Forum:2016 Structure

So, with applications nearly closed, I'm still left wondering how exactly the 2016 series will be set up. We know its only six episodes long, and I'm assuming that it's going to be a UK Championship. So, how would the structure go, I wonder? And for that matter, how many robots will actually be competing? Thus far, I can see the following possibilities.


 * 24 robots in a heat structure similar to the New Blood championship of Extreme 2. This leaves one episode spare for a special event.
 * 30 robots in a heat structure similar to the first Dutch series, complete with "wildcard".
 * 36 robots in a heat structure similar to Series 1, albeit without the trials. And yes, that includes the six-way rumble as a Final.
 * 40 robots in a heat structure similar to the second Dutch series, again complete with "wildcards".

There's probably a few other options possible, but if there are, I can't think of them. Unless, of course, it isn't a UK championship at all. Anyone got any thoughts? CrashBash (talk) 21:22, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
