must have 15 unique players; 3 on sprint, 3 on mile, 3 on medium, 3 on long and 3 on dirt.
- Each player only builds one uma. This uma (and its alternate forms) must not be re-used in the team!
- Each player will only run in that specific distance!
- If your team does not have enough players, you can recruit some free agents or we can help you find another team to merge with.
1b
Joining as a free player
- If you do not have a team, you can still join us as a Free Agent.
- Free Agents get a recruitment board where they can showcase themselves to be picked up by a team, or we can help matchmake you with a team that still needs players.
- You only need to build one uma for the entire tournament!
2
Maps
- Maps are locked. Venue, distance, season, weather, and going are on the home page.
- Each team will have an equal time to build their umas.
- Each team will fight at least 3 times in the group stage, and top 5 teams will advance to the next stage.
3
Submission
- Every team will be pinged to submit their uma screenshot 3 days before tournament starts. Please submit a screenshot of your uma in your designated channels given later. You will have 24 hours.
- After 24 hours of scrutinizing the umas for any illegal skills, you will be pinged again. Please generate and share the practice partner code of the uma you have shared previously.
4
Bans
- No umas are banned.
- All red skills are banned.
- Skills that have debuff effects but are not red are allowed. However we are doing practice partner lobbies and there are no "teams" here so these skills will also hit your friends.

Scoring
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
- Top 5 of every race are eligible to score place points.
- Meta penalty — The uma variant with the most usage across all maps will get a −2 score (even if they don't place top 5). The second and third most popular uma variant will be penalized by −1. Ties share the penalty.
- Oshi buff — If your uma variant is only run by you and no one else, get a +2 when you place top 5. If your uma variant is run by you and only one other person, get a +1 when you place top 5.
- Places 6–9 get 0 place points, but meta penalty still applies. Totals can go below 0.
