Chapter 184: The Rules of the Contest (Part II)
Speaking of this, the master paused, "That's the general rule, if there is anything to add, I will tell you during the game." Now, let me tell you about the format of this competition. ”
As he spoke, the master picked up a prepared stick from the side and drew two circles on the ground.
"These two circles represent the two empires." Then, he drew a small circle next to the two large circles that connected with the two circles at the same time, "This represents the Martial Spirit Palace." ”
"Among the two empires, the total number of high-level soul master academies has increased by nearly a hundred. Each academy will have a share of the competition, and each of the two empires will have an official high-level soul master academy, which will occupy two shares. Like the Heaven Dou Empire, it is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy you know. The share of these two official high-level soul master academies is divided into the home team and the side team. The home team will qualify directly for the final qualifiers. This is also a guarantee of face for the royal families of the two empires. The vice-team will participate in the preliminaries along with the soul master teams of other academies. ”
The master drew several smaller circles within the two large circles, "The qualifiers are divided. Among them, on the side of our Heaven Dou Empire, with Heaven Dou City as the center, within the Heaven Dou Empire, all high-level soul master academies that do not belong to other kingdoms and principalities will be held in the Heaven Dou City Division. The high-level soul master academies of each kingdom and principality will conduct preliminaries according to the division of countries. The Heaven Dou Empire has a total of four kingdoms and one principality. In other words, counting the Heaven Dou City Division, there will be a total of six qualifier divisions on the Heaven Dou Empire's side. In addition to the one team that has already been guaranteed to enter the finals, the six divisions will compete for fifteen places. Among them, the Heaven Dou City Division has a large number of high-level soul master academies and is a direct division of the empire, so the number of places to qualify will be five. The other four kingdoms and one principality will have two qualifying spots in each division. The situation in the Star Luo Empire was almost the same as that of the Heaven Dou Empire. ”
"In other words, through the qualifiers, the soul master teams that will enter the next stage will be thirty. All 30 teams will compete in the Grand Final. But before participating in the Grand Finals, there is still a qualifier. The so-called qualifier is actually a ranking match for the teams that have already entered the finals. The order of appearances in the Grand Final is determined according to the ranking order. ”
"The format of the qualifiers and qualifiers is not the same. The qualifiers will be played in the way you are most familiar with team battles. In a single round-robin format, the team with the highest winning points in each preliminary division will enter the qualifying round. And the qualifiers will be played in a special way. Although the participating teams still sent seven students, they faced each other one by one. The winner stays on the field, and the loser continues to field the cadets until all the cadets on one side fail. ”
"Therefore, the qualifiers can be said to be a competition to show the strength of the team, and the qualifiers are a stage to show the strength of the individual. The reason why there is a promotion tournament is to allow the two empires and the high-level leaders of the Martial Spirit Hall to better recognize some particularly outstanding young soul masters from these participating students. ”
"There will be a total of 33 teams participating in the finals, and lots will be drawn for a brutal knockout round."
"Master, wait a minute." This time it was Oscar who spoke, and he said suspiciously: "Master, you just said that there is one seeded team for each of the two empires, and there are fifteen teams for each of the qualifiers and qualifiers. In this way, the teams participating in the finals should be thirty-two, where are the thirty-three? ”
The master smiled slightly and said, "I forgot to say it." The seeded teams in the finals are not just two, but three, and this third team is the team guaranteed by the Wuhun Palace. It can also be said to be the most competitive team. Although the Martial Soul Hall is not a high-level soul master academy, they also have their own special institution for cultivating soul masters. In the previous three Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competitions, except for the Star Luo Empire, which had won the championship once, the other two championships were won by the team sent by the Martial Spirit Palace. They will also be your strongest competitors in the future. According to my experience and conservative estimates, the soul master team sent by the Wuhun Hall is definitely stronger than the Emperor Dou clan you have seen. ”
Everyone looked at each other, but their eyes were not full of worry, but intense curiosity and excitement.
After so many soul fights, they have also become an unprecedented level 30 gold fighting soul team, and what they crave is a powerful opponent. Without a strong opponent, how can you hone yourself better?
"The rankings of the qualifiers will be held separately from the two empires, from one to fifteen. The benefits of this ranking will be evident in the Grand Final. The finals will be conducted in a knockout format. In each round, several teams will have byes. In the first round, there will be three seeded teams with byes. Thirty other teams competed against each other, and the winning fifteen teams competed in the next round. In the second round, counting the three seeded teams, there are a total of eighteen teams. At this time, among the remaining teams, the top two teams in the qualifiers will have a bye. Eight of the remaining sixteen teams will advance to the third round. There are only ten teams left in the third round, and the top two teams in the ranking tournament still have byes. Teams that already have a bye will not have a second bye. After the third round, the remaining teams will be six. That is, the final six of the competition. There will be no bye queues at this time. In the fourth round, six teams passed the draw and competed. The final top three will be decided. The final ranking of the top three is determined to be fair, and it needs to be fought through two methods: team battles and individual elimination battles. ”
"First of all, it's an individual knockout match, which is a qualifier format. The three teams are played in a fighting style. Each side sent seven players. Take turns playing. The loser is eliminated, and the winner moves on to the next opponent. Until all the students of the other two academies are eliminated, the winning academy will be directly promoted. The other two houses will play a team battle to determine the other place to advance, and the final team battle final will be played against the team that previously advanced through individual elimination. ”
After listening to the master's story, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say, "Master, why is this competition so complicated?" I was a little dizzy to listen to. ”
Dai Mubai said angrily: "What's there to be dizzy, no matter what the competition system is, as long as we are undefeated, isn't the final champion ours?" ”
The master bowed his head slightly and said, "What Mu Bai said is right. Of course, the format should be familiar, but in the face of absolute strength, these are not the most important. In the course of the tournament, I will remind you of the format and analyze the opponents you will be upside down. Get up. In the last few days, what you have to do is a tactical exercise. Oh, by the way, there's something I have to warn you about. In the qualifiers of the Heaven Dou City Division, you little monsters can only play three at the same time. Among them, Rong Rong will definitely not play in the qualifiers, and I will give her special training during this time. ”
"Huh? Can only go on three? At this moment, even Tang San couldn't help but be surprised.
The master grimaced and said, "What? Do you have an opinion? The players who will definitely play in the qualifiers include Tyrone, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling and Jiang Zhu. The other three spots are up to you. Except for Rongrong. ”
Tang San asked tentatively, "Teacher, is this to preserve strength?" Only, what if we lose? ”
The master said indifferently: "What? Don't you even have that kind of faith? Your real opponents are in the qualifiers, in the finals, not in the qualifiers. If you expose all your own strength to your opponents at this time, then how difficult will the road ahead become? ”
After listening to the master's words, Tang San thought for a moment, exchanged his eyes with Dai Mubai, and then nodded and said, "Teacher, I understand." ”
Tang Tian was also confused, "When I got to the competition system, I didn't understand what you were saying." ”
Ning Rongrong blinked his two beautiful big eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Tian, in fact, you don't need to understand, I will tell you, you just have to be reckless." ”
"Rongrong, even if you are my girlfriend, you can't frame me. Do you think I look like that kind of reckless person? ”
Ning Rongrong smiled: "Of course not, you are obvious..."
The master swallowed back the words he was about to say to Tang Tian, and instead patted his other proud disciple on the shoulder, "I know you'll understand. Xiaotian doesn't like to take care of this kind of thing, so you are responsible for the tactical arrangement on the field. It's up to you to decide who you want to attend. What I can remind you is that in the qualifiers, the fewer you little monsters show up, the better. In the Grand Final, you'll face opponents who are stronger than you ever imagined. And you have only one goal. Let's work hard for this goal. ”
Tang Tiandao: "If Rong Rong doesn't play, then I will play as an auxiliary soul master." ”
Dai Mubai and Tang San almost laughed, "Hahaha, if you play, we won't protect the auxiliary soul master." ”
Oscar said: "As long as the other side dares to cut you, you will definitely be out of the game." ”
Tang Tian ignored everyone's whiskers and patted his horse, "Little San, you and Xiao Wu go back to the Holy Soul Village, and then the soul ring problem of the two of you will be settled." ”
The master also nodded and said, "Go home quickly, junior, the soul ring issue is very important." That's all for today, disbanded, if you don't want to go home, you can come to me for special training alone. ”
"Eat and drink in the evening?"
"Absolutely."
After dinner, Tang Tian gave his flying soul ** to Tang San, "Go and come back quickly, if you have any doubts, ask Daddy for clarity at a time, I will go to the remaining few families of the four major families of the single attribute to unite together." ”
After speaking, Tang Tian patted the old brother who had followed him for many years, "Chitu, I'm sorry for you." ”
In the next few days, several substitutes from Shrek Academy began to practice tactics under the leadership of the master, and spent every day in the run-in.
