"Here's the schedule for the semifinals."
In the competition committee office, Xu Jingnian sent the schedule documents to every teacher.
Zhou Yan also got one.
Tong Xin expressed slight condemnation for Zhou Yan's behavior of becoming a teacher and participating in the competition.
However, it is not just an exception for students to lead teams in the competition. There are several teams from other cities where students also lead teams. Therefore, Zhou Yan did not cause too much trouble in the circle of teachers who led the teams.
At most, many teachers came over to chat after knowing that Zhou Yan was the person in charge of Zhulang Studio.
Now everyone started to open the documents in their hands.
"For the schedule of the semi-finals, we adopted the form of random number selection. There are three tracks in total, with six teams in each track. By numbering the remaining 18 teams, we will randomly assign them to each race through the system. Tao, this can also ensure a certain degree of fairness." Xu Jingnian said with a smile.
Zhou Yan also saw Hongda's schedule at this time.
A total of 18 teams advanced to the semi-finals, including 6 teams from Hong Kong University, 4 teams from Normal University, 2 teams from University of Science and Technology, and 1 team from University of Finance and Economics, as well as one team from universities in five other cities.
It can be said that in the Xijiang Provincial Competition of this Smart Innovation Cup competition, Hongcheng’s universities came out on top.
Of course, there is also the reason that Hongcheng is the capital of Xijiang Province, and most universities are in Hongcheng.
Other cities are relatively weak.
Zhou Yan looked at the schedule and frowned: "Four teams?"
During the preliminary round, he was a little worried about what little tricks the division conference would make. He had already seen it in the preliminary round. If he hadn't been prepared, Xiaole's team might have been eliminated directly.
As a result, in the second round, we played this again?
And played harder.
There are three tracks, and track one directly assigns Hongda’s four teams.
The remaining two teams were assigned to track two.
"Isn't it a little unreasonable?" Zhou Yan looked at Xu Jingnian.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingnian asked with a smile.
"Why are there four of our huge teams on the same track?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Didn't I just say that the second round will be randomly assigned numbers?" Xu Jingnian seemed to know that Zhou Yan was going to ask this question, and said with a smile.
The expressions of the other teachers who led the team were also a bit weird. After all, Hongda’s four teams were on track one, and only three teams could qualify in the end. Doesn’t that already indicate that one of Hongda’s teams will be eliminated in the second round? .
But who told you that Hongda has too many teams? Being divided like this can only be said to be bad luck. They don't have so many teams participating, so naturally they won't have such worries.
Many leading teachers have the mentality of watching a show.
"Hongda will not accept it." Zhou Yan put down the document and said to Xu Jingnian.
"The process of random number selection has been publicized by 48 expert judges on site, and has been reported to the competition committee of Zhejiang University. It is carried out after it has been clearly approved. If you have any objections, you can go directly to the competition committee of Zhejiang University."
Xu Jingnian would not look down on Zhou Yan just because he was the founder of Zhulang Studio. In the eyes of old teachers like them, no matter how outstanding Zhou Yan was, he was just a student.
He really didn't believe that if Zhou Yan was just one person, he would be able to run Zhulang Studio well, and there would definitely be help from some teachers and classmates. He was just an entrepreneurial star, so it was nothing rare.
After all, he is just a student.
Students do not have any right to speak.
"Teacher Zhou, this has been announced. Hongda has four teams assigned to track one. It can only be said that they are unlucky. Play the game well. Even if three teams qualify, they will still make money." A teacher advised.
The problem is that he doesn't want to let go of any of them.
Zhou Yan was a little speechless. It would be okay if he was eliminated in a normal game, but now he is playing this.
What to do.
Doesn't this just notify him in advance that one team will inevitably be eliminated?
You don’t even need to compete to know who can withstand this.
The key is that they are still playing dirty tricks, and the audio and video recordings during number selection can withstand inspection.
To be honest, there is indeed an element of luck in it.
It's just bad luck that they were grouped together.
And you can’t explicitly ask people to redistribute this kind of thing.
After all, even if you are assigned to someone you are satisfied with, you will still have something to talk about. If you are satisfied, others will not be satisfied. After all, why should you choose until you are satisfied? You really think that the competition is yours.
Zhou Yan figured out the joints and realized that it was hard to say anything.
But he really didn't want to arrange it like this.
"Hong Da believes that the competition system is seriously unreasonable and requires modification of the competition system." Zhou Yan looked at Xu Jingnian and said in a deep voice.
Xu Jingnian smiled. He did not ask Zhou Yan to contact the Zhejiang Competition Committee, but said directly: "Every leading teacher here is a member of the Xijiang Competition Committee. Since Hongda has raised objections, then we will Let the competition committee vote. If the majority thinks the competition system is unreasonable, they can apply to modify the competition system."
After saying that, Xu Jingnian didn't care whether Zhou Yan was willing or not, and directly called for voting.
"Raise your hands if you are in favor of changing the competition system." Xu Jingnian said.
There were a total of fifteen committee members present, including Zhou Yan.
Only a few raised their hands.
Zhou Yan was a little surprised, because as the leading teacher of the Normal University, Tong Xin raised her hand.
Counting the other teacher who raised his hand, there were only four in favor.
"Eleven votes to four." Xu Jingnian looked at Zhou Yan: "Does Teacher Zhou still have any objections?"
Zhou Yan put down his hand and smiled: "I will represent the school to report to the Zhejiang Competition Committee, so I don't need Teacher Xu to worry about it."
"Thank you." Zhou Yan said to Tong Xin, turned and left the office.
"Very capable, but also very tough-talking." Xu Jingnian snorted coldly when he saw that Zhou Yan didn't take away Hong Da's schedule.
Tong Xin pursed her lips, looked at Xu Jingnian, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Director Xu, the four teams of Hongda..."
"Needless to say, this has been publicly announced. What's the use of him opposing it alone." Xu Jingnian was a little impatient.
"Okay." Tong Xin saw that Xu Jingnian's face looked ugly and it was difficult to say anything.
....
In the temporary office, Hongda's six competing teams gathered together.
The preliminary round had just ended, and everyone seemed very happy.
Li Qian's team was eliminated in the first round. After saying goodbye to Zhou Yan, Li Qian also led the team to leave the Normal University and return to the hotel where they stayed.
There will be a shuttle bus tomorrow morning to take Li Qian and her party back to school.
The rest are naturally the qualifying teams. Everyone should be eating and having fun at the moment, and there is not much tension in the atmosphere.
And Chen Xiaole was also telling people from other teams how arrogant a wealthy captain was, but he still walked away in despair after the game.
Fan Zheyuan interjected at this time: "Caida's strength is not weak. One of the two teams from Caida in my track also qualified."
"Old Fan is hiding his secrets. How many points will I give you?"
As the only team from Hongda to qualify on track three, Chen Xiaole also asked with a smile.
"8.99." Fan Zheyuan rubbed his head and said.
"It's pretty good, it's the preliminary round after all." Chen Xiaole said with a smile.
He was in a very good mood after winning against Lu Yaxuan.
As for the current fifty-four participating teams, there are only eighteen teams left, and the difficulty of promotion will be greatly increased. That is a matter for the future, and there is no need to think about it now when you are having fun.
"Still can't take it lightly. Normal University will continue to take advantage of their host country." Ye Anmeng reminded.
Chen Xiaole was stunned for a moment: "They can't just arrange multiple of our teams on the same track at the same time like the first round, right?"
At this moment, Zhou Yan opened the door and walked in.
Seeing that Zhou Yan's hands were empty and his expression was not right, Zhou Wan stepped forward and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong Zhou Yan?"
"Let's get better at it. This time we will be assigned to the same track as our four groups." Zhou Yan said.
"Which four groups."
"Sister Wan, yours, Xiaoxuan's, Xiaole's, and Senior Ye's," Zhou Yan said.
He actually thought it was quite outrageous. Random allocation could allocate Hongda's strong teams to one place. It was really quite random.
But for this kind of thing, you can say that he is unreasonable, but he is reasonable. Who should let others be the organizers?
Just like when there was a 520 Valentine's Day, the sports lottery ranking game could directly produce 521 and 521. The key to these two numbers was that the machine randomly picked up the number balls. Do you think it is reasonable or not?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows the meaning behind these two numbers. The key person is really like this, hey, you can't control it.
It's very similar to what Normal University is doing now.
Except for the staff who wrote the code, who can know whether it is truly random or pseudo-random.
There are really too many variables in this thing.
"What the hell? It's obviously just a deliberate stumbling block for us." Chen Xiaole said angrily.
This is much more than the taunting and hatred of the wealthy people. How can they pack their huge team together at once? Isn't this self-defeating?
Fan Zheyuan also said a little depressed at this time: "Normal University can arrange it directly, but it also randomly selects numbers to deliberately mess with your mentality. What is this called?"
"Take off your pants and fart, it's unnecessary." Chen Xiaole cursed and said, "You really don't deserve to be a human being."
"Let's protest and complain!" Liu Yun said.
"Yes, protest! Complain them, they are messing around." Chen Xiaole's last two words were spoken in dialect.
Seeing Zhou Yanfeng's calm look, he couldn't help but said, "Old Zhou, why aren't you angry at all?"
"What's the use of being angry? They're obviously trying to mess with you." Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already protested with the Zhejiang Competition Committee, and it won't take long for the results to come out."
"Will people listen to you?" Chen Xiaole asked.
"Let's try it."
Zhou Yan wasn't protesting, he just responded to the situation here with his own Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo directly said that he would give him a satisfactory answer. Zhou Yan said that he didn't need to go to such trouble and directly merged the semi-finals and finals. It’s a hodgepodge, it’s okay to advance from eighteen to five, anyway, those who should be promoted will still be promoted. Zhou Yan’s words are actually a bit arrogant. After all, he does not have the right to host the event. He cannot just change it at will. At most, he can mention it. Suggestion, but Little Fairy Yan said it would be up to her.
Of course, before the results came out, the members of Hongda were not in a good mood, especially those of the four teams. No one wanted to be arranged so thoroughly, and in the end they would have to compete with their own people for a spot.
However, there were exceptions. Xia Nuannuan and Su Xiaohan were sitting together, eating and drinking when they needed to, and watching TV shows when they needed to, as if it was none of their business.
Zhou Yan didn't get used to it and asked Xia Nuannuan to come over and sort out the project files.
Seeing that Zhou Yan went to talk to Zhou Wan, Xingxuan and the others after calling her, Xia Nuannuan was a little dissatisfied.
"Just know how to call me."
...
Organized by the division competition committee,
"This kid really went to reflect."
Looking at the temporary notification document sent from the Zhejiang Competition Committee, Xu Jingnian was a little puzzled.
Isn't this efficient too fast?
The important thing will be handled by you.
"Maybe there is something to do with the person in charge of Zhejiang University. It's not easy for us to offend." A female teacher said to Xu Jingnian.
Xu Jingnian put down the document in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This time, the competition system has really been modified. It is not just a matter of the second round. The third round of finals is now directly cancelled, or the semi-finals and finals are combined into one game, and the 18th and 5th rounds are directly promoted. The final.
All the judges and experts on site participated in the evaluation work, and 18 teams took the road show together to determine the final gold and silver awards.
It is also very convenient to judge. Those with a comprehensive ranking between six and nine will get the silver medal, and those with a comprehensive ranking in the top five will get the gold medal. They can advance to the national competition, which saves a lot of twists and turns.
"Let's reconvene the meeting." Xu Jingnian sighed.
He didn't know what his school meant. He clearly wanted to get a few more places to cross the finish line. For this reason, he did not hesitate to make some manipulations in the competition system to eliminate the huge teams as much as possible. Now they are not happy and have reported it to the higher ups. It's good. The competition system was directly changed.
The three rounds were changed to two rounds, obviously to prevent them from messing around.
...
"The Zhejiang University Competition Committee informed that due to the unfair schedule arrangement during the competition hosted by the Normal University, the competition system of the competition area has been temporarily modified, the semi-finals have been cancelled, and all 18 teams have entered the finals to determine the five qualifying places for the national competition."
Xu Jingnian said the notice and ordered his assistants to distribute the revised documents to the nine leading teachers who came to attend the meeting.
"You should be satisfied now." Xu Jingnian said helplessly to Zhou Yan.
He found that there was really nothing he could do about this boy.
"It's not a question of whether I'm satisfied or not. Some things can be done, but we can't do them too much," Zhou Yan said.
"But our process also ensures fairness." Xu Jingnian was a little annoyed but said suppressing his temper.
Zhou Yan smiled: "There may be loopholes in any competition system. You can ensure fairness, but if you find something unreasonable, it can't be justified if you don't change it. I'm just reporting it to the superiors, and I don't expect others to adopt it." ."
He said it quite indifferently.
"you...."
Xu Jingnian found that he really couldn't help Zhou Yan. His meaning was very clear. You promise to be fair. It has nothing to do with me. I should reflect on it.
This guy is so crazy and arrogant.
The key person might actually have some background.
How did Xu Jingnian know that the organizers of Zhejiang University were all Zhou Yan's people, and it was even because of Zhou Yan that he coordinated to reflect the relaxation of competition restrictions.
He took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yan: "The school's handling was somewhat arbitrary and did not comprehensively consider the opinions of each school. I'm sorry."
Zhou Yan nodded, took the final schedule document, and left directly.
Tong Xin looked at Zhou Yan's back, which was a bit complicated. He was not simple, not simple at all.
