Uma Musume’s “Taurus Cup” kicks off this week with new PvP races
The next major competitive player-versus-player event in the popular mobile game Uma Musume Pretty Derby, the “Champions Meeting: Taurus Cup,” is set to begin.
A Champions Meeting is a multi-day race event where trainers from around the world compete in real time by registering a team of three of their best-trained horse girls.
The race for this month’s “Taurus Cup” will be held at the Tokyo Racecourse.
The specific race conditions are a 2,400-meter turf race on a left-handed track, held in the spring season with sunny weather and firm ground.
The event is split into two different leagues that trainers can choose to enter.
The “Graded League” has no restrictions, allowing trainers to enter their most powerful horse girls.
The “Open League” is restricted to horse girls with a Career Rank of B or lower, offering a different strategic challenge.
The tournament is held in three rounds over the course of a week.
Round 1 and Round 2 are preliminary rounds, where trainers compete in a series of five races per entry to qualify for the next stage.
Based on their number of wins, trainers will be sorted into either a highly competitive “Group A” or a standard “Group B” for the subsequent rounds.
The Final Round is a single, decisive race between the top qualifying trainers from each group to determine the ultimate champion.
Winners of the final race will be awarded an exclusive, event-specific title, such as the “Taurus Cup Platinum” title for the first-place winner of the Graded League’s Group A final.
Special daily missions will also be available during the preliminary rounds, allowing trainers to earn free “Taurus Cup Entry Tickets” for extra attempts.
The “Champions Meeting: Taurus Cup” is scheduled to begin on Thursday, the 21st of August, at 10:00 PM UTC, and will run until the 27th of August.
