When I first heard of the hunter's championship, a lot of things came to my mind.
Granted, most of them had to do with fighting or similar competition, but there were truly a lot of ways for the hunters to compete.
The more I read regarding the hunter's competition, the more bothersome it seemed to me. Especially the first few rounds which were designed to weed out the teams that were just there to have fun.
For example, the first round was not even a real fight, but a written quiz where we had to answer as many questions related to dungeons as possible.
I looked at the questions from previous years and they were not tough. But any team that had no interest in dungeons wouldn't be able to qualify for this round.
The next few rounds were similar as well, testing for agility and one's senses against the dungeon monsters.
