"The preliminary and main competitions have different formats. The preliminary will be in the familiar team battle format, with a single round-robin system. Each subdivision will select the team with the highest victory points to enter the main competition. However, the main competition will be held in a special manner. Although the competing teams will still send out seven contestants, they will battle individually. The winner stays in the arena, while the losing side sends up a new contestant, until one side has all its participating members defeated."
"Therefore, the preliminaries can be considered a display of team strength, while the main competition is a stage for individual prowess. The reason for having a main competition like this is to better identify some especially outstanding young Soul Masters from these contestant students by the two great empires and the high echelons of Martial Soul Hall."
