Killing The Monkey.

You Xi Wang and the others greeted the faculty and waited for the airship to arrive. In the meantime, the Maestro opened the rule book and read it. This booklet described the way the contest was going to progress. 

The first round of the contest was Primary Group Stage. Every sector had nine cities, every city is a group slot. So nine groups per sector and every sector will have separate nine groups. These nine groups will fight against each other in a ranking tournament. The top nine rankers will represent the sector they belong to. 

Then the second stage will begin, Nine random groups will be formed based on a lottery system and the top eighty-one players will be pitted against each other. They will again fight for the top spot. This time only the group champion will advance to the third and the final stage
