Beauty and the Bodyguard

The biggest fear is that if there is only one left, it will be embarrassing. It may directly disqualify them from the debate, and indirectly it will be equivalent to losing the qualifications for the inspection envoy's competition.

Tie Shixin in the seat raised his hand slightly to indicate that the timer would start in five minutes. He leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was dozing off.

It was convenient for Lin Yi and Yan Su. They formed a team directly and waited for five minutes to receive their number plates. Most of the other inspectors were similar. If they had familiar friends, they quickly formed a team together. It didn't matter. Okay, just go everywhere. If you are looking for people who are in a similar situation, you should form a team first.

Within five minutes, all the inspectors formed teams smoothly, but there was no one left alone, and there were very few three-person teams, basically two people in a team.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, although the three-person team has a numerical advantage, when it comes to scoring points in the end, having more people is a huge disadvantage.

The upper limit of free play is 100 points, and the total of winning points is only 110 points. If the two teams agree on an equal score, each person can score 55 points. If three people share it equally, they will only get 367 points. !

Unless it is agreed in advance that the two-guarantee-one tactic will be used, the two will only get the lowest points, and the remaining majority will be given to one of them, otherwise this team formation method is more secure with two people.

Tie Shixin waited for the five minutes to expire and immediately opened his eyes. He glanced around and nodded slightly: "Yes, everyone has found their companions. The next step is to receive the number plate and prepare to draw lots."

The combination of Lin Yi and Yan Su received No. 7. All the inspectors were divided into seventeen teams. The format of the debate was an elimination system. The opponents were determined by drawing lots. After elimination, they advanced to the next round.

However, the scores of the teams that are eliminated in the first round will not be locked in, because the eliminated teams will also have a debate in the loser group with each other, and finally a winner will be determined and get a place in the semi-finals.

Seventeen teams competed in pairs, a total of eight groups, one team got a bye, the winner of the second round was nine teams, four groups competed in pairs, and one team still got a bye.

In the third round, the two teams faced each other and one team had a bye. The remaining three teams, plus the winner from the loser group, formed the final four teams for the showdown.

There will be additional scoring rewards for the first, second and third place, and the teams that reach the end will definitely have more trials and will naturally have more scoring opportunities. This is the best opportunity to widen the gap with other loser teams.

Of course, even if the combination of Lin Yi and Yan Su is eliminated in the first round, there is no need to worry about being caught up by the people behind. The gap is really too big. The champion of the second event will get enough points in every game. , will still be far behind Lin Yi Yan Su!

Lin Yi and Yan Su were determined to perform well. They could not relax just because they were ahead in points. They must use their undisputed strength to silence those who looked down on third-class continents.

result……

"In the first round, No. 7 gets a bye!"

The person in charge of drawing lots was a deacon from the Inspection Institute. Lin Yi could be sure that the other party had not tampered with anything. It was really just luck that allowed Lin Yi and Yan Su to enter the second round with a bye.

Because they did not participate in the debate, there were no additional performance points. The two of them only received ten victory points for promotion, which was better than nothing.

The other teams didn’t know whether to be envious or snickering.

It is said that it is definitely a good thing to enter the second round, but what is more important in this debate is the extra performance points in the process. Even if you lose the competition, getting 60 or 70 performance points is better than entering the second round in this way. More profitable!

Lin Yi was a little helpless and could only shrug his shoulders and smile at Yan Su: "You're lucky, you can observe what is going on in this debate first! Our performance will be better in the next round, and we will definitely impress everyone!"

Yan Su nodded in agreement: "Yes, luck is also a kind of strength. It seems that we have a high chance of winning today!"

The two chatted awkwardly for a few words, but they couldn't talk anymore. The other teams' debate competition happened to be starting in the first division. Lin Yi quickly asked Yan Su to observe carefully. It was necessary to know ourselves and the enemy.

Each debate area will have sound insulation measures to ensure that there will be no interference with each other. Tie Shixin did not watch all the debates in person, but arranged two deacons from the Inspection Court in all venues to conduct statistics and scoring to ensure that as much as possible fair and just.

If Lin Yi and Yan Su wanted to watch, they could only enter the soundproof area one by one. They all had the same theme, so the debates were similar.

After listening for a while, Lin Yi and Yan Su felt confident that they would win. At least they could compete with other teams!

About half an hour later, the first round of debate ended, the winning group advanced, and the losing group entered a brutal battle for the only place to be resurrected.

"The drawing of lots for the second round begins...No. 7...gets a bye!"

The deacon in charge of drawing lots couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw the number drawn in his hand. Just now, number seven had a bye, and now it's coming again?

Is this good luck or bad luck?

Lin Yi and Yan Su were also in a daze. Another bye?

They had just watched the first round, and the two of them were gearing up to show off their debate skills. Why did they miss another bye?

Fortunately, no one envied Lin Yi and Yan Su. Instead, they kept looking at them with gloating eyes.

After the first round, it was clear to everyone that compared to Lin Yi's team, which had a bye and received ten points, the losing teams had at least fifty or sixty performance points.

Most of the winners scored 100 performance points, and the worst was over 90. Although it is not comparable to Lin Yi Yansu's current total score, there is no denying that this is an excellent opportunity to catch up!

So Lin Yi and Yan Su had another bye, and other ambitious patrol teams began to be happy to see the result. After all, the eliminated team still had a chance to compete and could still get extra performance points. It would be better to be promoted!

"Inspector Sima and Inspector Yan, you two are really lucky. You can easily enter the third round. It is enviable! Congratulations!"

Fang Gezi pretended to congratulate, but was really sarcastic and sarcastic. At the same time, she was so happy that she even secretly prayed that Lin Yi and Yan Su's team would get a bye in the third round!

I don’t know if his wish was too strong, so shocking that when the second round was over and the third round was drawn, Lin Yi and Yan Su actually got a bye again!

But this time it was not drawn out. Their number seven did not appear from the beginning to the end, and the bye position was waited until the end. The only one who was not drawn out was number seven, so naturally there was no need to draw out again...

The deacon in charge of drawing lots looked confused, and the corners of his mouth were twitching, wondering if others would think he was doing something secretly?
