In particular, the traditional olympic, table and wt races, with a five-class three-class win, win three games (usually five-cys), and can end early. The shanghai competition, on the other hand, is based directly on the rules of the international ping union mixed group world cup, which is based on a total of 15 eights, and is based on the cumulative number of winnings。
Fundamental change in winning and losing units: from "discretion" to "press"
This change sounds simple, but directly affects the logic of the game。
In the traditional group races, the basic unit for determining the winner is the "discretion". For example, in a race, team a won at 3:0, the male at 3:2, and team b at 3:1, the female at 2:1. The next set of "a" boys will just take it, be it 2:0 or 3:0, and the game will be over. Under this model, the first sets within a single disk may have limited significance。
The logic of shanghai is completely different. The order of the competition is fixed as follows: single male, single female. Each project must be forced to complete three rounds, without the traditional two-win rule of early ending of individual lines. This means that there are only two possibilities: 3:0 or 2:1. All five rounds were completed, and the number of the directorate general of theory coincided with 15。
The core of the winning and losing decisions has been the fact that the cumulative winnings of either party have been the first to reach eight, that the competition has been terminated immediately and that the remaining outstanding items have been cancelled directly. This has radically changed the possibility of “water release” and “strategic abandonment”. Two-to-one, instead of winning the game, you're ahead of one, and there's four more projects ahead. Each round has a direct impact on the overall direction。
The suspense of "go to waste time" and the strategy of "go to star."
The most immediate effect of this system is the total elimination of “waste time”。
The traditional group races are often marked by the fourth or the fifth race being reduced to a “show game” after team a's 3:0 lead. But in shanghai, as long as you don't win eight, you'll have to fight. This gives the backward side much room for error and the possibility of reversal。
For example, the first round of the city cycle, the song river versus the mountain. After a single fight between the pine rivers and the men, they fell behind at 2:6 and the score reached 3:7, with only one game short of the eight games that the opponent won, standing near the cliff。
However, it was in the context of the twin-boy project that the song river team scored successively, culminating in an 8:7 dramatic reversal, which was the time when all 15 games were clearly covered in public coverage. Readers can imagine that if team a leads by 3:0 by the traditional rules, the game may be over。
It also changes the team's chances of winning. The traditional amateur races are prone to a situation in which “a certain player dies with a hammer”. Under this system, because of the full coverage of the five projects and the equal weight of each game, the test is the overall depth of the team rather than the level of a single star. Zhou wanchun, director-general of carting district sports, has publicly read the rule “new and cruel”。
There was also widespread feedback from the contestants, and the “no room for water” formula, which each bureau had to do its best to magnify the value of teamwork。
Bipolarity of the experience: 1. 5-hour summary vs hours war
This game is completely different for the audience。
On the one hand, a strong and weak matchmaking can be quickly concluded. For example, in the first round of the city competition, it took only nine to end the battle at 8:1 and the whole game took only an hour and a half. The pelicans also ended at 8:2 pm. This has saved valuable space and audience time costs for mass events in the business community。
On the other hand, an even-handed rivalry can generate great suspense. The semi-finals of the pudong new district selection contest, which were scheduled to begin at 1 p. M., were delayed by 1. 5 hours as a direct result of the alternation and stalemate in multiple competitions. When the award guests arrived at 4 p. M., the semi-finals were not finished and had to sit on the scene and watch two and a half hours of good fighting。
For the general public, the threshold of understanding is extremely low. A passer-by walks into a commercial arena without having to find out the complicated rules of allocation and exit. ** and because of “every game has to be fought”, even if one of the projects starts in the middle, the tension in the game is felt immediately, and that is what the organizers want to do: let ping-pong ball go from closed professional halls to commercial circles and become a cultural party for all。
