This then moves on to the second topic, the rules of the competition. This time, it was the master of the stone hall who spoke first.

"Here, on behalf of the Demon Source Sect, I solemnly promise that this qualifier must uphold the principle of fairness, justice and openness. The method of the game is established, and the rules of the game will definitely make it impossible for everyone to see the obvious problems. We will never deliberately favor anyone, especially the disciples of the Demon Source Sect, and we will never allow any unfairness to exist. ”

That's a bit of a heavy statement. In the past, there were similar speeches before the competition, but they were usually generalized, but this time, the stone hall master seemed to be different.

"Our various factions in Emerald Wood City have had several successive Kingdom Elite Disciple Competitions in recent years, and their results have been very poor. This is a very worrying thing, and it is a shame shared by all eight of our factions, and we must not allow it to go unchecked. ”

This time, Elder Wang's mood was slightly better, and the other people were in a gloomy mood. The Kingdom Elite Disciple Contest is already the only one that the various factions in Emerald Wood City are still qualified to participate in, the large-scale event of the Kingdom Cultivators, and there are many other large-scale activities, and now they are not qualified to participate, and they cannot be invited, it has been a long time.

The stone hall master's words were not light, but people only agreed.

"Fortunately, in this preliminaries, our eight factions have rarely gathered together. On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Preliminary Competition of the Demon Source Sect, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you and the disciples of the delegations of all factions, and sincerely wish that everyone can achieve relatively satisfactory results. ”

Several elders and Deacon Hong applauded vigorously. There were not many people, and the applause was slightly scarce.

"I am an old friend with all of you, so I don't have much to say politely. Achieving good results in the main race is the common wish of all of us, but it is certainly not something that can be accomplished overnight. Therefore, this year's preliminaries are just to select the most suitable ten disciples, and they all shoulder the common expectations of our eight factions. ”

Several elders were a little stunned, and they didn't know at all, whether the stone hall master was fooling, or fooling, or fooling?

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, everyone has made up their minds, it doesn't matter if it's true or fake, it's impossible to be easily fooled.

"I know that people probably don't like to hear it. Again, the first focus of the rules is to protect all disciples, regardless of whether they have the possibility of obtaining the final qualifier or not. All these disciples are the hope for the future of our eight sects, and they must not be easily damaged when they are idle. ”

After saying this, the master of the stone hall motioned for Deacon Hong to come forward, and then stood up, gave way to her, and returned to the bottom himself.

Deacon Hong sat firmly on the rostrum and continued to speak.

"After much discussion, we worked out the terms of the rules in advance. I will read it out again for the elders' reference. ”

"First, no one shall kill the opponent of the game, whether intentionally or unintentionally; After the game, the referee team will review and determine that those who inadvertently kill their opponents during the game will first be unconditionally disqualified from the game, and then punished as appropriate. ”

As soon as half of the article was read, everyone couldn't help but discuss: Is the punishment so severe for those who unintentionally kill?

Deacon Hong ignored it, just didn't hear anything, "If it is judged that those who intentionally kill their opponents in the competition will be unconditionally disqualified from the competition; After the game, we will discuss how to punish the disciples who maliciously violate the rules. ”

After the first article was read, Deacon Hong paused. The meaning is obvious, and if you have any opinions, you can say them clearly at this moment.

Everyone whispered a few words, but no one was willing to take the lead. Elder Yu didn't care so much, and asked, "We only have one disciple, if we assume that he kills an opponent in a match, how will the punishment be determined?"

Deacon Hong replied calmly: "We drafted the rules, first of all, to allow the elders to discuss, and to prepare to brainstorm and find out the unreasonable parts. The preparatory rules stipulate that if there is no intention to kill, the disciple will be disqualified. Those who intentionally kill will definitely be disqualified, and if there are no other disciples participating in the competition, the penalty points will be postponed to the disciples who participate in the next competition. ”

"It was supposed to be a 10-point penalty. Considering that some factions may only have one or two disciples participating in the competition, it is probably a little unbearable to be punished with so many points. ”

After Deacon Hong explained, everyone understood the deep meaning after a little pondering, and they all chuckled. Elder Yu sat down indignantly, worried, how can it be called unintentional, and how can it be called intentional? He was about to ask, but when he saw the others gloating, he didn't want to ask anymore in a fit of anger.

His precious disciple is a cloud beast, with infinite strength, reaching the fifth order of the holy level, and has only cultivated for more than ten years so far. Due to his very little experience, he will only attack fiercely at present. Suddenly, when he heard that it was strictly forbidden to kill his opponent in the competition, Elder Yu panicked, this was something he had never considered, and he was very worried that his disciple would not be able to adapt to the new rules.

Of course, this is typical of his concern, the rules are the same for everyone, and because they are new, everyone needs to reinterpret them, and everyone is faced with the problem of how to adapt to them.

Elder Wang took the opportunity to ask, "It is appropriate to protect all the disciples who participated in the competition. But isn't the punishment too severe?"

This time, the others did not oppose him again.

"I think the current rules are too lenient. Can the current regulations guarantee that there will be no vicious killings?"

The crowd was silent. In all fairness, I really can't. Even if it is stipulated that the killer must be unconditionally killed, it may not necessarily be prevented.

Deacon Hong didn't want to ask questions, she continued: "This first rule prohibiting killing opponents is proposed to emphasize that we are only in the preliminary round! ”

"It's better for them to have the idea that everyone is like their own family, that they should never kill each other, and that they can use it as much as possible for official competitions, if they can qualify for official competitions. ”

Well, unconsciously, they were brainwashed by the little deacons again! Several elders felt deeply unlucky.

"No matter which of the four competition plans we preset, we need to build twenty rings for forty disciples to compete at the same time. In the past, the knockout format was used, and the referee became a very troublesome problem. For example, the first round requires twenty judges, and the second round requires only ten. It's hard to get enough referees in the first round, and it's too many after the second round, and it's hard to say who is more trustworthy. ”

The referee problem is a big problem every game, which is one of the important reasons why the Cuimu faction is willing to let the Demon Source faction always be the host, and the other factions are not against it, and a large part of it is also because of this reason. ‘

Everyone is curious, is this time, do you have a particularly good solution?

Deacon Hong continued: "A few times before, our Demon Source Sect was very troubled by this, and we often suffered from being unflattering, and ended up with a lot of dissatisfaction. The door master and the hall master were also disturbed. This time, we came up with a good idea. ”

Elder Yu unconsciously asked, "What's the best way?" he asked himself, he definitely couldn't think of how to solve it.

Deacon Hong said, "This good way is tied to the first rule. That is, we no longer consider finding many masters to be referees, but specifically looking for many low-level hands to be referees; we choose the outer disciples of our sect, and we are specifically looking for a group of core disciples who do not know the core disciples of our sect. ”

The elders were shocked, this line of thought was indeed unthinkable. For a long time, this kind of game has used god-level masters as referees in order to control the game and minimize unnecessary casualties as much as possible. But there are not many god-level masters in any faction, and they are all in important positions and busy with official business......

On the contrary, if you use an outer disciple as a referee, first of all, you will never worry about the number of people being insufficient, and secondly, you can avoid favoritism to the greatest extent. There are 1,800 disciples of any sect, and they can be randomly designated by a few elders, so it is very easy to supervise.

The only worry is that their strength is too low, not only is they unable to protect both sides of the game, but they are also unable to guarantee their own safety.

Deacon Rainbow continued, "We are prepared to have sixty judges in each round, three in each ring, and they are all closest to each ring. One of the three is responsible for deciding the outcome of the match, and the two duo each keep an eye on one player and record their scores. ”

It sounds good, everyone listened to God and thought about the implementation.

"Sixty people are only responsible for this round, and the next round will be replaced by another sixty people. Wins and losses can be divided into two types: outright wins and point wins. To win directly, one is to knock the opponent out of the ring, the other is to knock down the opponent and completely control the opponent, and the third is to admit defeat on a certain side, and the referee will directly announce the outcome of the victory. ”

"Many times, no disciple is able to win directly, and they will fight with each other for a long time. At this time, the two referees in charge of scoring play a big role. They are responsible for recording two kinds of scores, one is the result of the game, the winner is worth 1 point, the loser is worth 0 points, and the other is the game, the player is slightly injured once, and one point is recorded. By the one-hour time limit, the player with more points will be judged to lose. ”

What a good way, what a good idea, everyone secretly admired.

"By the way, the second rule is that after any player has a clear advantage, he must not maliciously seriously injure his opponent, and the violator will be disqualified from the competition. ”

This rule seems to be very unreasonable, but in fact, combined with the provisions of the referee's marking, everyone can understand the painstaking work, and in the final analysis, we still hope to protect every disciple to the greatest extent. So, this time, everyone didn't even say anything against it.

Moreover, the assumption is relatively well-thought, and it is almost impossible for the referee to show favoritism. Whether the player has a minor injury, how many in total, is clear at a glance, and the player himself is clear, how can he make a false report and conceal it?

Elder Wang was a little tired, and he needed to keep an eye on the ten disciples all the time.
