Chapter 65 New Rules for the Kanto Tournament!

Chapter 65 65. New rules for the Kanto Tournament!

"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 draw, the heads of each school had received the 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?"

Then, the staff picked up a thick stack of photocopied paper and distributed them to the staff of each school one by one.

"What is this?"

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

"This is really a test of the strength of the group."

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

[Explanation of the new rules of the Kanto Tournament]

1. Each school must play five games!

2. Implement a scoring system!

3. The score for winning a single game is the difference between the score and the opponent's score!

4. Record the total score of the five games to determine which school in the game will advance to the next round!

5. The winning side of the tie-break will get 1 point!

6. In the event of a tie, the two schools will send substitutes to play in the playoffs!

This rule directly disrupted the previous lineups of all schools.

"How could this happen?"

"Isn't this just messing around?"

"Look at it in a positive way, as long as the score is big enough, can't it be said that one more game is won?"

Discussions began to sound in the conference room, and everyone had various questions.

Why did this Kanto tournament adopt such a new rule?

(What is the principle behind this?)

Shirajin remembered that there was no such new rule in the plot of Prince of Tennis.

This is obviously a plan to make all schools fight with all their strength.

The winning score of a single game is the difference with the opponent's score.

That is to say, if you score 7-5, you will get 2 points.

If your teammates score 3-6 in the next game, the opponent will also get 3 points.

This means that if the opponent wins the same game, he will get a lead in points, so the next teammate will be required to win with a higher score.

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

This move can even kill the idea of ​​horse racing for those schools with weak foundation.

If you dare to use inferior horses to exchange for the superior horses of the opponent, who will make up for the 6-point gap?

This new rule, to put it bluntly, allows each school to arrange strong players in the corresponding positions to play against each other.

For example, when Qingxue plays against Teikou, the first factor is to consider who will play against Shiratsu and Akashi.

Who can lose the least points from the opponent and win the game?

There is no doubt that Tezuka and Fuji are the absolute best choices.

They will definitely go directly to Akashi and Shiratsu.

Otherwise, once other people are sent up and beaten into a sieve, the loss of points will be too much, which may affect the total score of the entire game.

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

Because this means that even if a school has lost four games in the previous round, as long as the score difference does not exceed 6 points, it may be able to turn defeat into victory and advance in the final singles with a wave of 6-0 to win back the points.

The victory or defeat of a single game is no longer important, and the ability to pull 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 have crushed the opponent 18-0 in the first three games, it is not impossible to play badly in the remaining two games.

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

Starting from the second round, the "God War" will begin.

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

"Hmm!"

"Interesting."

Although Atobe occasionally heard some rumors from Coach Sakaki before, he did not know the specific situation, but now it seems that Coach Sakaki came prepared.

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

Atobe knew very well that there would be a youth selection competition after the Kanto Tournament.

At that time, the strong schools in the Kanto Tournament would be selected to form an "expedition team".

And the coach of this team was Coach Sakaki himself.

Therefore, this is why Coach Sakaki always went to the scene to observe the competition alone.

He needs to fully understand the strength of the personnel of each school, and then judge which people should participate in the youth selection competition.

And in the case of Teiko, who directly crushed people in three games since the start of the Metropolitan Tournament, there is no useful information to observe.

So in the Kanto Tournament, Coach Sakaki added this new rule, forcing five games to be played, and trying not to let the water or slack off.

It can only be said that this new rule really grasps all the strong schools.

"Hmm"

Tezuka silently looked at the instruction manual in his hand, and kept thinking in his heart.

This scoring system does not seem to be bad for them.

Because they don't care about the win or loss of a single game, but focus on the scoring of the process.

Just like what I described before.

If a match is held, before Tezuka comes on the field, if his teammates can help him get two more points, the error tolerance of the players against him will be reduced.

It is equivalent to being born with an easier time than the opponent.

Even if it is a disadvantageous game, as long as the teammate loses by a small margin, Tezuka has a chance to make up in the end and lead the team to advance.

"For us, the situation is more severe."

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

"Yes, there is no room for slackness."

Shiratsu agreed with him and knew how big the "disadvantages" of this rule were.

They have always defeated their opponents in three games, but once this rule came out, there will be an unstable factor.

Unless the score difference in the first three games is pulled to a point that cannot be recovered in the last two games, the opponent will always have a chance to overtake.

I lost 1 point in this game? In the next game, my teammates will get back 2 points, then there will be no problem.

Especially for a strong school against a slightly weaker strong school, this rule is more confrontational.

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

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

……………

"Is this really okay?"

"What do you mean?"

Coach Sakaki sat in the office drinking tea, looking at the people in front of him and asking questions.

"Although this can make them actively compete, will they not be able to adapt to the sudden change of the game system?"

"Nothing, the world of tennis has always been a winner-takes-all world, and the loser-takes-out world."

"If they can't even adapt to this new rule, then it proves that there is no need to participate in the youth trials in the future."

"They are all pioneers of the new era. I believe so."

PS: There is no room below, so fill in a little here, the main text above is already full of 2000.

I can only say that we try to consider the factors of playing all five games, so we added such a new rule.

Otherwise, if one side is ahead in strength, it will end in three games, and some people will not appear on the stage, which feels meaningless.

Just like the current Teiko, in doubles, there is basically no loss for Kagami, Aomine, Kise, and Shiratsu, who are paired with Kuroko. After all, no school has forced visual guidance now.

With Murasakibara's natural physique and defensive ability, it is difficult for opponents to score points when she is serious.

Since the two doubles games are sure to win, if there is another strong player in singles three (Shiratsu, Akashi), the game will basically be over. What are the singles two and one for?

It is impossible to let the strongest players of each school play singles three every time, and the second-in-command will grab doubles, right?

PS: Continued from the previous article

So change the rules and adjust the rationality. If there are any loopholes, please point them out (after all, this rule may have defects that I have not considered.)

In the current plan, Teiko is still the strongest overall, who said that eight people can fight well. Seigaku is still missing Momoshiro, Kaitang and Ryoma. Hyotei has become stronger, but it is not as strong as Kabaji. Even if Atobe leads them to train abroad, they are only close to Seigaku. Rikkai University simply suffered a loss because of its late appearance, so Atobe, who was specially trained in the plot, almost finished alone.

From the personnel comparison, you will know that if Miracle's lineup is fully deployed at the beginning, it will not be weak anymore.

Otherwise, why do I keep arranging the enhancements of Seigaku, Hyotei, Rikkai University, and Yamabuki.

Because without enhancements, it is really impossible to play. 6-0 all the time? That is indeed meaningless. If there is some confrontation, it will be interesting to play back and forth. However, some people cannot be beaten even with enhancements, such as Yamabuki's doubles.

In fact, in my setting, only Shiratsu is undefeated throughout the whole process... Miracle will sooner or later be rolled to the same level and then lose and become stronger, but that is all in the future.

As for going to U17 early? Why go there early? Isn't it more comfortable for junior high school students to fight and roll with each other than to stay there? Later, everyone rolled to the world level, U17? It doesn't matter if you don't go! Our junior high school world is the new "U17"! .

In the following youth trials, Kanto vs. Kansai, Tachibana, Chitose, Shiraishi and others will also appear one after another

(ai) on the stage(da)

As for whether to arrange for foreign peers to compete, we will decide when the time comes.
