Oh for the love of...have you people never seen a tournament arc in your life? We don't need to know their motives, their likes, their dislikes or what color their underwear is because they don't matter that much.

All they really need to do is dedicate maybe 5 minutes to get a grasp of the teams dynamic and that's it. Most of them are likely only there as opponents that will appear in the tournament and will barely have any role to the end plot of this volume. So relax, I've seen tornament arcs that quadrupled the number of characters and I'm happy to say they didn't blow up.
