Gate Blocks

There are eight gate blocks in a race that the umas start in. If there are more than eight umas, then multiple umas will go into some blocks, starting from the outside. If there are less than eight umas, then the later blocks don’t exist.

For example, in CM where there are 9 umas, there are two umas in block 8. In the biggest races, where there are 18 umas, there are three umas in blocks 7 and 8 and two in the rest. Team Trials has twelve umas, so there are two in blocks 5~8.

This adjusts the activation chance of some skills. For example, one might think that Lucky Seven is a 1/8 chance, but in CM, it’s 1/9, and in the biggest races, it’s 3/18 or 1/6. Outer Gate benefits from this quite a bit, being 4/9 in CM and 8/18 in large races, while Inner Gate is 3/9 and 6/18 respectively.

In Team Trials, Lucky Seven is 2/12, Outer Gate is 6/12, and Inner Gate is 3/12.

Though, note that Lucky Seven is only a 50% chance to do something even if you are in gate seven.
