Here's how I think it'll play out: most likely at least 1/3 of the contestants would be immediately gunning for Goku. Let them. While he's running around the edge of the arena, a troop of u7 fighters could easily pick off most of them. Tien might be collateral damage here.
Buu is likely to get rekt, because who cares. 17 will probably get rekt by some crazy threat to show how much of a threat they are [edit: probably Jiren.] Krillin will probably solar flare his way through at least 4-5 opponents, and then get ringed out by some sneak attack. 18'll make it through because she's pretty tourney savvy [edit: and by ringing out whoever took out Krillin.] Roshi will probably also make it through with some trickery.
Piccolo will get ringed out defending Gohan [but he'll defeat Frost.] Goku and Vegeta will probably both double ring out by Jiren and Girl Brolli. Gohan will probably beat the Pride Troop in a pose off/fight, and ultimately come through because Goku believes in him.

None of this is going to happen. The tournament will not conclude in a winner, it is going to devolve into some kind of free for all fight against the gods. No tournament in Dragonball history has ever stuck to the rules straight through the end. Something always get hosed up that turns it into a real battle.

It was going to happen at the end of the U6/U7 tournament but Zeno cock blocked us.

Just let yourself become a worthless person!
The tournament with Piccolo is the other way around! Everyone thinks it's a fight to save the world, except Goku, who knows it's just a tournament and still angles for the win.

He winds up being right, too.

he turned into a giant ape and broke the ring and the building a little bit before roshi blew up the moon

second tournament had tien destroy the ring and the winner was the one that hit the ground last

third tournament had piccolo destroy the ring and surrounding area and then goku beat him up and he left

also if you count the one if the buu saga, half the fighters left early and I think they changed the format into a battle royale? anyway satan bribed 18 into taking a dive at the end

I like how even after the Supreme Kai said 'I'm gonna go check out other worlds to see if there are any strong fighters', he's still just loving sitting at Bulma's house eating with Beerus.

This universe deserves to be destroyed because both the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction just do not do their loving jobs.

supreme kai can instantly teleport to anywhere in any universe, at any point in time; there are only 20 something planets with life on them in the entire universe apparently

it probably didn't take him that long to check each planet. he probably did a bad job of it because that's his whole thing, but I can believe that he at least tried in the time since he said that

meanwhile on new namek like 5 namekians are god level or something but i don't think shin even knows about new namek because he counted namek as one of the destroyed planets when thinking about people to recruit

There being only 20 planets with life on them makes no goddamn sense considering that Frieza ran a space army with a bunch of different races and sold planets.

That's Toriyama for you I guess.

Manatee Cannon

maybe those 20 planets are really big and everyone moved to them when joining frieza's empire or space jellyfish's kingdom

maybe the saiyans were for clearing planets and frieza had separate squads for deporting aliens to other planets

maybe nobody at toei thought that hard about the number and don't care if it makes sense

Monaghan

Yeah I really don't care that much. Part of the charm of dragonball is toei and toriyama making it up as they go along.

Clearly Friezas space army, the abysmal number of remaining planets, and U7s low mortal level are all connected.

pretty sure frieza picked his soldiers off of worlds he genocided also i think it was frieza buying planets off of the saiyans after they genocide them how frieza got the spacebucks to do so who knows.

I'm honestly banking on a translation error or something like that. Maybe he meant there's only about twenty planets worth looking at? Twenty planets where they developed martial arts rather than just ray guns?

A few of the surviving 28 planets, obviously.

We have no reason to believe Freeza wouldn't kill the buyers who failed to pay or stopped being useful, either, so who knows how many of those people are actually alive, much less their planets.

Frieza's had a much more sound corporate strategy then Umbrella ever did, I'm offended you put the two on the same level.
