After the draw, once the map plan of the game is determined, the environmental conditions for the two teams to compete are basically determined, and the next step is when the teams carefully analyze and consider and line up.

The drawing of lots to determine the conditions of the game is somewhat similar to the nature of the modern battlefield, where the situation changes rapidly.

In the schedule of the national selection tournament and even IFT, the team itself cannot decide which environment setting, AI arrangement and victory conditions to use to restrict the game, and the draw is only placed on the day before the game, in other words, this arrangement has higher requirements for the adaptability of team members, and it is simply too late to temporarily strengthen training for the game setting, which can not only comprehensively consider the ability of the team and players, but also add some exciting variables to the game process, so the rules are set like this.

The next day there was going to be a lot, and it was completely impossible to predict what would be drawn, and Long Yun didn't think much about it.

However, after dinner, knowing that two days later would be the first appearance of "Chenlong" in the national trials, Shangguan Ling took the initiative to find Long Yun and pulled him to sit down and talk in the living room on the first floor.

Unlike Su Xue, who loves Wu and Wu but is a complete layman, Ling still has some understanding of aviation competition, she first asked about the team's preparations, and also asked about the specific time arrangement. While speaking, knowing that each single round-robin match in the national selection competition includes two links, maybe it will be a whole morning, and the eldest lady is quite concerned about asking him to "pay attention to rest", and then asked about the draw:

"'Draw', why didn't you have it in the previous game?

Is it the decision on the venue of the competition, and what kind of process is it, you can talk about it. ”

"Okay. Actually. This 'draw' is really important. - Of course, I'm not talking about luck, but it's about the specific arrangement of the game. ”

Since his boss asked, Long Yun just explained to Ling that he also attached great importance to this draw, for no other reason, the result of the draw had a great impact on the game.

The IFT National Selection Tournament is different from the previous "one game to determine the winner" in the process of the regional qualifiers. The maximum number of points for three "heads-up" and one "team battle" is twelve, and the two teams each grab points, and whoever has the highest score wins—of course, winning or losing itself is of little use to the team's position, it is just a symbol of attention; The so-called "lottery",In fact, it has nothing to do with the first three "heads-up",One-on-one anyway is BVR first、Then dog fight,What the draw wants to decide is actually the "team battle" game map,And the mission objectives attached to the map environment。

IFT, and even other important aviation competitions, is not limited to duels between fighter jets. This is important for both the tournament itself and the revenue from the event.

Specific to the arrangement of "team battles", two days before the match day. The two teams will send representatives to the organizing committee to draw lots on the computer under the supervision of the staff; As for the specific rules, it's a little more complicated.

In order to ensure the fairness of each game, during the draw, the organizing committee members of the competition committee will randomly select three maps, that is, the virtual setting scheme of the competition area, from the IFT standard environment number jù Curry, and after the plan is made public, the two teams will consider and propose a choice to explain which scheme they want to use; Next, if the maps chosen by both teams coincide, the match will be played directly with this option, and if the maps selected by both teams are different, the match will be played using the option that neither player has chosen.

The rules are probably like this, as for what plan to choose, this needs to be considered by each team, and Long Yun will want to take a break the day before.

The draw for the first battle of the selection competition, as the captain of "Chenlong" and the first brother, it is best for him to go out in person, as for how to choose after seeing the three options, the time for both sides to think is also limited, in this regard, the team members can provide some advice, but in the end the idea has to be taken by himself.

I am more concerned about aviation competitions, but this is the first time I have heard of the "lottery", and the interested Shangguan Ling asked a few more questions, and after completely understanding the rules, he smiled at the man knowingly:

"I see, well......

It's interesting to say, but it's also a matter of game between the two sides. ”

"yes, so the result is not necessarily; It's like guessing boxing, even if the rules are simple, you can't predict it in advance. ”

Listening to the eldest lady talking about "game", Long Yun also thought along this line of thought, he felt that since the teams participating in the selection competition were all experienced and the people sent to draw lots would definitely be cautious, then according to the analysis of game theory, the results would automatically be biased in a more balanced direction.

The process of drawing lots, at first glance, each team can choose one of the three options, and everyone will definitely choose the one they are most familiar with and the best at.

But on the other hand, since both sides are using their brains, the final game setup scheme is likely to be a kind of "improvisation" for both sides - because if you choose yours and I choose mine, if the most suitable maps for both sides are not the same, the result is that neither of them can choose their own advantage plan, but use the remaining one; On the other hand, if the plan chosen by both sides is the same, "both are good at it is equal to not good at it", then what is not said is to directly use this plan to fight.

Regarding the strategy of drawing lots, since there is a discussion in the previous paragraph, according to the psychological analysis of game theory, the team will also take into account the opponent's thinking in the draw, and often will not simply choose the plan that they are best at - it is likely to be useless anyway, but will "settle for the second" and choose the more mediocre one from the three maps, so that if the opponent also chooses this map, it can be directly adopted without any accidents; And if the opponent does not choose this picture, it is conceivable that the opponent should choose a pair that is beneficial to it, so that the two sides choose to stagger and eventually adopt the remaining plan, and this plan is almost the opponent's worst good, which is equivalent to getting cheap.

Of course, along these lines, there could be more psychological analysis, but all in all, the general fairness of this scheme can be theoretically demonstrated.

When it comes to how decision-makers will choose each draw, it is a matter of opinion.

Listening to Long Yun's introduction of the lottery plan, and thinking about game theory by the way, Shangguan Ling was interested in this link, and this eldest lady was also very curious, so she told Long Yun right now, and she would go together tomorrow morning to see what this process was like.

The boss's request, of course, Long Yun will not refuse:

"Okay, no problem; Anyway, it's quite a random choice, Ling, you can choose it. ”

"Oh? ――I think so, so I'd like to try it. ”

Since he was introduced to Long Yun by his sister, under the step-by-step actions of this "not doing business" guy, the young president of "Renchen" has become more and more involved in aviation competitions, and he is also very concerned about the performance of "Chenlong"; In the field of aviation competition, Shangguan Ling, who is strong and competitive by nature, seems to have found an activity stage that suits his personality, even if it is impossible for him to sit in the cockpit of a fighter plane and fight a tense and fierce battle, it is good to at least draw lots and experience it.

In a few words, the lottery was decided, as the team's funder and Long Yun's boss, Ling Yufeng turned around and instructed him to fight the first battle of "Chenlong":

"Well, that's how the draw is decided.

As for this game, I heard Miss Yang and others say that the strength of 'Red Rock' is quite average in the top ten, since it is the first battle, Long Yun, are you sure to win? ”

"Ah, well, actually—"

"Well, what do you want to say, 'there is no general who always wins' or 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers'?

I've heard Sister Su say it more than once, and I've observed it myself, your strength, it should be easy to deal with this kind of game, I also know the rules of the trials, the first three singles games, and the back is the team game, what about you, how can you say that you can also get four or five points in the schedule, and if you complete the goal, you can get five more points, you can definitely win, isn't it? ”

"Well, hey...... It may sound like that, but how can the competition be so simple and straightforward, my eldest lady? ”

"What, -- are you in trouble?"

"It's not difficult, oh, I don't think I should have said that, hehe.

I mean, Ling, have you forgotten one thing, the national selection competition is not based on the victory or defeat, but on the points of each team, and the victory or defeat is originally a matter that only a lover will pay attention to; In this case, simply scoring more points than your opponent in each game does not necessarily guarantee the final finish.

Of course, we still have to give it our all, in short, the more points the better, that's right. ”

After explaining the ranking rules of the selection competition, it can be regarded as reminding the eldest lady, seeing that the time is not early, Long Yun stood up and greeted him quite naturally, he patted Ling on the shoulder and asked her to rest early.

The way to greet Long Yun, if you were another person, you might be unlucky on the spot, but the eldest lady who was slightly sleepy nodded indifferently, and got up and walked to the stairs quite obediently; Since that Chinese New Year's Eve with a confusing atmosphere, I don't know if it was because of drunkenness or other reasons, Ling, who has always been full of majesty, has a better attitude towards Long Yun, and when he walked upstairs, he also glanced back, and quietly asked him to rest early.

From the initial encounter to the current subtle situation, even with the help of conscious snooping, the nervous Long Yun still half-understood Ling's thoughts.

Raising his hand and stepping upstairs step by step, Ling Dao said goodnight, now that the first battle of "Chenlong" is imminent, the young man didn't think too much, he returned to the house after washing, and looked at the time after ten o'clock in the evening, he was going to lie down and sleep directly, after thinking about it, he still sat down at the table and turned on the computer.
