User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Volume 2 Intro In Depth- Team CRDL/@comment-9090085-20140526002109

"Monty mentioned that the combat tournament will be one by one with substitutions, like Pokémon"

Ah, so that's how it's going to be done. I suppose that strikes a sort of balance between one-on-one and team-on-team battles.

...hmmm... Then that would make the sequence where Pyrrha fights CRDL in the opening a "representative" rather then an "actual" scene; it "represents" that she might intend to fight all of team CRDL in a series of one-on-one fights. Maybe. Just a guess.
