This tournament hedges all on the rules; battle royale, everyone vs everyone, no flying, no items, no deaths, and ring out only victories. 40 minutes to decide the fate of the universes.
You need people very smart about knocking people out of the ring, not just people who are strong. Also no flying, Gotenks is useless without flying.
