Chapter 339 The 2nd Competition Rule

On Tuesday, November 15th, the temperature was between 4 and 13 degrees. For Scotland, this temperature is considered good weather in November.

The students all wore long sleeves and jackets, and the 30 contestants wore three colors of competition clothing according to the school.

Half an hour ago, Thicknesse announced the content of the second game and distributed uniforms to the players.

The competition uniform is a pure wool pullover with a very comfortable texture on the upper and lower back. The front and back of the clothing are printed with the logos of several sponsors. This kind of publicity effect is very direct.

Hogwarts' uniforms are blue, Babston's uniforms are red, and Durmstrang's uniforms are black.

The second competition is a single match.

30 people draw lots, 15 groups are selected in the first round, 15 people are decided, losers get no points, wins get 1 point and enter the second round.

In the second round, 15 people were drawn and divided into 7 groups. One person got a bye. The person who had the bye got no points. The loser also got no points. The winner got 1 point and entered the third round.

In the third round, 7 people, plus the 1 person with a bye, form 4 groups, and 4 people are decided. Those who lose will get no points, and those who win will get 1 point, entering the fourth round.

In the fourth round, 4 people were divided into 2 groups, and 2 people were decided. The loser got no points, the win got 1 point, and entered the fifth round.

In the fifth round of the final, the winner gets one point.

The rules of the second game are very simple, and the players don’t have to think of any strategies.

Beside the Quidditch pitch, all the players were sitting in the newly set up tents, waiting nervously for Thicknesse to start drawing lots.

"You can earn one point for each round you win, and you can earn five points if you win the fifth round. But if you get a bye in the second round, you will have one less game. Even if you win the fifth round, you can only earn 4 points at most. Cedric said.

After hearing Thicknesse's rules, Sean smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect this game to be like this. We didn't use that strategy in the last group match. Now it will cost you the least points."

The previous match was based on group points. The first place team was awarded 6 points, the sixth place team was awarded 1 point. Sean's team got 1 point, but no one expected that the second duel would be linked to the points from the previous match. of.

The points in the group stage are equal to individuals, which means that Joseph took first place. Now everyone in their group has 6 points, while the five people in Sean's group have 1 point.

Penelo, Cedric, Chrissy, and Harry knew how the points were calculated and felt even more stressed, but no one blamed Sean.

"No one knows the rules. Maybe there will be a team competition later. It's up to us." Chris tried to stop Sean from blaming himself too much.

Cedric said, "There is only one Brave Trophy. We still have to rely on ourselves. If you can reach the fifth round and catch up with your points, we will be very happy."

"The competition is held in one day, and the players do not have much time to rest. After one round, the next round will begin immediately. This is a test of the players' endurance, mentality and magic power control, as well as the tactics in each round." Sean analyzed road.

"You have to adjust your fighting style according to your opponent, and the competition time is 10 minutes. If you knock down your opponent, you will win. If neither party falls down, the referee will determine the winner based on his performance in the game."

For the sake of fairness, the referees are three professors invited by the organizing committee from three schools: Ilvermorny in the United States, Fidel Castro in Brazil, and Kodos Doriz in Russia.

Harry pursed his lips, "I hope I can get a bye."

Players from Babston and Durmstrang, all eyes are focused on Sean. This duel is completely an event that reflects personal fighting skills, and it might become Sean's showtime.

"What should I do? If I draw Sean in the first round, wouldn't the game end immediately and sit on the bench?" a Babston boy said nervously.

Regarding such words that shake the morale of the army, Leno did not rebuke, but said, "Luck is also a part of strength. It depends on whether you are lucky or not. If you can draw weak opponents, you may be able to reach the fourth round. "

In fact, Leno is also worried that he is so strong. If he draws Sean in the first round, he may have to come down and be a spectator. There is no resurrection match in this game. It depends purely on luck and strength. If he loses, he will have no chance.

Joseph slapped the ground quickly with the soles of his feet to relieve his nervousness. "Why were the content of the competition only announced on the same day? I didn't even have time to prepare."

"What do you want to prepare?" Sissi asked.

"If I had known that this was a duel drawn by lots, I should have found someone to get a bottle of elixir of fortune, so that at least I would have better luck during the drawing of lots," Joseph said.

"You can throw it away. High-end potions like Fuling Elixir are not sold outside. They have to be customized by pharmacists." Sean said abruptly.

The Fortune Potion is also called the Lucky Potion. It will bring you good luck within 12 hours after taking it, but this has more implications.

The so-called "good luck" it can bring is actually mainly to improve your abilities in various aspects, such as social skills, magic skills, reaction skills, etc., so that people will feel that everything goes smoothly. . However, the preparation process of Fulingji is extremely complicated and takes at least 3 months to half a year.

"Okay, contestants, come and draw lots. Draw whatever you want." Thicknesse walked among the crowd carrying a square wooden box.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. They stepped forward in no order and each of them drew a small glass ball from the wooden box.

"There are a total of 15 numbers here, and each number is a pair. Please come to me from the two players who drew number 1." said host Ludo Bagman.

Everyone's eyes swept across the players, and they saw a livid-faced Durmstrang player raising his hand and whispering, "It's so unlucky to be the first one."

However, when he saw the other player who had drawn No. 1 raise his hand, his livid face turned darker and said, "Whatfuck"

The other player who drew the No. 1 ball was actually a player from Durmstrang. This was really bad luck. There was internal fighting within the family. This caused Hogwarts and Babston to immediately check each other's numbers. .

"What numbers have you drawn? Is there anyone with the same number?" Penello asked anxiously.

The 10 people at Hogwarts spread their palms, and Penello said, "Fortunately... wait, you two."

Paul Fussell and Marton Foley both held the same No. 4 ball in their hands.

The atmosphere in Hogwarts was a bit gloomy. The two looked at each other, and Paul pretended to be relaxed.

"Fortunately, we were first in the last round and had enough points. Let's just treat it as a competition between Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"That's exactly what I meant." Marton said.

The two people who drew number 1 awkwardly walked up to Bagman. In his hand, he was holding something similar to an alarm clock, with two buttons, black and white, and only four numbers on the clock face.

"Come on, each of you put a finger on the button. The white one is start and the black one is stop."

"What is this for?"

"Choose a suitable competition environment for you." Bagman smiled.

The two players pressed the button, and the hands in the clock stopped at the number 2 on the left.

Everyone stared at Bagman curiously, wondering what the number 2 meant, and Bagman picked up the microphone and shouted.

"Prepare site 2."

The players in the tent didn't know that on the Quidditch field, a staff member was riding a Firebolt, holding a box with the number 2 engraved on it, and placed it in the center of the field.

The wooden box was opened, and something flowed out, which was tiny grains of sand.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked confused.

Hermione didn't know why. She stared intently at the center of the field. The sand in the box was flowing more and more. In a few seconds, the Quidditch green field turned into undulating sand dunes.

This change was seen by all the spectators on the sidelines of the court, as well as the spectators outside the live broadcast.

"Cliven, did you take the shot?" Morrissey said, looking at the dune.

Craven held up the camera and clicked, "I'm still taking pictures."

"Sand dune No. 2 is ready, contestants please enter." Bagman's loud voice sounded.

The players in the tent heard the movement and walked outside one after another. They were stunned by the huge change.

"The Ministry of Magic is really willing to spend money." Sean thought to himself.

The change of venue made the game more enjoyable to watch. The audience didn't know how many venues there were, but the players couldn't help but worry when they saw the alarm clock. There were three unknown venues, and they didn't know if they would be worse than the sand dunes.

The change of venue does not have a big impact on Sean and Leno. They can fly spells, but other players have to keep their feet on the ground, and different environments will affect their actions.

The Grimm brothers whispered in the ears of the two players, and they didn't know whether they were encouraging or giving advice.
