Competition Format

 * In the first four qualifying heats:
 * The First Stage and Second Stage consist of three matchups. The running order would be decided by each competitors' seeding. The male competitor with a lower seeding or no ranking would compete in the first matchup, the female competitor would compete in the second matchup, while the captain (if the captain is a male competitor) or the male competitor who had a higher seeding would compete in the third matchup.
 * In the First Stage:
