Rounds

The first two rounds last for two days each, and you can enter up to 4 times per day, with each entry being 5 races. So, in each of the first two rounds, you have 8 opportunities to get a good score. Your best score is all that matters, so don’t be scared to keep using entries after advancing to Group A.

If you for some reason want to avoid getting into Group A, e.g. you think you wouldn’t be able to get 2 wins in Round 2 Group A, you can retire the run after getting 2 wins. In Round 2, you might as well keep going, since 3rd in Group A Finals is almost as good as 1st in Group B Finals.

The Final Round is only a single race. After Round 2, there will be a 12 hour period where you can register the umas you’ll use in the Final Round. If you don’t register any, it will use the umas you used for your last entry. Then, there will be a matching period where the game chooses who your opponents will be. After that, you can see the results.

You will race against other players, but you may not race them at the same time. People have raced against my umas in CM while I was asleep before. I’m not sure if it’s always asynchronous like that or if it only sometimes is (e.g. during long queue times).
