The night passed quickly and soon it was the next day.
This was the second day of the tournament and the day that fights between contestants was supposed to begin.
The preliminary tests yesterday brought the number of contestants down to a thousand, but that was still too many people. So they had to do another round of eliminations to bring the number of people down to a number that they could hold a proper tournament with.
Their method of doing this was dividing people into blocks and then having those blocks fight it out to determine who would be moving on.
It was set so that there were sixteen blocks in total and there would be only two people who would be moving on for each of the sixteen blocks.
As for the distribution, it would be completely random.
