Participants were asked to cooperate in wearing masks, measuring temperature, disinfecting hands and fingers, submitting a physical condition management check sheet, and recording the other party as an infectious disease prevention.

There were applications for about 150 people. Winning battles were held in the men's section, women's section, boys' section, and adult's section.
