Opening

After everyone had taken their positions, Whis, Vados, and Kusu each nodded to their respective Gods of Destruction before rising into the air. The three divine staffs pointed skyward at the same time. Strange rays shot out from the crystal balls, converging to form a faint protective barrier around the martial arts arena.

Then, as the tournament's announcer, Vados's cool voice echoed through the venue:

"Allow me to briefly explain the rules of the tournament!"

"This inter-universal tournament is jointly organized by Lord Champa, Lord Beerus, and Lord Chaya. The Supreme Kais of the three universes will serve as supervisors. The rules are very simple. Each universe will have five contestants, and the tournament will use a continuous elimination format. Each universe must send one contestant onto the stage at a time. The three sides in the arena will be opponents to one another. When a contestant is eliminated, they will be replaced. Once all contestants from one universe have been eliminated, that universe will be declared defeated and eliminated, while the remaining two universes will continue competing."

"The universe represented by the final contestant remaining in the arena will be the victor."

"The prizes are the Super Dragon Balls, Crystal Dragon Balls, and Universe Marks. The victorious universe will receive the Super Dragon Balls and Crystal Dragon Balls. In addition, the ownership of Earth in Universe 7 is included in the contest between Universe 6 and Universe 7."

"Furthermore, because Universe 10 has voluntarily given up the Super Dragon Balls, if Universe 10 wins, then according to Lord Chaya's request, it will receive the Universe Marks of a group of people from Universe 6 and Universe 7. The Super Dragon Balls will go to the lower-ranked universe instead."

Vados gave a simple and clear introduction to the rules.
