# Advantage

Your Ocean Racers perform better in certain oceans. Whether it's the water temperature, salinity, the ocean-scape or vegetation…the fact is…they perform better in home waters. 

The "Advantage" trait can be seen as a home ocean advantage and all racers are assigned one of 13 zones:

* North Pacific
* South Pacific
* North Indian
* South Indian
* North Atlantic
* South Atlantic<br>
* Pacific (both)
* Indian (both)
* Atlantic (both)
* South (all 3)
* North (all 3)
* World Ocean (all zones)
* None (no zones)

Each calendar month, the Ocean Racing League hosts it's events in a different Ocean. If a racers advantage matches the Ocean that ORL is hosting races in, **your racer will receive the advantage of +2 Speed**.

*Check The Reef (Racing Dapp) for current ocean advantage.*
