Forum:Series 7 Audited Series Framework

There are a few things I think we need to agree on before beginning the process of choosing bin candidates and seeds.

New Judge
There's now a place available for a third judge, I gave Matt first choice, but he hasn't replied to the offer and is now going to be absent for a while. I want to be fair about this, but I don't really know how, so if you would like to put yourself forward to have a stab at it, or you want to nominate someone else, or CrashBash and RA2 (the remaining judges) want to choose your own stand-in, then please enter the discussion below.

Heat Structure
I'm making it plain now that I plan to have 16 heats with 8 robots in each, but there has been a split decision really on how to structure the heats for Round 1, either 4 way melees or 4 head to heads. I am strongly in favour of head to heads, as many of us have tried melees before, and the discussions and justifications were just too ambiguous, so it rather defeated the object. However, I want to be fair, so I'll leave it to a vote. Sign your username below, but if you want melees, I expect a good justification alongside your signature.

Side competitions
I plan to have side events running with each heat, like in the TV show, but I also thought we could have an All-Stars and World Championship at the end of the series too, let's face it an Annihilator wouldn't really work. If the side events include qualifiers, the World Championship should be okay, and if the numbers don't quite work for the All-Stars, then we can omit that one, there's no point having one like Extreme 2 for finalists. Write below on your thoughts.
