The cops are Burnie and Joel and stated they felt they don't get paid enough, Dumb Cops, Roman wears gloves, uhhh... Where the hell was the news about a book shop owner getting shot in the face?

Oh, I'm sure Ironwood is aware of the Paladin thing, considering Winter talked about it. That's probably part of why he specifically got custody of Roman. Sure, the attack was on Vale, but it was using stolen Atlas tech, and it wasn't just petty thievery like the usual. He's probably been beating the shit outta Roman since Breach (as much as I love Roman, I hope Ironwood has actually been doing something to him to try to force him to talk during interrogations). Speaking of which, when are we gonna see Roman again?!!

The partnerships have been alluded to again, though. They're how the teams were matched up, and they've explained the importance of teams.

For the Velvet thing... Can we ask if unsanctioned fights on school grounds are against the rules? Since someone could take it too far and keep hitting after the other person's Aura is depleted. 'Cause if so, that would be why no one attacked CRDL. No one felt like getting in trouble for it.

That wasn't the qualifying match. It was practice, a spar. Glynda said "You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament" not "Good job, you are now qualified for the tournament."
