"Well… Given the number of people, I wasn't going to deny anyone an entry. The easiest method of filtration seems to be hundred men melees," Oliver said.
"And we've already got over a thousand bloomin' men, likely more, set to fight! That's ten different melees already," Greeves said.
"It'll be days of entertainment then," Oliver said. "As I was saying, a few hundred man melees, with the last twenty men going through to the next round. We'll keep running through hundred man melees, until we have only a single group of a hundred men remaining. Then, of the last twenty from that, we'll put them through to a normal knock-out style tournament."
