If more than one Team selected the same player as their First Pick, the player could select the Team he would like to be a part of from the Teams that chose him. The Team(s) that wouldn't be chosen as a result of the player's choice could then select their Second Pick for their roster.

[edit]

This mission marks the second stage of P.R.I.S.M., R. for Represent, divided into two parts. The first, the "Starting Lineup Match," features the Starting Teams performing songs representing their directors. Two days into practice, some directors visit to check progress and assign key roles, such as the Killing Part/Main Vocal. After each performance, players receive individual scores from live audience votes, with the highest scorer crowned MVP. Team scores are calculated by summing all individual scores. Following the Starting Match, the "Bench Match" begins, with Bench Teams competing in a similar format. Directors again assign parts after two days, and individual and team scores are calculated the same way, with MVPs crowned for each performance.

[edit]

This mission begins the fourth stage of P.R.I.S.M., S. for Seven, split into two parts. Directors initially draft two seven-player units per team for each part, with flexibility to assign players to one or both performances or exclude them entirely. Both units perform original songs produced by their team directors. Players can practice songs they're interested in, regardless of their assignments. Two weeks before performance day, directors finalize the units, with the freedom to make changes. In the First Unit Match, units go head to head using the first original song. Team scores are given based on individual audience votes (maximum of 2,800 points per team). After this, the Second Unit Match follows the same format, with teams competing using their second original song.

### Round 4: Move (Episode 9)

[edit]

This mission begins the events of the final stage of P.R.I.S.M, with M. for "Move." The final 21 contestants who will advance to the finals are determined through a combination of fan votes and producer selections. To calculate the number of finalists chosen through fan votes, the scores from rounds 1 to 3 are combined. A first-place finish grants that team the privilege of having five contestants advance through fan votes. The second place team secures the opportunity to send three players to the final stage through fan support, and the team finishing in third place will have only one contestant selected based on fan votes. The remaining contestants needed to complete the roster of 21 finalists, by being chosen directly by the directors. These director picks are made regardless of the contestants' original team affiliations or their prior statistical performance in the competition.

### Final Round: W.A.R (We Are Ready, Episode 10)

[edit]

This episode serves as the grand finale of the competition, where the stakes are at their highest. The producers have raised the bar by assigning two songs to each team, challenging them to deliver their best performances during the live show. These performances will not only showcase the teams' talent and synergy but also determine the ultimate winner of the season. The team that secures the highest combined score from the audience votes will claim the prestigious P.R.I.S.M. Cup and earn the opportunity to debut. However, the excitement doesn't end there. In a surprising twist, the player who receives the highest number of votes from the losing teams will also get a chance to join the debut lineup. This addition will form a 9-member boy group, aptly named AHOF (All-time Hall of Famer), signifying their journey to greatness and cementing their place in the spotlight.

## Mission Results

[edit]

### Represent Results (Episode 3)

[edit]

The benefit for the final winning team this mission was to avoid getting elimination strikes, which are Yellow Cards, in this league-style format, and gaining Trade Tickets, which allow the winning team and the runner-up team to trade players with teams ranked lower than them. The final Team score was calculated by adding the score of the Starting Team and Bench Team together. Whichever Team got the highest final score would be exempt from having any of their players receiving any Yellow Cards. For the 2nd and 3rd place Teams, the bottom 3 contestants in the 2nd place Team, and the bottom 6 contestants in the 3rd place Team, in terms of individual points, would all receive 1 Yellow Card each. Once any player receives 2 Yellow Cards further down the line, he will be eliminated.

### Intercept Results (Episode 5)

[edit]

Similar to the last round, the winning team in this mission would avoid receiving Yellow Cards, and they would also earn more Trade Tickets. The final team score was determined by adding the scores of the on-site live votings and the online votings from the first voting period. Like before, the team with the highest score would be exempt from having any players receive Yellow Cards. For the second and third-place teams, the bottom three players in the second-place team and the bottom six players in the third-place team (based on individual points) would each receive one Yellow Card. If a player accumulated a second Yellow Card, they were immediately eliminated, regardless of their ranking amongst the other players.

### Seven Results (Episode 8)

[edit]

As in the previous round, the winning team in this mission would avoid receiving Yellow Cards and earn additional Trade Tickets. The final team score was calculated by combining the on-site live voting scores with the online voting results from the second voting period of each contestant. The on-site live voting scores for each player is worth 30% of their score, and the online voting results are worth 70% of their score. If any player performed in both units during Round 3, their 70% online vote score is added to their individual score from on-site voting twice, one for each of their performances. If any player were to not perform this round, their 30% on-site score would be marked as 0. Once again, the team with the highest total score was exempt from having any players receive Yellow Cards. However, for the second-place team, the three players with the lowest individual scores, and for the third-place team, the six players with the lowest individual scores, each received one Yellow Card. Any player who accumulated a second Yellow Card faced immediate elimination, regardless of their ranking amongst the other players.

### Move Results (Episode 9)

[edit]

The final team rankings for the league match, comprising of three stages; R, I, and S. of P.R.I.S.M, are determined by combining the scores from each stage together. This determines the final 21 players who will compete for the P.R.I.S.M Cup. The final 21 players would be decided by fan votes and directors' choice to build their final team for the finale. The fan-chosen players will be chosen using the results of the third voting period. The team with the highest score from the league match rankings will have more fan-secured members in that team, while lower placing teams will have less and less secured members based on where they finish. The rest of the lineup will be selected by the directors to round out the lineup. The directors have the freedom to select any contestant to add to their team, regardless of their team or rank.
