The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 465: Substitute Wins Points
Very exciting.

Except for the top eight, the group ranking tournament will be the final ranking tournament for the remaining club teams. It is conceivable that all teams will regard the ranking tournament as the final.

The first stage was very intense. Before the game started, the fierce atmosphere of the competition was already in the air.

"The second stage is the team relay elimination competition, which is also the final. It will adopt a one-on-one PK elimination competition system. The competition item is a five-meter four-handed rod fishing mixed fish weight competition."

"The top eight club teams will determine their PK matchups based on their results in the first stage. The first-placed team in the first stage will play against the eighth-placed team, the second-placed team will play against the seventh-placed team, and so on."

"The team relay elimination tournament consists of three rounds, namely the semi-finals, the semi-finals and the finals."

"The semi-finals and the semi-finals will be played in a best-of-three format, and the finals will be played in a best-of-five format. Each game will last 30 minutes, with a 10-minute break after each game, and the two teams will swap positions."

"Each team can only send three athletes to participate in each round. Each athlete fishes for ten minutes, and then another athlete takes over."

"The total weight of the fish caught will determine the winner of each round. The winner will get one point, and the loser will get no points. The team that first gets two points will win and advance."

"If the two teams in the PK match do not catch any fish during the specified period of each round, and there is a tie, the round with fish will be used, and the team with the higher fish weight will win."

The rules of the second stage of the competition are very simple. It is a showdown between club teams. There are no longer three competition items, only mixed fish weight competition.

Each round is relayed by three athletes, with two wins in three rounds or three wins in five rounds. It not only tests the comprehensive fishing skills of the athletes, but also tests the team members' ability to cooperate.

After all, it is a relay race. The fishing habits of the previous contestant may affect the next contestant, so we need to consider their cooperation and adaptability in fishing.

This is a team game.

"Special instructions."

"In this event, in addition to the prize money for the top eight teams, the teams that ranked ninth to sixteenth in the first qualifying round will also receive prize money, and the top thirty-two teams will receive medals and certificates."

“The remaining teams will receive corresponding athlete points based on the CAA Class I rankings, so please take every game and every inning seriously.”

Finally, the chief referee made a reward reminder.

The reward rankings are similar to those of other competitions. For 17th to 32nd place, there are only medals and certificates as rewards, and the top 16 teams will receive bonuses.

In fact, this year's competition is relatively simple.

As previously considered, there are too few award winners, too many runners-up, and CAA has not yet developed professional athletes. For those runners-up, it is somewhat disappointing to run all over the country but gain nothing.

Therefore, the fishing association in later generations considered increasing the number of awards and using this to improve the competition.

Just like the Fishing Club Challenge, the competition system can be further improved, starting from the first stage of the ranking competition, and the qualified teams will participate in the final.

This ranking allows you to directly advance to the top 16.

The teams that fail to qualify will participate in the qualifying round. The competition system will be divided into the main competition and the qualifying round. The main competition will reward the top sixteen, and the qualifying round will add bonuses and prize seats.

In this way, more winning teams will be covered, the probability of participating athletes winning awards will be greater, the enthusiasm for the competition will definitely be stronger, and the richness of the competition system will make the event more exciting.

But as mentioned before, the competition system of each type of event has very flexible adjustment space. It is almost impossible to get full marks in one go, and continuous improvement brings stronger effects and expectations.

"Please all participating athletes get ready. The first stage of the National Fishing Club Challenge Finals begins now."

After the chief referee read out the rules, procedures and rewards of the competition, he looked at the time and blew the starting whistle on time when it was exactly eight o'clock.

In an instant, all 144 athletes in the pond were casting their rods quickly. The tense and exciting atmosphere spread instantly, and Chen Ming's commentary could be heard from the commentary room.

“The first stage of the Club Challenge adopts a round-robin system, so although each team’s three athletes are on the field at the same time, they are competing in different events.”

"They will cycle through the three events to avoid time conflicts, simplify the competition system and optimize the competition time."

The round-robin system, the word "round-robin" perfectly optimizes the schedule. If a round-robin system is not designed, each team has three athletes participating in three events respectively, a total of nine games, which means it will take at least nine hours to compete.

That race would be too long.

Although it is a three-person event in the same cycle, in terms of the overall schedule, it is equivalent to a triathlon and the first stage of the competition can be completed in the morning.

"Swoosh, swoosh."

Although it is a club team competition, the players who can enter the national finals have good fishing skills and soon we can see the continuous scene of fishing rods being raised.

The frequencies are very high.

"Master, there will be no problem. Even if most of them are the finalists of the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Competition and the Championship, they will be no less capable than anyone in the three events." The yellow-haired man said, looking at the competition venue.

"Little Fish King can also get rankings and awards in a first-class competition, so his results should not be bad. The team's results still depend on Xu Bai's performance." Dongfang Qingyang sometimes looked at the competition field, and sometimes looked at the real-time competition situation on the big screen of the competition.

The two of them are substitutes. If there is no substitution, they naturally cannot play and can only watch the game from the sidelines.

Club competitions are similar to the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League in that they are both team competitions, and basically all of them are club teams formed by fishing tackle brands.

Although some top anglers are not in the fishing tackle industry and therefore have not formed a club, they can be invited to join a club.

There are still many top experts working in the fishing gear industry, and club competitions only count the results of three team members, so the margin for error is lower.

The advantage of the Chen team is not as obvious as that of the Fishing Brand Super League.

Wang Heng's fishing ability is beyond doubt. His strength as a double champion in a Class I event is unquestionable. He is also very strong in catching small fish, with stable performance and good results.

However, due to the short board effect, the most crucial player in the team competition is still Xu Bai, and his performance can determine the team's results.

And the results shown in real-time are indeed true.

"The master's performance was indeed very stable. In the first round of crucian carp fishing, the target fish ranked in the top three. The results of each event and each round are very important, and we must try to get the highest score."

"The results of the small fish king 4.5 meter mixed fish weight competition are also good, and there is a chance to be ranked fifth and third."

"Brother Xu has to work harder. He ranked in the 20th place in the 5.4-meter pole weight competition. This result is only in the middle. It's hard to say whether it's above or below. It has a significant impact on the team's results."

The two looked at the real-time game rankings with some anxiety.

I am mainly worried about Xu Bai's grades.

After all, only the quarterfinals will advance in the first stage, and the places are scarce. If you are not careful, you may not even qualify for the second stage.

"Xu Bai's luck was a little worse. He drew the competition number card for the third event. There are relatively more experts in this competition. There are quite a few in the top 50 of the first-class competition."

Dongfang Qingyang whispered, "It looks like we need to make a substitution during the halftime break."

In the round-robin event, 48 teams and 144 athletes compete on the same field, but it is divided into three events, which means that there are 48 people competing in each event.

The fishing event is determined by the drawn competition number card. Competition numbers 1 (+3) and so on are for the first event, the -meter hand-pole fishing for target fish.

The 2 (+3) and other competition numbers are for the four to five meter mixed fish weight competition.

The 3 (+3) and other competition numbers are for the -meter mixed fish weight competition.

After each competition, they will participate in other events in a cycle. This means that there will be 48 people competing in each event, and there is a certain degree of uncertainty in the selection of participating events.

Or maybe it was luck. For example, Xu Bai at this moment, as far as the Chen team was concerned, he was the third seed, but there were many first and second seeded players competing with him.

Although this can ensure the results of the other two games to a great extent, it will naturally be more difficult for him to achieve good results.

"beep."

The match was very intense. The first half ended quickly after half an hour and the chief referee blew the halftime whistle.

If there is a last-minute fish, they will quickly lift the rod and release the fish, and then each club team will quickly gather together to discuss the next tactics and whether to make substitutions.

"Xu Bai, you take a rest in the second half. How about Qingyang replace you?"

As the captain of the Chen team, Wang Heng arranged the second half of the first game.

According to the rules of the tournament, substitute players can be substituted in the first and second half, but they cannot be exchanged between round-robin matches. He and Xiao Yuwang cannot replace Xu Bai in the game.

"Okay." Xu Bai did not insist on fighting.

Dongfang Qingyang's fishing skills are similar to his, at the same level, and his performance in the first half was not very good. Although he did not make any obvious mistakes, his overall performance was mediocre.

If Dongfang Qingyang takes over, maybe he will perform better.

Sports events involve some element of performance and luck, and fishing events are no exception.

"Brother, keep up the form and try to get into the top three." Wang Heng went on to encourage Xiao Yuwang.

"Sure." The little fish king nodded heavily.

Just now he caught a last-minute fish at halftime, successfully securing the fourth place. The gap between him and the top three was not that big, and he could make a comeback with just one fish.

There is great hope of reaching the top three.

"Master, stay calm." The yellow-haired man encouraged Wang Heng.

At the end of the first half, Wang Heng temporarily ranked first in the fish tail number competition. Although the gap between him and the second and third place was only one fish, and the gap was not widened, he still had the initiative.

With Wang Heng's strength, as long as he keeps steady, his results in the round-robin tournament will definitely not be bad.

He is responsible for the overall team performance.

"Ah."

Wang Heng nodded gently, drank some water, and said to Huang Mao: "You should adjust your condition and be ready to fight at any time."

"I'm always in the best condition." The yellow-haired man patted his chest and smiled, full of confidence.

This is the advantage of yellow hair.

He has a carefree and straightforward personality and a very stable mentality. Even if he complains a little about the competition, he doesn't take it to heart.

His mentality is particularly suitable for competitions, and his fishing skills are not bad. He will definitely have a chance to perform depending on the situation.

"Please return to your positions and prepare for the second half."

The rest and adjustment time passed quickly, and the chief referee reminded the athletes to enter the venue. Soon, the starting whistle for the second half sounded, and the intense competition continued.

"It seems that Master's Wife is more suitable for fishing today. She caught a large fish quickly at the start. Although the players in front also caught fish, the difference of this fish should allow Master's Wife to move up a few places." The yellow-haired man smiled as he watched the real-time competition situation.

As expected, after weighing and verification by the referee team, Dongfang Qingyang accumulated Xu Bai's fish catch and successfully broke into the top 20, ranking 18th.

"According to the current results, the first team result should be able to advance, but if we want better results, Master's wife can still work harder."

Huangmao looked at the results on the big screen and estimated.

Xu Bai was holding a bottle of mineral water and looking at the big screen, a smile appearing on his face.

Although Dongfang Qingyang moved up his ranking right from the start and seemed to be performing much better than him, he didn't have any thoughts and was just happy.

The Club Challenge is a team competition, and everyone’s efforts are aimed at only one goal, which is to go all out to get the best team results.

Individual performance is not important as long as it contributes to the team's performance.

"Fifteen."

Huangmao and the others had been paying close attention to Dongfang Qingyang's performance and results. As they watched his ranking continue to move up, the smiles on their faces grew wider.

There is no need to worry about the results of Wang Heng and Xiao Yuwang. Both of them have the ability to provide a backup. It mainly depends on the performance of the third seed. If they can achieve good results, the final team results will definitely not be bad.

Dongfang Qingyang's performance was indeed good, and his ranking continued to rise. However, he seemed to have encountered a hurdle around the 15th place, and he kept going back and forth, unable to make a complete breakthrough.

"beep."

The half-hour competition passed quickly, and the chief referee blew the final whistle on time. All the athletes, whether they had caught a last-minute fish or not, quickly raised their fishing rods.

“There’s a buzzer fish.”

Huangmao and Xu Bai stared at the arena, both with delighted expressions.

Although Wang Heng did not hit the buzzer, his lead continued until the end and he maintained the first position. Brother Xiaoyuwang did hit the buzzer.

The most important thing is that Dongfang Qingyang also has a buzzer beater. I wonder if he can move up a few places in this one.

As the referee team quickly verified the results, the final results of the first triathlon were soon announced.

"Master's wife, you are great."

When Huangmao saw the final results on the big screen, he couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly.

As expected, Wang Heng won the championship of the target fish tail number competition. Brother Xiaoyu Wang also performed very stably and successfully won the third place.

The most exciting thing is that Dongfang Qingyang finally got the 13th place.

Coming on as a substitute, he moved up eleven places at halftime.

The substitutes winning points is a great help to the team's performance.

"Why is there no total score?" Xu Baiqing asked doubtfully.

The results have been determined, but the overall points ranking is not available. Does this mean that the Club Challenge will have to wait until the three players have completed three rounds and nine games before announcing the total points?
"Out."

Just when I was wondering, the yellow-haired man suddenly pointed to the big screen of the event.

“I just got this rank.”

Looking at the temporary ranking of total points, Huangmao and Xu Bai were a little surprised, but not the kind of surprise that was so bad that it was beyond expectations, but the kind of surprise that was different from expectations.
