Anyway, it just sounds like you're criticizing an anime for being unrealistic, which is as productive as me telling you that you should just accept it. If you have a problem with goofy premises and surrealism, this might not be the series for you.
In my opinion, considering how they reacted to the idea of injuring people, it makes sense that they'd need to find another method of competition. People say that sports emulate and fulfill people's desire for combat, after all.

Hell no, one of my favorite series from the past season was Zombie, and it doesn't get more unrealistic than that. Although I was a bit disappointed that all the vampire ninja's doing a maid orchestra in the last fight, but since the series has thrown random crap all through it so it was still okay.
Here is how this first episode could have been a bit better I dare say. If when he was summoned had dropped smack dab in the very middle of the battle, didn't know what was going on so he thought everyone was really fighting (as we would have as well since we would not have known the truth) and it led up to him accidentally winning the contest without himself realizing it.
That, I think could have been a much better punchline while still keeping it lighthearted. Because it sets up the end to where you want to know more about whats going on the next episode. In reality the princess calmly explains it all to him in safety on the sidelines.
