Chapter 151: Contest Rules
All 129 teams have completed their debut.
After a brief speech, the dean of the Martial Arts College of Modu University stepped down from the stage, and a staff member from the Education Bureau introduced the rules of the competition to the 129 participating teams.
The competition is divided into martial arts competition, military competition and academic competition.
The three are 100 points, 60 points, and 40 points respectively.
The rules of the military competition and the academic competition have been the same over the years, and the military competition will be carried out through the virtual battlefield system of Virtual Battlefield System, abbreviated as VBS.
This tactical system is a simulation game developed from the early prevalent real-time strategy games, and has been developed with a lot of real combat elements.
In fact, it is a game, but it can no longer be positioned as a game.
This virtual battlefield system includes many aspects such as pre-war operation, data analysis, integration of war funds, fund mobilization, scientific and technological research and development, training and matching of combat units, combat deployment, battlefield command, etc., and can simulate the actual battlefield almost one-to-one.
A VBS match, often lasting more than 5 hours, requires the full attention and cooperation of 15 players.
For many years, the VBS has become the main project of the military academies of various universities, and it turns out that those who excel in the VBS will also show extraordinary combat qualities after entering the real battlefield in the future.
This military competition is participated by 129 teams, with the goal of fighting against the tide of beasts to simulate the defense of the city, and finally based on the performance level in the battle, the system will give a score of 0-60 points, taking into account the time of defending the city and the number of alien beasts eliminated.
Of course, since the start of the competition, no team has ever received a perfect score, and the best result is the record of 58 points held by Imperial Capital University six years ago.
The academic competition also adopts the rules of a round to determine the winner or loser, with a scientific research project as the theme, a team of 30 people from each university completes a work, and finally the referee team from the Ministry of Education will judge and give a score of 0 to 40 points.
Compared with the fixed rules of military competitions and academic competitions, the rules of previous martial arts competitions are more diversified.
There are three modes of martial arts competitions, and before each competition, the Ministry of Education decides which mode to adopt.
The three modes are one-on-one wheel battles, team battles, and captain's points battles.
The so-called wheel battle is when two teams fight, send a team member to fight at random, the loser withdraws, and the winner continues until all five people on one side are defeated.
Because of the ability to repeat battles, wheel warfare tests the absolute strength of the strongest in a team.
In a team battle, five people from both sides directly engage in a ten-person melee, which pays more attention to team attributes.
The captain's points battle used in this tournament is relatively balanced, emphasizing the importance of the strongest in the team, but also not ignoring the value of the rest of the players.
The captain's points battle is also a one-on-one match between the two sides, a total of five games, no repeated appearances, and the winner cannot continue to challenge.
Each team must select a captain in advance before the start of the competition, and the remaining four are team members. The captains of the two pairs must take the stage in the fifth game for a king-to-king collision.
In the other four races, the respective captains handed over the order of participation to the referee in advance to avoid horse racing.
Among them, in the team battle, the winner will add 1 small point, and in the captain battle, the winner will add 3 points. Five games, a total of 7 points, the winner with 4 points.
Under such battle rules, it is undoubtedly crucial for the captain battle to occupy 3 out of 4 points, but again, if all 4 players of one side lose in the team battle, then even if the team leader wins the captain battle, he will not be able to recover.
Therefore, when a team loses four consecutive games in a team battle, it will not play a captain battle again, but will directly lose it.
And the most cruel point of the martial arts competition is that there is no substitute for the five-person team!
In other words, how to preserve the integrity of the team as much as possible while ensuring victory is a compulsory course for every team.
Even though the excellent medical conditions allow the injured to be treated much faster, the severity of the injury can still cause the player to leave the field early.
What's more, before the competition, the players need to sign a life and death certificate, and the martial arts competition will kill people!
And when the team can't get together five people to play, some points are gone before the game starts.
In addition, there is a special rule for the captain's points battle, but this rule has rarely been used since the martial arts tournament was held, so it is no longer mentioned.
…………
In the hotel, in Song Lu's luxurious suite, the other four players of the Nanda Martial Arts Department and Song Lu all looked at Xiang Chen with a strange gaze.
Xiang Chen grinned awkwardly: "I said, you don't have to do this, right..."
"Niu, you Niu, you are really lucky...... Li Zitong exclaimed with admiration on his face.
In the lottery ceremony at the end of the morning, Xiang Chen, as the representative of Nanda, was directly drawn to the group where the magic university was located, and this was the scene in the afternoon.
Last year's NTU was in a group, but I didn't expect it to be the case this year.
The 129 participating teams in the martial arts competition are divided into 16 groups of 8 teams each, and one group has 9 teams.
Among them, two giants and nine strong schools are seeded teams in 11 different groups.
The eight teams in each group will play a round-robin match against all other teams, with the top two teams in the final win qualifying.
The 32 teams that qualified advanced to the round of 32 and played a knockout round to determine the final champion.
There is no doubt that for the other participating teams, the unseeded five groups are ideal, while the seeded teams will have to fight for a second qualifying spot.
As for the military and academic competitions, due to their short duration, they will be held after the group stage of the martial arts tournament, while providing a healing process for the elimination of the 32 teams.
Song Lu saw that everyone's morale was not high, and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention: "Okay, anyway, as long as you are second, you can qualify, it doesn't matter if it is Modu University or not." Overall, the situation of our group is good, and if we want to rank second, we only need to go through two tough battles. ”
Saying that, Song Lu called up some information in the warrior bracelet and said: "Lanzhou University, the leading university in Lanzhou An'an City, Gansu Province, ranked 39th last year, 8 places higher than us. Then there is the Tianjin Martial Arts Academy, which ranked second in Tianjin Safety City, ranking 63 in the last session. As for the rest, it is not enough to pose a threat. ”
