A massive screen appears above the one showing the Chairman and Black with the rules clearly depicted on it. A very, very long list.
“Just like always, I’ll only go over the most important things,” the Chairman adds, making the people in the audience calm down a bit. “To start off, all of the primaries will be held in this very stadium, and there will not be any other tournaments going on during them. Each primary will last for three days, with two days of secondary tournaments in between them. There will be a total of six primary tournaments, three for solos and three for teams, and the exact specifics and rules will be announced on the first day of each primary tournament.”
That’s nothing new.
“Cheating is not allowed during any of the tournaments and will be harshly punished. Foul play outside of the tournament is not allowed either, and any committing it will be arrested on the spot and given a decade long sentence in prison,” the Chairman continues, whispers running throughout the stadium at these words. “All participants are scanned upon coming into the magical reality for any sorts of illegal magical items that are not allowed in the tournaments, and should the participant be caught with it, they will be marked by the staff and the item will not appear with them in the magical reality.”
Then the Chairman proceeds to drone on and on about more rules like that until he finally gets to the more interesting stuff, “The secondary tournaments of the Interschool Tournaments will all be conducted on the two off days between primaries, and they will each have a Class V guest speaker attending the commentators booth. These secondary tournaments can include various different formats such as team Death Match, Fortress Siege, Demon Hunt, and Healer’s Gambit.” He pauses for a second before glancing off the screen then focusing on us again. “Getting first place in a secondary tournament will grant the university that the victor or victorious team goes to a total of five points, while second place will give three and third place will give one. And as always, getting first place in a primary will grant the university attended by the participant or participants a total of thirty points, with second place getting twenty, and third place ten.”
By the looks of the bored faces on the field, my own included, none of us really care about the rewards for the universities. What we all want to hear…
“Moving onto the individual rewards for the winning students,” the Chairman continues with great timing. “As many of you already know, we use a point based system for the winners along with a flat monetary prize. Each of the winning students will be able to trade their points for items they wouldn’t normally be able to purchase such as favors from the government and various other things that I believe you might be interested in as young Guardians.”
This time the massive number of Guardians gathered on the field go wild at his words, everyone here being rather excited over the prospect of rewards.
“Now, outside of the primaries, the set prizes for the secondary tournaments will be decided upon on the day of each secondary tournament,” the Chairman adds, making the excitement die down ever so slightly before rising again as he finishes, “but as always, the prizes for the primaries are shown on the screen above!”
The rules and regulations screen changes to show a different one.
