Prefectural Representative Selection Ceremony for the individual  competition has begun!  Few turn out for the presentation, as preparation is the number one priority.  As the names of the competitors are placed on the board, the Kiyosumi Mahjong Clubs vows to give it their all and focus on their training for the competition ahead.  Meanwhile, a figure lurks in the shadows...
There were so many boys, so there were
eliminations in the morning.
كان هُناك الكثير من المُشاركين لِذا تمّ استبعاد البعض في الصباح
Había muchos chicos, así que 
hicieron eliminatorias en la mañana.
On était encore plus nombreux 
chez les hommes,
C'erano così tanti partecipanti, che hanno 
fatto le eliminatorie già dal mattino.
Havia tanta gente que houve
eliminações já pela manhã.
