This isn't like season one's Initiation where some random number of people go in but a predetermined number comes out. The rules clearly defined: fours, twos, ones. Even if the entire tournament were one on one with a representative chosen from each team competing, it would still just be eight teams. If RT wants to suggest that CRDL & CFVY somehow magically competed, they'd have provide disclaimer about rules they haven't explained yet.

I'm pretty sure I already know what's in Velvet's box, but I'd like to see it anyway. Actually, the stated rules allow for 16+ teams at a minimum, as the final is 1 vs all, not stated 1 vs 1, and with the field shown to have 8 different parts, that indicates there is a chance for 8 different competitors, so the likeliest time for that is the final round, which could then be a battle royal with the exact same number of combatants on the field as the first round.

specific quote:

"The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round choosing one member to advance once again. The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom!"

"fight their way through", is not a statement you use for a 1 vs 1.
