Kapitel 167: Chapter 163: Competition Rules_1
The provincial high school Pokemon battle league is divided into individual and team competitions.
The individual competition is further divided into three stages.
They are the qualification round, the preliminary round, and the main round.
After the competition starts, the qualification round is held first, reducing the 140 competing contestants down to 48. Each contestant has three chances to battle, using a one-on-one format. In the end, the advancement is determined by considering both the competition results and the Pokemon training progress. Generally speaking, winning two out of three matches is enough to move on to the preliminaries.
Listening to the rules, Fang Yuan almost started counting on his fingers.
Here comes the question: if 140 contestants each fight three battles, with no repeats, what is the minimum number of battles that must take place theoretically?
The preliminary round.
The preliminary round uses a round-robin format with three contestants each, where the winner gets three points, the loser zero points, and a tie grants one point each. The contestant with the highest points among the three advances. If there's a tie in points, an additional tiebreaker match will be held. Both the preliminary and main rounds will be held on special fields.
After the preliminaries, only sixteen contestants remain.
These sixteen contestants will then compete in the main round, which can also be called the championship round.
That is the rule for the individual competition; next are the rules for the team competition.
In the team competition preliminaries, a group round-robin format is used first.
Twenty schools are divided into four groups, with each group containing five schools. Each school will compete against the other four in their group.
After the battles, the top two schools with the highest points from each group advance to the main round.
The eight advancing schools will compete again in a round-robin format.
In the end, the school with the highest points will be the champion of the team competition.
...
"With both individual and team competitions happening at the same time, there's no doubt that the intensity of the battles before the main round will be extremely high... Without a certain level of strength, it's tough to advance..."
"Moreover, between individual and team competitions, schools need to make strategic choices, sometimes deliberately giving up some chances to achieve better results."
Fang Yuan shook his head, leaving such concerns to the teachers. His and Eevee's task was to defeat every opponent they faced!!
The goal, the championship (and the prize money)!!
After the introduction of the rules, the opening ceremony had one last segment.
Now, everyone was looking forward to this segment.
What's next will not be dull speeches but fiery clashes, passionate duels, and a barrage of powerful moves!
"Okay, I believe everyone can't wait any longer. Shortly, two of Su province's newly promoted Professional Trainers will perform a public demonstration match for us. Let's welcome the official start of the competition with an intense battle!!"
The demonstration match, also known as an exhibition match, will be performed by two Professional Trainers for the New Trainers to watch. It goes without saying that even Fang Yuan was very much looking forward to it.
All the competing contestants left the field and entered the contestant stand, after which Host Wang Lin continued:
"Let me introduce the contenders..."
"First is the explosive Flame Trainer from Nanjiang University, contestant Qiao Liang!!"
Dressed in a red battle suit with flame patterns and appearing to be under thirty years old, Qiao Liang nodded to the audience while walking towards the central arena.
"His opponent is also a graduate of Nanjiang University, the steady Mountain Trainer, contestant Song Yifan!"
Both young Professional Trainers are graduates of Nanjiang University, not yet in their thirties, meaning they are qualified to represent Su province in the King tournament. It can be said they are in the most dazzling phase of their lives, envied by countless people.
On the contestant stand, Fang Yuan watched intently.
Professional Trainer Qiao Liang's Pokemon was Blaze Chicken, and Song Yifan's Pokemon was Tyranitar. The moment the two Pokemon appeared, they altered the environment of the field.
However, the control they had over their energy was also quite remarkable. They perfectly contained the residual effects of the battle within the field, leaving no fault to be found.
As Tyranitar entered the fray, a maelstrom of wind and sand converged upon the field. With a roar, it stirred the blood of all spectators.
The Tyranitar, resembling a bipedal dinosaur monster, was covered in armor-like green shells. The spikes on its body and the fangs on its lower jaw made it appear extremely ferocious.
By contrast, the Blaze Chicken, with its white plumage, sharp claws wrapped in bandages, and powerful legs, paired with blue eyes, exuded an extraordinary aura!
"Chaa!!"
As the sandstorm approached, Blaze Chicken swung its arm, and a fierce shadow of Fire Punch rose up, scorching the air and the field.
"Ohhhhh!!"
"Go for it!!!"
Amid the cheers of the audience, Fang Yuan had to admit… professional trainers were truly formidable when engaged in serious battle. Even in an exhibition match, the power exuded by the Pokemon could accelerate one's heartbeat.
With one punch from Blaze Chicken, fire soared into the sky. The explosive combination of Charged Flame Assault and Fire Punch allowed Blaze Chicken to burst forth with incredible speed. The searing shadows of its fists, accompanied by waves of fire, were a sight to behold.
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
The peerless power of Tyranitar, capable of easily altering the terrain, summoned spikes that pierced the earth like mountains. They were instantly shattered by the punch, and amidst the exploding sand and stone, Blaze Chicken and Tyranitar had already clashed.
The collision of the kick and the tail swipe seemed to be a fist-to-flesh encounter.
In addition, the rampaging fire serpents and dancing yellow sand added a violent beauty to the battle.
...
The opening ceremony concluded, and Noon arrived.
The official matches would start in the afternoon.
During the contestants' lunchtime, the big screen had already announced the grouping for the first round of the selection contest.
Each school's leading teacher received the relevant battle lists and schedules from the staff.
"Who's my opponent?"
"A student from Green Sea High School, not the captain. His Pokemon is Golem."
"Conserve your Physical Strength, as you and Eevee need to take the field for the first team battle after this."
"Understood."
Fang Yuan simply got this information from Teacher Bai Ning and then began to rest with his eyes closed.
If there were seeded players in this competition, then he must be considered one, right??
In general… he shouldn't encounter too strong an opponent before the main competition.
Compared to Fang Yuan's composure, the other Pingcheng No.1 Middle School contestants were frantically preparing at the last minute…
After learning the species of their opponent's Pokemon, they urgently asked the teacher for more detailed information. If none was available, they would feverishly review their opponent's Pokemon characteristics online…
Liu Le's opponent had a Fighting Type Hariyama, which made him look serious, feeling extravagantly unlucky.
Lin Jing's opponent was a Silly Plant, which was extremely lucky.
Preparing for the upcoming matches, the coaches were extremely anxious. Months of training were finally going to be put to the test.
