"After this, will our school really be ranked first in the Chinese Department in next year's department rankings?" someone asked excitedly.
"Okay, let's talk about this later." It's not good to say this in front of outsiders when something is still unconfirmed. "Anyway, we're definitely going to win first place."
"Senior Sister Zhao spent so much time preparing the questions for you, you must do well." Senior Brother Lin was much more flamboyant than Senior Brother Zhang. "Hua Da has been ranked first for so many years, we can't let it stop this year."
"Don't worry." The people of Huazhong University said one after another, not taking the people from Peking University seriously at all.
They even brought children with them, what else can the Beijing University team expect?
At this time, the staff came to tell the Huada team to prepare to play.
Not long after he finished speaking, the host said, "Please welcome last year's winning team, the number one-ranked Hua University team!"
Before the Hua team arrived, thunderous cheers erupted from the field in front.
The members of the Huada team smiled, unable to suppress the pride in their hearts, and walked forward.
Ying Siyuan stretched his neck and shouted at the top of his voice: "We will win!"
The Huada team member said to Brother Lin, "Are the Beijing University students under too much pressure this year? Their brains are a little bit abnormal."
This news reached the ears of Kyoto University.
Teacher Sun's face was gloomy.
The team members behind him, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected.
They all learned it from Tan Mo!
Play the pig and eat the tiger!
Let you not believe it now and look down on us for being weak.
You will cry soon!
Ying Siyuan said to everyone with an innocent look on his face: "I'm telling the truth, why don't they believe me?"
"Because they are stupid." Tan Mo smiled innocently.
Everyone: “…”
They can't even look at Tan Mo now!
They found out that this little girl was very bad!
After another two or three minutes, the host shouted, "Welcome to last year's second place team, the Beijing University team!"
Shen Hongshan grumbled, "There's no need to say you came in second in the competition."
He suspected that the host did it on purpose!
Teacher Sun led everyone onto the stage with a serious expression.
The students at Huazhong University of Science and Technology are still very polite.
The gymnasium was full of people, mostly from Hua University, with a small number from Peking University.
Since the other four universities are not in City B, no students came here specially.
They can all watch it through the live broadcast channel of their respective school official websites.
Most of the people present were Huazhong University students, but they still gave each team polite applause.
After the remaining four teams come up, they will line up according to their ranking in last year's competition.
"The rules of this year's competition are different from previous years," the host said. "In previous years, players could be replaced in each round. Each team could choose which player to substitute."
Next to the Kyoto University team were the teams from the two other universities.
Just then, I heard their captain explaining to the team members, "This way, we'll be more flexible. Because an all-around player... I've never met one."
After all, there is so much to learn, so there must be some emphasis.
It is indeed impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent.
I really don’t have that much time.
There will definitely be a focus.
"So, based on the general direction of each round, we'll select players who excel in that area," the captain of Shuangda explained. "This way, while we're more likely to encounter players who excel in that area, at least our team has a chance of winning."
Just as the two captains finished speaking, the host said, "This competition will be changed to a defending match format."
"That is to say, each team sends one player to the court. The player with the highest score in a round stays to continue in the next round, and the other teams replace their players. This is the case for every round. When a team runs out of players and has no replacements for the next round, it will be eliminated and will not have any points in the next round." said the host.
Everyone, team members, guests, and audience, all gasped.
"This competition system is a bit cruel."
"Yeah, in this case, there will definitely be at least one team member who will fall into the round that he is not good at."
"Why? We lost the first round, so if we replace the players, wouldn't it be a good idea to replace them with players who are good at the second round of questions?"
"But what if they win the first round? The winning player will continue to the second round, but the second round is a competition that they are not good at, so they will definitely lose. In the third round, they can indeed replace their strong players. If the strong players win again, they will likely play in a competition that they are not good at in the fourth round. So, when I say that at least one player will fall into a round that they are not good at, I am being conservative."
"Huh? The host said that some teams might not have enough players to compete. But even if they lose every round, they still have enough players."
Then, the host said, "Next, here's the second change. In previous competitions, there were 10 rounds in total. Although there wasn't a rule that different players had to compete in each round, each team chose to field different players in each round."
"But this year, due to a change in the competition format, we've added an extra round, bringing the competition from 10 to 11," the host said. "If a team doesn't take first place in every round, no players will compete in the final round."
The host smiled slightly: "This probability is actually quite high."
After all, only one person can get first place in points in each round.
Everyone understood now.
"Who decided this competition system?" The competition system has not been changed for five consecutive years, but this year, it has been changed so drastically!
"Please take your seats, everyone. The six teams will have 10 minutes to select their players for the first round. However, there will be no time to consider substitutions in subsequent rounds," the host reminded. "This requires all teachers to decide which team members will take the stage before the next round begins."
"Also, for the first round, because we have 10 minutes to choose our team members, the overall topic will not be announced in advance. The direction of the first round of questions will be revealed after the team members take the stage. However, for the subsequent rounds, since we will not be given time to discuss and choose our team members, as an equal exchange, the direction of the questions will be revealed first, and then the team members will be selected."
"This competition is really fun." In the stands, some students were enjoying the fun and were having a lot of fun.
The team leaders of each team brought their students into the contestant seats.
The distance between the players' seats is still relatively close.
There are no barriers to communicating with each other.
