I would put Tenshinhan and A-17 training together while A-18 trains with Kuririn.

Oob should be like a toddler or something right. Basically, they should abduct him and then have Majin Boo absorb him. With the full power of (Good) Evil Boo on their side, victory will be assured and then they can erase everyone's memories afterward to reduce the trauma.

I made a theory on how they become stronger... Look at the opening and the comment by Toriyama how 17 and 18 are able to become stronger

But even if they are Cell saga level... You call them fodder?

So what are Tien or Roshi... Krillin is not once said to be stronger as well. No matter if he became a power up.
That's part of the problem. They're all too weak to really be of any use. The power gaps are ridiculous. There has been zero evidence that any of them have gotten stronger. With that being said, 17 and 18 made VERY quick work of them in the android saga.

And because of this, they're going to have to nerf the other universes to find someone to match roshi, tien and krillin. Any power up they receive is instantly going to turn this arc into a joke. I don't want this to turn into Fairy Tale anymore.

Just imagine the power combination of Ultimate/Mystic Gohan + Super Saiyan God.
It's not that easy. The ritual physically drains the other participating Saiyans. The ritual isn't spammable. No point giving it to Gohan only for it to render Goku and Vegeta useless and no guarantee that Gohan can absorb it too. SSG should rightfully be off the table.

I think they should all go to the RoSaT at the same time and train there for as long as they can. Since this is a battle royal tournament, there is no better way to prepare for it than to train with your teammates.

Everyone will be a target to everyone, so each fighter needs to get used to fighting multiple people at the same time. Goku would benefit a lot from this since - as Whis said - he probably will be targeted by the other universes during the tournament.

It's a good way to come up with effective strategies and learn to work in sync with your teammates, too. Them living together for twelve months or so will make them a very tights-knit team.

They should also focus on improving their special moves as well as coming up with new techniques more than just getting stronger. We've seen multiple times in the series that even if you're weaker than your enemies, you can still do some decent damage or even defeat them if you use some effective attacks against them, like Kienzan, Makankosappo, Kikoho, Final Flash, etc.

They'll have to get used to fighting without flying as well. That won't be a problem for Roshi, though. x)

If some monkey says something like: "Nah. I want to train on my own, because pride", that would piss me off to no end. And if they go to the tournament without all of them having trained together beforehand, but despite that they are all synced with one another, and they come up with effective combinations and strategies on the spot, I'd call total BS on that.

Agree with all of this, sadly it seems that unlike the good old days where the characters would train and prep themselves for tournaments, are long gone for Toriyama, as it seems everyone is going into the tournament as is, which is bad since some of them haven't had a real fight in a long time.

It's almost like they don't have like 5 different ways to regain their stamina.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

They shouldn't. They're all god tier. They'll be just fine. Master Roshi will kick everyone's ass! and become Goku's new rival. :')
