The revision of the records began at morning hour and extended to evening hour.
Under the meticulous planning of the organizers, the whole process was indeed logical and clear, a pleasure to behold.
Each change in the rankings was announced in the form of a "proposal": if the Jade Sword Platform decided to initiate a proposal after discussion, a clear voice would articulate the purpose and reason for the proposal to everyone. Then, if the matter involved a comparison of swordsmanship, a trial by the Sword Platform would ensue; if it involved natural talent, a collection of opinions would be sought. Once a consensus was reached, the clear voice would again explain the reasons for the decision to the assembly before inscribing the name into the records.
