The trainees first go through an evaluation where they preform a song by an artist under their original company and are given a rank based on their performance, Low, Middle and High and depending on how many are in the group, so many Highs can be given out. Those that are ranked as High trainees in the first few episodes are classed as the main contenders to debut while those in low get eliminated every now and again.
Eventually the girls will be split from their trainee debut groups and will be mixed and this is where it gets more interesting and the 1-8 voting system is introduced. The 1-8 system is based on who you want as your picks to debut in number order with 1 being the highest and 8 being the lowest.
Through the 1-8 system, after the first few trainees are confirmed to go through the next part, the select amount of trainees at risk of elimination will collect points regarding on how many chose them as a numbered pick and they will progress to the next part where it's everyone for themselves as they try and earn a debut spot.
