In the center of the SoFi Stadium pitch was an immense circle, marked with clean white lines that delineated a boundary that the contestants could not leave, according to the instructions.
Presenter Peter, a tall, charismatic man, stood with the contestants in the center of the circle and raised the microphone once again. His voice resonated through the arena.

But before we begin, I want to remind you all that this is the last day of the NIST National Tournament, run in partnership with Hónghé Holdings!"
