Every second spent on changing the event up, is a second not spent on fixing dodge and adding new blooms.

I honestly don't believe that the order is set in stone, because you're right: it wouldn't be even remotely a good use for development time to spend on manually altering the race results since the worst case scenario is players can clear the event shop a few days early. It makes far more sense that the routine that handles the race is simply based on RNG with weighted elements.

I suppose the real question is this: has DMM had reissued swan race events? If so, were those results the same? If yes, then the results are manually set and the Nutaku devs are wasting their time. If no, then the determination is most likely RNG.
