Was it said that each Universe will have 10 fighters or is that only confirmed for U7?

I think that indicates exactly the opposite. They know from the start what are the stakes involved. We see no manga panels with the other team members, so the team doesn't seem to be gathered at that point. It also explains why 17 is there, who isn't exactly close to the others.
He could have just taken the strongest fighters in his universe because it is the match against other gods of destructions in a sense..
You need the best you can get..
They most definitely didn't know the the stakes would be so damn high
They had to know because otherwise Beers wouldn't know how many fighters he would need to bring.

I'm sure the other Gods are really happy that Champa and Beers decided to hold a tournament of their own, which is the reason they now fight for their lives :P

We have to assume it is 10 for each as why would any god of destruction choose less than 10 when it automatically puts them at an obvious disadvantage.

I hope this arc will be really long. Not only cause they're changing the OP for this saga, but there's also no way they could fit all of this in the short amount of episodes that they've been doing. Plus they've been building this since the Champa arc, no way they'd make it so short.
See, here's the thing..
They shouldn't make it short, at any costs..
But they tend to do so all the time..
It seems like they really gotta pee but telling the story comes first..

This arc should substance wise surpasses namek saga, they really need to not rush it in any way this time..
It seems like they are trying, I am sure the animation would be good where it counts but the story framing aspect, Not so sure about that
Super's pacing is on par with most modern anime that doesn't follow a manga or is seasonal. They're short, to the point, and don't waste time. The days of mega arcs are over.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

He very well could have just known the total fighters you could bring..
Dosen't necessarily means he knew what the price was for defeat..

Oh the other gods would be really happy.. I am sure all of them will take berrus to the back alley and have a friendly chat with him, in the god of destruction way

Based on what? You haven't seen the arc or the story. Fans also thought the Future Trunks Saga would be a mega arc, while it lasted 20 episodes.

It was confirmed to be 10 each.

Common sense. We have 120 fighters , even if 70% of the fights were of screen we would still have a lot of fights.

I'm thinking the stakes for Gokus universe are different for everyone else's as punishment for their various rule infractions. Like I bet for everyone else it's a fun tournament but Beerus is probably in hot sh*t right now so it's a must win situation.

And if they move like most fights in Super they would be one episode at the most with some two-parters. And that's not including if they have team battles.

There has to be many rounds as well as there is 12 universes. I think 35-50 episodes.

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.

Universe 7 wins by chance..
Universe 6 is destroyed, half of super Dragonballs are gone.
They cannot wish them back

They still haven't though, why would they? Where will they keep it? Who knows which universe will win, it could be 6 or 7..
At least Half of Super Dragonballs are getting destroyed

What if U6 vs U7 tournament finals ends up in a draw? Having the tourney ending in a draw would be a very unexpected ending, with that u could have them collect the SDBs and restore the destroyed universes. :thumbup:

The super Dragon Balls are the prize. Grand Priest is probably taking care of everything so he probably got them to give out as prize to whoever won the tournament. It doesn't make sense to go search for the prize only after the tournament starts.

Wait... Is it confirmed super Dragonballs are the prize?
Because according to my knowledge there is no prize as of yet.
The people holding the tournament don't even know about super Dragonballs, at least we are not shown it's common knowledge
