The staff member in the gray robe began drawing lots. The method of drawing lots in the magic world was not complicated. The staff member carried a metal box containing the number plates and walked in front of the participants.
Since the participants' numbers were not made public, the metal box was airtight and able to shield detection spells. All participants blindly selected their opponents without knowing the numbers of the other participants.
After the draw, dynamic magic words were refreshed on the Magic Bulletin Board to show the rounds of the participating players.
The competition rules were simple and adopted the classic round-robin system. Both sides entered the Octagon Cage, and the winner was decided within 30 minutes, with either side surrendering. The winner would gain points, and the loser would lose points. The top 16 players ranked by points after all participants had faced each other would advance.
