"If you have any questions, you can ask them later..."

After waiting for a long time, everyone finally heard that the most important part was coming.

Before the lottery began, the ministers of each school had already received the setting of new rules for the Kanto Tournament.

But no news has been revealed so far, which makes people very concerned.

What kind of rules are so mysteriously hidden?

"Huh?"

Afterwards, the staff picked up a thick stack of photocopy paper and handed them out to the staff of each school.

"What is this?"

But when they saw the new rules, everyone's faces changed.

"It's... Test the strength of the group. ”

Even Akaji and Shiratsu had to face this new rule carefully.

【Explanation of the new rules of the Kanto Contest】

1. Each school needs to play five games!

Second, the implementation of the points system record!

3. The difference between the score of a single game win and the opponent's score!

4. Record the total score of the five games to determine which school in the battle advances to the next round!

5. The winner of the tie-break is unified to 1 point!

6. In the event of a tie in the total score, the two schools will play the play-offs with substitutes!

This rule directly disrupted the previous layout of all schools.

"How so?"

"Isn't that messing around?"

"On the bright side, as long as the score is big enough, isn't that one more win?"

Discussion began to ring out in the conference room, and everyone had all kinds of questions.

Why did this year's Kanto Tournament adopt such new rules?

(How does this work?) ）

Bai Jin remembered that there was no new rule in the plot of the King of the Net.

This is clearly full of thoughts for schools to do their best to fight.

The score for a single game win is the difference between the opponent's score.

In other words, if you play 7-5, you get 2 points.

If the next teammate is 3-6, the opponent will also score 3 points.

This means that if you win the same game, your opponent will take the lead in terms of points, and you will ask your teammates in the next game to score a higher score to win.

This completely changed the previous single-game win-loss system, and turned into a more detailed single-game scoring system.

This hand can even extinguish the thoughts of those school horse races that are not well-established.

If you dare to use an inferior horse to exchange for an inferior horse on the opposite side, who will make up for the 6-point gap?

This new rule, to put it bluntly, allows each school to arrange strong players to match in the corresponding positions with peace of mind.

For example, Qingxue Zhan Diguang, then the first factor is to consider who will fight against Bai Jin and Akaji.

Who can concede the fewest points from their opponent and win the match?

There must be no doubt about it, Tezuka and Fuji are the absolute best.

The two of them are bound to go directly to Akaji and Shiratsu.

Otherwise, once you send someone else up and be beaten into a sieve, you will lose a lot of points, and maybe it will affect the total score of the entire game.

At this time, everyone also understood why each school was required to play five games.

Because this means that even if the school has lost four games in the past, as long as the score difference does not exceed 6 points, and the score is snatched back 6-0 in the final singles, it may be able to turn defeat into victory and promotion.

The victory or defeat of a single game is no longer important, and the ability to pull points and chase points is more important.

This is a very severe test of individual and team strength.

Whether it is doubles or singles, you must show the corresponding strength to chase and pull points.

Unless you've already crushed the opposite side 18-0 in the first three games, it's not impossible to mess up the remaining two.

However, at the point of the Kanto Tournament, there are not many weak schools in the true sense.

From the second round, the "Immortal War" will begin.

"Is this the new rule that Sakaki mentioned by Coach Sakaki?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Interesting..."

Although the trace department had occasionally heard some rumors from Coach Sakaki before, he didn't know the specific situation, but now it seems that Coach Sakaki came prepared.

After all, it was Sakaki himself who proposed this rule.

It is clear that there will be a youth selection contest after the Kanto Tournament.

At that time, the strong school personnel from the Kanto Tournament will be selected to form an "expedition team".

And the coach of this team is Coach Sakaki himself.

That's why Coach Sakaki used to go to the scene alone every time to watch the game.

He needs to be fully aware of the strength of the personnel in each school to determine who should participate in the youth tryouts.

And a situation like Diguang, which directly ran people away in three games from the beginning of the capital competition, could not observe useful information at all.

So much so that in the Kanto Tournament, Coach Sakaki added this new rule, forcing him to play five games to the fullest, and making him try not to release water or paddle.

It can only be said that this new rule has really taken care of all the strong schools.

"Hmm..."

Tezuka silently looked at the manual in his hand, and his heart was also constantly thinking.

Such a scoring system does not seem to be bad for them either.

Because you don't mind the win or loss of a single game at all, but focus on the scoring situation of the process.

As described before...

If a teammate can help him score two more points before Tezuka comes on the court, the error tolerance rate of the player opposite him will be reduced.

It's a lot easier than the other side by nature...

And even if it is a disadvantage, as long as the score difference between the teammates and the loss is not too big, then Tezuka has a chance to pull back at the end and lead the team to advance.

"For us, the form is going to be more severe."

Akaji was silent for a long time, and then spoke.

"yes, there's no room for slackness."

Bai Jin agrees with him, and knows how "disadvantageous" this rule is.

Their Diguang has always carried away their opponents in three games, but as soon as this rule comes out, there will be instability.

Unless the first three games stretch the point of irretrievable points in the last two, the opponent will always have a chance to overtake.

I lost by 1 point in this game? In the next game, teammates will snatch back 2 points, and then it will be no problem.

Especially for strong proofreaders and slightly weaker strong schools, this rule is more confrontational.

The people in the room gradually dispersed, and everyone was thinking about the new rules.

At the same time, bring the news back to the team and tell everyone about it.

……………

"Is that really okay?"

"What do you mean?"

Coach Sakaki sat in the office drinking tea, looked at the personnel in front of him and asked questions.

"Although this allows them to actively fight, will it be uncomfortable to change the competition system for a while?"

"It's nothing, the world of tennis has always been about the winner staying, and the loser retreating."

"If you can't even adapt to this new rule, it proves that you don't have to participate in the junior trials in the future."

"They're all the pioneers of a new era... That's what I believe..."

PS: I can't write it below, fill in a little here, the text above is already full of 2000.

It can only be said that the factor of making five games full is considered as much as possible, so such a new rule has been added to it.

Otherwise, when one side is ahead, the three games will be over, and some people will not appear, and it will feel meaningless.

Just like the current Diguang, the fire god, Qingfeng, Huang Se, and Bai Jin with the sunspots in the doubles basically do not lose, after all, no school has forced out the line of sight to induce now.

With his natural physique and defensive ability, it is difficult for opponents to score points when he is serious.

Since the doubles two games are secure, then the singles three and then the strong ones (Bai Jin, Akaji) will basically kill the game, so what do you need to play in singles two and singles one?

It's impossible to let the strongest in each school play singles three and second in command to grab doubles every time, right?
