Chapter 879 - Introduction to the Rules
"At the end of a game, and then after a ten-minute break, five members were sent out again to fight, again for an hour. The game is a best-of-three format, with the winner the first to win two games. The knockout round is a best-of-five format. β
"However, if the game is over with the same score and the number of people standing on the field is still equal, a 30-minute extra game will be played. If the extra game still can't be decided, then the two sides are considered a draw. There is no tie in the knockout rounds, and if there is still no winner between the two sides, then the play-offs will continue until a winner is determined between the two sides. β
"In the case of the group stage, the winner will get three points, and in the event of a draw, both sides will get one point. After the first round of the group stage, the two guilds with the highest points in the group will win and participate in the next 16-8 knockout round. If there are teams with the same number of points after the group stage, then the team with the largest number of players will be given priority to qualify, depending on the number of players left on the field after all the matches. β
"You can't make substitutions during the game, but you can make any substitutions at half-time and there is no limit to the number of substitutions."
"Then, it's the rules of the game."
After saying the general rules, the parrot host paused for a moment, let the scroll with the rules written behind him roll up slightly, and when another scroll opened, he continuedβ
"The protection measures for this Guild Championship Battle will be the responsibility of the Holy See of Light. Before the last match, each participating adventurer will be blessed by the priest of the Holy See of Light. After receiving the blessing, any damage suffered by both parties will be negated, but correspondingly, the pain after receiving the damage will not disappear as a result. And in order to give an advantage to some members who may have a strong resistance to pain, we have also increased the point system for referees. The table of the specific points system is shown on the reels. β
All the adventurers raised their heads and looked at the points rules displayed on the reels.
Basically, if you are attacked on a vital part such as the head, chest, abdomen, etc., you will accumulate a lot of points for the opponent. In addition, if you receive a joint skill or some magic that can cause a lot of damage if you touch it, it will also cause a lot of bonus points to the opponent.
"The specific points situation, and the heads of the various unions can send representatives to me to get the reels of the competition rules."
After saying this, the host exhaled a little and continued-
"So, during the game, you can rest assured that there is absolutely no life safety in this place! Compared to the lack of safety for your life, it can even be said that it provides you with sufficient protection, so I hope you can fight as best you can! Fight an aggressive and spectacular guild war! β
"After that, there are the rules about the weapons and props to be used in the game."
"Overall, there are no restrictions on the weapons or magic used in the game. I hope you can bring out the best in yourself as much as possible. However, there are some restrictions on the competition when it comes to props. β
"If a guild wins the championship since participating in the knockout rounds, it will have a total of seven battles. Therefore, each guild is only allowed to use seven potions or other medicines that improve their own strength or have a special effect throughout the tournament. You can use up all seven flasks in a match, or you can use one flask per match, the choice is yours. But never more than seven. Moreover, the efficacy and time limit of each drug need to be advanced filing, but please rest assured that we do not publish the specific circumstances of the filing, but only use it for supervision. If a guild uses an excess potion in battle, the opposing guild will be given extra points depending on the effect of the potion. So, think twice. β
"However, there is one point that needs to be specifically stated that therapeutic drugs are also counted in the number of these seven medicines, but if they are used, the points obtained by the other party will be deducted. The specific number of points depends on the specific content of the treatment. β
"That's all the adventurers from the thirty Guild Championships present need to know. It's a bit much, but it's written in detail on the scroll, so please feel free to study it once you get it! β
While the host was speaking, there was indeed a hostess who came out of the passage with boxes one by one and handed them to each guild separately.
Arrow opened the box, took the scroll out of it, opened it, and glanced at it cursoryly, not much different from what the host had said.
But that's not all......
"Then there's the situation about the candidates!"
After all thirty guilds had gotten the scrolls, the host turned his head and looked at the ten alternate guilds in the cornerβ
"You're going to fight for the two remaining finals spots. Since you don't have an official Guild Championship Tournament, you can send up to ten members of your guild to have a ten-way melee in this arena in a while. The time limit is two hours, and if the members of two guilds are still standing before the time expires, then those two guilds will be able to make it to the finals. β
"If there are more than two guilds standing on the field after the end of the match time, then the winner or loser is determined by the number of people standing. Just like in the official tournament, you can also use flasks. However, it is also limited to seven. So, don't patronize the melee for a while, and use up all the life-saving potions~~! β
"And then! It's the most important part of the process of producing the last two finalists! β
The host clapped his hands, turned his head, and faced Arrow and a large number of guilds again, and said with a smile-
"In order to make up for the amount of effort you have spent on reaching the Grand Finals, after the last two finalist guilds of the candidates appear, the guilds present can choose to challenge them immediately. In other words, if you wish, you can fight these candidates without having to wait for the group draw. I'm sure you'll be able to gain a big advantage against the candidates who have just gone through two hours of fierce battle, right? β
Arrow pinched his chin and began to think, while some of the other guild leaders began to take the plunge, and some gave the candidate guilds a disdainful look.
Whatever the idea, however, taking the initiative against an exhausted guild should be a way to win.
Compared to the guilds that have already entered the finals, the faces of the ten alternate guild members over there have not changed. Looks like they knew this was going to happen.
"If there are many guilds that want to fight the victor among those candidates, then it's easy. I'm sure you all got an Imperial Badge when you received the scroll. When the time is over on the alternate side, you can put the badge in the box on my side. The first two guilds to put their badges in will be eligible to challenge the alternate winners! β
Arrow weighed the scroll in his hand slightly, rubbed it and opened it again. Sure enough, at the bottom of the scroll was a small imperial coat of arms. The front of the badge is the flag of the Blue Bay Empire, and the reverse side is the badge of the Mermaid Song.
"Now, do you understand? If that's not the problem, let's start looking forward to the guild championship battle! And, let's all wait and see how our candidates enter the arena for the official first battle of our Guild Championship Battleββ!!! β
Whoopββββ
The entire arena began to erupt in thunderous cheers!
All the emotions of the audience have been mobilized now, after all, this is the game they have been waiting for for a long time! Only a fool will not be thrilled at this time!
Not only inside the arena, but even outside the arena was now full of people, and every spectator was now listening eagerly to the voices coming from inside, hoping to determine the situation of the game through those cheers.
Presumably, several handicaps have been opened somewhere in the city now, right? This must be a steady stream of cash flow, and now that I think about it, the final winner of the guild championship battle was only rewarded with a measly 500 gold coins, which is really a bit less.
Along with the other guilds, Merfolk Song began to move towards the rest area at the edge of the arena. After all the adventurers of the thirty guilds were now seated in the rest area, the candidates now began to slowly walk to the center of the arena. Then, several priests took the stage and blessed the adventurers.
Looking at the battle team on the field, which had gradually dispersed into guilds, the expression on Arrow's face was lost in thought. He pinched his chin slightly, his gaze constantly scanning the faces of the candidates, the audience, the host, and the members of the thirty guilds next to him, thinking about the current situation.
"Then I announce! Now the game ...... Begin! β
With the host's order, the entire arena immediately began to rise with the sound of shouting and killing all day long! Swords, swords, shadows, and all kinds of magical elements began to shuttle back and forth on this battlefield, and just such a prologue battle made the audience next to them look at the blood of their blood, and they couldn't help but cheer loudly and dance with their hands.
