User blog:Adster1005/How the Semi-Finals Should Have Been Drawn

I love things going to plan, and with things like seedings, it somewhat annoys me when it doesn't. Particularly when TPTB don't set things up correctly. Well done, you've set up the heats, and then it all goes down the pit.

So here's how I think the bracket should have been drawn for the Semi-Finalists.

Each series will be formatted like this:
 * Series #
 * Actual competing robots
 * How the first semi-final should have been drawn with the correct seeds
 * The first semi-final with the actual machines in Round 1
 * How the semi-final would pan out
 * Repeat the above, replacing 'first' with 'second'
 * How the grand final would have happened had the top 4 got through
 * The resulting grand final from the correct seeding method

The (U) next to a robot's name means it's unseeded.

We start with Series 4, because Series 1 & 3 had no seeds, and Series 2 had 6 seeds but had 12 semi-finalists, of 8 made an arena stage, meaning 2 robots would have been unseeded anyway, making it hard to judge brackets.

Yeah, straight to Series 4.

Series 4
Note: I reverted the producers decision to switch Heat F and M, so Wild Thing will be in Semi-Final 1, and Tornado in Semi-Final 2

Grand Final
Competing Robots: Dominator 2 (U), Pussycat (19), Hypno-Disc (2), X-Terminator (22)

Eliminators

 * Chaos 2 (1) vs Panic Attack (4)
 * Hypno-Disc (2) vs Razer (3) - oh, if it had gone to plan

Play-Off

 * Razer (3) vs Panic Attack (4)

Grand Final

 * Chaos 2 (1) vs Hypno-Disc (2)

Eliminators

 * Dominator 2 vs X-Terminator 2 (22)
 * Hypno-Disc (2) vs Pussycat (19) - They got this right

Play-Off

 * X-Terminator 2 (22) vs Hypno-Disc (2) - Surely H-D would withdraw again

Grand Final

 * Dominator 2 vs Pussycat (19)

So, Pussycat should have won Robot Wars: The Fourth Wars, if the seeding had been done correctly.
