"There will be three judges evaluating all matches,"
Yamamoto explained, gesturing toward a raised viewing area where the officials would observe the competitions. "Their decisions are final and not subject to dispute or appeal."
The judges' qualifications and experience would be announced before the first matches began, ensuring transparency about who would determine advancement through the tournament brackets.
"Beyond that single restriction about premature combat, I encourage you to enjoy yourselves during your stay here," Yamamoto's tone softened slightly into something approaching warmth. "This facility offers many amenities designed for your comfort and preparation."
"Training between participants is allowed and even encouraged, as long as you avoid causing injuries to yourselves or others," he continued with practical wisdom. "However, understand that anyone who becomes injured during voluntary training sessions faces the consequences entirely at their own risk."
