Chapter 437 The opening of the game(1/2)
The official competition of the National Pastry Master Competition is concentrated, but not here, but elsewhere.
Because they were elsewhere, Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi had to rush over, and Dianxin Tower was handed over to Yao Jun for care.
Now Dianxin Tower is on track, and there will be no problem leaving the two of them for the time being.
It is also because of this that the two of them can leave with confidence, otherwise they would not be able to leave.
The contestants in their area did not require them to gather together. Although they are from the same area, they are also competitors.
Of course, if you have a familiar person, you can also go there together.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi went there together.
Because there are still many days of competition, I need to stay here.
However, there is no need to worry about accommodation. The organizer has already arranged the accommodation. As long as you go to check in, someone will make arrangements.
Coincidentally, the room where Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi live is next to each other.
Gao Dian came to the room and looked at the room. It was quite good. It was not luxurious, but it was not shabby.
After checking in, Gao Dian put down his luggage and went to the next room to knock on the door.
Wei Qiaoyi opened the door and said, "Have you put your luggage in place?"
"Well, let's go out to eat something." Gao Dian said.
When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay."
This is the capital, and it goes without saying how prosperous it is.
As the center, there are all kinds of delicacies here.
Because there are many people and are available from all over the country, it brings delicious food from different places.
Of course, there is no shortage of local delicacies.
Walking on the bustling streets, the two talked about the city.
This is a city where many people realize their dreams, and it is also a city where many people feel sad.
After walking around for a long time, the two of them had eaten several delicacies, and then returned to their room.
Today I came by plane. I didn’t waste much time on the road, but it also made people feel tired.
After the two of them said good night to each other, they went back to their rooms to prepare for rest.
I have to get up early tomorrow, so how can I not rest early?
The next day.
Both of them got up very early, and the other participating chefs were the same. Everyone got up early and prepared to go to the stadium.
According to the schedule, today is the first day, and the opening ceremony is held, and there is no competition today.
The official competition starts tomorrow.
The opening ceremony began very early.
Everyone came over one after another, came to the competition venue, and sat in the seat arranged by the organizer.
This is a gymnasium, which has now been rented and temporarily changed to a competition venue.
Because this game is not made public, it does not stop people who want to come to watch the game.
As long as you want to come, there is an audience here, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to come.
In addition to the auditorium, a seating area is also set up.
This is a place specially provided for contestants to rest. Non-participants cannot sit here.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi stood together, Gao Dian looked around with curiosity in his eyes.
This was his first time participating in this competition, and it was the highest-standard pastry competition in China. Gao Dian was naturally curious.
Wei Qiaoyi, who was beside her, was also full of curiosity, but she did not look around curiously like Gao Dian. She was much more reserved, after all, she was a girl and paid great attention to her image.
The contestants arrived, Gao Dian looked at the crowd and found that there were about one or two hundred people. Gao Dian didn't know the specific number, so he could only guess the approximate number.
Suddenly, Gao Dian saw a person in the crowd.
This person was the one who gave him video evidence before, but Gao Dian didn't know his name.
Cai Guangxin also discovered Gao Dian. When he saw him looking at him, he smiled and nodded to him very friendly.
Gao Dian was stunned and then responded.
At this moment, Gao Dian seemed to understand something.
Then, Gao Dian withdrew his gaze and did not look at him again.
He continued to look and found many "acquaintances", among which Du Dawei was also there.
This surprised Gao Dian and felt that it was reasonable.
As a special first-class pastry chef, it seems that it is not impossible for Du Dawei to participate in this competition.
In addition to him, Gao Dian also recognized many people, all of whom he had seen before but were not very familiar with.
A voice suddenly rang.
"Hello everyone, all the participating chefs!"
This sound is full of energy and sounds extremely calm.
Everyone's eyes were also attracted by the voice, and Gao Dian also withdrew his gaze, and did not look around, but looked into the middle of the venue.
I saw a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the competition venue, holding a microphone.
"I am Wang Hua, the general manager of this competition. First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for participating in this competition and for your support for this competition."
Wang Hua said.
Then, he said something very official, which sounded a bit boring.
Fortunately, these words didn't last long and soon got to the point.
"About this competition, we will be held in two ways, the first is to compete in a group form, and the next is to compete in a two-person competition."
Wang Hua said.
Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi looked at each other, and Gao Dian whispered: "Is the way of this game so special?"
Wei Qiaoyi said: "I don't know either. It is said that the rules of the competition will change a little every year."
Gao Dian nodded.
The two methods are combined, Gao Dian thinks it is also good.
Wang Huadu spent a long time to digest it.
He looked at everyone and felt that it was almost done. He continued: "There are eight groups in front, and each group has 21 people."
Hearing this, Gao Dian quickly calculated in his mind that if there were eight groups, each group twenty-one, then a total of 168 contestants were involved.
Of course, I know how many people there are in the competition, but it doesn’t help the competition. Gao Dian is just a little curious about how many people there are.
Wang Hua continued: "Each group matches, the last three are eliminated. The group matches are held in a total of four rounds."
Everyone listened quietly, in the four-round group stage, the last three were eliminated in each round.
In other words, only the top nine can pass the group stage.
In the end, there are only 72 people left, which is the top 72 people?
Gao Dian felt thoughtful.
This information is not difficult to imagine. Many people thought of it after Wang Hua said it.
In fact, in the four-round group stage, more than half of the people will be defeated, 168 people will be defeated, and only 72 will be able to pass in the end, and the pass rate is not high.
The worst level of responsibility level 1 pastry chef present is the best level of the special level 1 pastry chef.
It can be imagined that the difficulty of this competition.
It is not easy to pass the group stage.
It can be said that the goal of most people present is to pass the group stage.
Because it is a four-round competition, it is not directly promoted to the top nine, so there is also a lot of room for operation in the middle.
Wang Hua waited for a while and continued, "After the group stage, the remaining players will compete in a confrontation, that is, in a group of two people, the winner will advance and be eliminated!"
"Like the selection competition, the same pasta must not be repeated in this competition." Wang Hua said.
This regulation made everyone feel awe-inspiring.
Gao Dian was also a little heavy in his heart. The existence of this rule directly increased the difficulty of the entire competition.
There are also rules in the selection competition, but the difficulty is not much improved. However, in the formal competition, this regulation will increase the difficulty by extremely terrible.
Gao Dian made a rough calculation. If he wanted to win the championship, the difficulty would be extraordinary!
First of all, the group stage is four rounds, that is, if you want to pass the group stage, you must make four pastries.
