Say, for students to enter the tournament, wouldn't they still have to come in pairs? Mercury and Emerald are partners so no issue there, but if they're in a team then wouldn't they need an extra member unless it was a special circumstance.

If Cinder really is of 'correct' age to be applicable as a student, then where is her partner? Is it possible we're looking at further proof of a relationship between Cinder and Summer? I'm sure that if someones partner died a team would simply continue to go on with 3 members.

Then again theres a pretty obvious age difference and Summer would of had to of had Ruby in her early teens so clearly I'm either missing something here or I'm on the wrong trail completely.

Could be Cinder's on her own a la Penny, and it turns out that Mercury and Emerald are teamed up with the Malachites, which actually makes a certain amount of sense.
