User:LiamBryant/Bryant Robot Wars: Series 8

Hello and welcome back to Bryant Robot Wars in its Eighth War. We are now at the year 2011 where the robots that year had started to get a lot more stronger and a lot more powerful than before. Plus it was the beginning of an awesome life for some new competitors who had joined the live event scene as they had gone on to be successful in future wars. Can our top seed and 2-time UK Champion Firestorm 5 do it for a record breaking 3rd time or can someone else show them how its to be done?

Format
144 robots have been split into 12 heats of 12 where they will be split into 4 x 3-way melees. The winners of these heats go into the Mini-League Stages in the second round and the robots will receive points for the following results

3 Points: For a win 2 Points: For a Judges decision 0 Points: For no win

The top two point scorers will go through to the Heat Final where they will fight for a place in the Finals. The 12 heat winners who advance onto the Finals will be split into 6 x 1v1 fights in the first round, the 6 winners will then go on to the 3 x Quarter-Final battles for a place in the Semi-Finals where 3 will go through. The 3 losing robots from the Quarter-Finals will get a second chance in the Loser's Melee to fill the last place in the Semi-Finals. In the Semi-Finals, the four robots will be split into 2 x Semi-Final battles where they will be battling for a place in the Grand-Final and the two robots who get to the Grand-Final will battle to become the Bryant Robot Wars Series 8 UK Champion.
