=== Key features: ===
The biggest feature of the JJ Landlord Championship Cup is its original and gradually improved duplex team competition mechanism. Fighting landlords originated at the end of the last century, from the popular traditional poker game in Wuhan "run fast" evolved, and its characteristic is that the players who fight independently in traditional chess and card games are divided into two camps: "farmers" and "landlords", and "farmers" fight against "landlords" through cooperation. In this case, the regular landlord competition usually only has an individual competition, and even if it is contested in the form of multiple rounds of points competition, it is difficult to eliminate the common "luck" factor in card competition.
In order to enrich the competition system and ensure fairness, the JJ Landlord Championship Cup has created a new team competition mode of compound team competition. The compound team competition requires two teams to send four players each, and two by two groups, staggered sitting at two tables, the two tables of players are called points, the successful players become "landlords" and get hole cards, the other player at the same table automatically becomes a "farmer", and the teammates at this table withdraw from the table to watch the game. The two tables are assigned exactly the same hand, that is, the same deck of cards is handed over to the two teams to play once separately to eliminate the randomness in the traditional landlord game, to ensure the fairness of the game and pay more attention to the technical factors of the players. The mechanism of the compound team competition ensures the fairness and competitiveness of the team competition to the greatest extent, and has become a highlight of the JJ Doudi Champion Cup series [8]  。
=== Main format ===
During the period of the National Landlord Championship, the competition system changed greatly, mainly from online and offline dual channels for auditions, and then through the sub-station competition level by level, and finally the finals.

== Tournament evaluation ==
The JJ Doudizhu Championships has created a national chess and card e-sports IP through the trinity of "events, teams, and anchors", which has attracted the attention of millions of netizens and is another demonstration of the high-quality e-sports industry environment in Chengdu and Taurus.
In the past, offline competitions were difficult to scale due to factors such as venue conditions, and pure online competitions were only at the level of players' self-entertainment because there was no standardized management and event system - only by introducing the system of e-sports events can this event find a channel for improvement. On the one hand, it can not only meet the needs of players, but also make the best players stand out with the tough schedule of professional esports events. The vigorous development of chess and card e-sports is also an effective brand expansion of the current ecology, which can largely cover more age groups of e-sports users, and China's e-sports population will not only be limited to young people.
After the e-sports, players spontaneously completed the regionalization of the team, and the diversity of the participants also truly realized the concept of "e-sports for all" and lowered the threshold for e-sports.
With the innovation and upgrading of technology and competition system, the traditional Dou Landlord project is quietly building a digital ecology, and practitioners in the industry are also benefiting from it. In the era of digitalization, chess and card projects such as fighting landlords are greatly breaking through their own margins, and all the work, in the final analysis, is to let more people love and participate in chess and cards, so that China's traditional chess and card culture can be inherited and carried forward.
