It's more likely Goku loses against Frost, weakening him. Piccolo then has a chance, which by the title of the episode is a last hope Makankosappo.

Or Goku can tag out. Or they don't fight until they lose (unlike the manga). We don't know at this point. Just wait and see.

I'm thinking they swap after every match to keep everyone fresh. I know we were told differently, but I can't imagine them booting Goku out of the rest of the tournament. Maybe he gets to go twice since they have only 4 people.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I would like that to happen, however that would be too fast for goku to fight two people in one episode.

They have the habit of giving the episode title to something that happens in the last minute. So Goku might have 2.5 episode to work. It does seem fast. What was the average episode per fight in the Tenkaichi's Budokai? Anyone has any recollection?

1 episode atleast, unless it's a weakling.

My guess is that Goku vs Botamo will be a tie, and Piccolo will have the upper hand against Frost until he transforms.
This is how I predict the tournament:

Goku vs Botamo
Piccolo vs Frost
Vegeta vs Frost
Vegeta vs Magetta
Vegeta vs Cabba
Monaka vs Cabba
Monaka vs Hit

Yes, I think Beerus' team will lose.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

From the titles of episodes 31-34, it seems the anime will reach the point where Manga is at the moment, and from March I think both the Manga & anime will go at same pace until super ends, that's gr8 people won't have to wait too long to see what happens next.....

Assuming the tournament will actually finish, that sounds very plausible, as it gives Frost, Cabba, Hit and Monaka perfect conditions (and time) to show whatever skills they're hiding. Botamo and Magetta doesn't sound as important, judging by their bios.

Maybe Vegeta getting three fights in a row is too much, but there's a chance Toriyama planned to sit him out for a while after the tournament, giving Goku the spotlight again. A tie that takes Goku out right off the bat, without making him lose yet again, would make sense.

The summaries for episode #32- 34 are out. The image is cut above 32 for some reason. Translations would be appreciated.

The animation supervisor for Episode #33 is Toma Seizou, the animation supervisor for Episode #4. Fucking Piccolo is getting a good animation supervisor and storyboard artist. Holy shit.

EDIT: Whoops, wasn't paying attention when I wrote this. Piccolo's fight is in Episode #34. LOL.
