Without lengthy introductions that might test the audience's patience, the competition delved directly into the main event after a brief opening speech.
"First up, the dazzling preliminary elimination round, where twelve contestants enter the arena, and the match concludes when only four remain, with the victors moving on to the next round," the announcer declared.
"After three rounds of eliminations, we'll have the advanced rounds with groups of six contestants each, where the top two from each round will advance."
"Once two rounds of advanced matches are finished, the remaining 64 contestants will receive the Commemorative Swords of Dawnstar Lake, and then we'll move on to the final part of the competition, which we'll keep a secret for the moment, to build anticipation."
"Enough talk, let's welcome the first round of contestants!"
