Chapter 893: Changing the Tournament Format
Su Rui is skeptical about the fairness of the bicycle design competition.
Of course, if he could, he would also like to see a fair and open competition, so that the entries can compete fairly.
But there are some things that can happen without Su Rui's thoughts, and in this kind of thing, he still can't fully trust the organizer's discipline, even if this competition is a professional-level event.
Before the start of the final, he was vaguely worried, and after the official start of the match, his worries were completely amplified.
Because, as soon as the finals began, the organizer announced a change in the competition system and was more inclined to the voting of the judges, which means that the on-site judges have higher voting rights and can determine the probability of winning the entries higher.
In previous competitions, the voting weight of the judges and the audience was half each, and the voting rights were the same, and they all voted according to the 100-point system.
For example, among the ten judges, if five judges vote, then according to the weight, you can get 2.5 points, and among the 100 audiences, if you get 50 audience votes, it is also 2.5 points, and the total score is 5 points, and then according to the score of the entry, the highest score is naturally the champion.
In this competition system, the proportion of votes for the judges and the audience is the same, with half each.
But now, this competition system has suddenly changed tonight, and the proportion of judges' voting has suddenly increased significantly, from half of the original to eighty.
This means that among the same ten judges, five people voted, and according to the weight, they can get four points, while the same 100 viewers can get 50 votes, according to the weight, they can only get 1 point, and the total score is only five points.
Although the score is also 5 points, there is a big change in it, which means that the judges have more power to decide the ranking of the entries, while the rights of the audience have been reduced to a very low level.
This change means that entries that are more pleasing to the judges are more likely to win the championship, while entries that are liked by the audience are not necessarily the same.
The most important thing is that this is a great benefit for the entries of big brands, these judges will be more or less related to these big brands, and they will take more care of the entries of these brands, but for the entries of new brands, this is undoubtedly a great disadvantage, and before you could impress the audience, you can get the hope of winning, but now this road has basically been blocked, and the hope of winning is even slimmer.
The sudden change in the format of this competition had to make Su Rui wonder if the intention of the host city to do this was to better manipulate the results of the competition.
If it is not for better manipulation of the results of the competition, then why would the competition system be changed suddenly, even if it is a very common thing to change the competition system, but it will be changed in advance, rather than after the start of the finals, the change of the competition system will be temporarily announced, which will undoubtedly affect the professionalism and openness of the event.
But now, the organizers are ignoring this impact and still want to temporarily change the format before the finals begin, which has to make people suspicious.
Of course, if this just made Su Rui suspicious and not completely sure, then the next judges' evaluation made him completely sure of this, and it was no longer as simple as doubt.
Before today, these judges rated the lightspeed road bike extremely highly, even if the judges did not give a good evaluation, but at least they were to the point, otherwise they just did not express their position, and did not give a bad evaluation of the lightspeed road bike, which has never happened.
And now, in the finals, most of these judges have suddenly changed their previous attitudes, from the previous positive attitude to the current questioning attitude, and the evaluations they give are very poor.
Perhaps the speed of light road bike is impeccable, these judges' temporary evaluations, almost all of them are made out of nothing, and they are not professional evaluations when they hear it, and they want to find out the shortcomings, but they find that there are no shortcomings to say, so they can only talk casually, resulting in a greatly reduced professionalism and credibility.
Judging from these evaluations, it can be seen that these judges are definitely not starting from fairness on the road bike at the speed of light, but with some purpose.
About this, most viewers can tell.
Therefore, everyone also knows that these judges deliberately commented like this, deliberately aiming at the speed of light road bikes, and there is no professionalism at all.
After seeing the comments of these judges, Su Rui naturally became more suspicious, thinking that the organizer of the bicycle design competition was intentional, perhaps this is aimed at the speed of light road cycling, which is too likely.
There is no way, the light-speed road bike is now the favorite to win the championship, and the other entries are far inferior to the light-speed road bike.
In such a situation, if the event organizers are deliberately targeted, then the light-speed road bike is naturally the most likely to be targeted, and the change in attitude of these judges can make this more certain.
If these judges are to evaluate the speed of light road bike with a fair attitude, if they want to say the shortcomings, then they must also find out the real shortcomings, instead of casually finding an excuse to say the shortcomings that everyone believes and admits, then Su Rui will still think that he is too careful, but now so many judges have suddenly changed their attitudes, and the shortcomings they said are basically not the same as the speed of light road bikes, and there is no professionalism at all, which has to make him doubt the fairness of these judges and the event.
It can be said that the black box operation that Su Rui was worried about seems to be being staged now, in front of a large audience.
After this kind of thing happened, the discussion on the Internet basically broke out, and everyone who paid attention to this game couldn't help but post on the Internet, especially the domestic audience, which was even more turbulent.
Su Rui took a look and found that there were more people who supported the light-speed road bike, and there were more people who were upset about the light-speed road bike, which made him very pleased, even if the competition was unfair, but at least the audience's eyes were still bright, and they were not fooled by the organizers, which is the most important point.
If the audience is fooled by the organizers, then he will have to worry about the sales of the light-speed road bike after it is launched.
But now it seems that Su Rui doesn't have to worry about this, and now the Internet is fighting about the light-speed road bike, and there are many people who think that the competition is unfair.
In this way, even if the result of the race is not satisfactory, it will not affect the sales of road bikes at the speed of light.
