User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Round one." (RWBY-V3E1)/@comment-4010415-20151026201205/@comment-27087951-20151026202002

Let me try to simplify that:

1234 and ABCD pass the first round.

For the second round is 1&2 or 3&4 and A&B or C&D, each in pairs chosen by the teams they belong to.

For the last round it's 1, 2, 3, 4, and A, B, C, D, individually.

Then it would be 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, A vs B, and C vs D. The winners would fight, for example: 1 vs A and 3 vs C, leading to the winners fighting: 1 vs 3.

Or at least...that's what I understood. Still wondering why not just make all the fights 4 based, I mean they still need to be 4 to even participate anyway. And forcing them to divide the group twice can cause strife.
