User:LiamBryant/Bryant Robot Wars: Second European Championships

Hello and welcome to the Second installment of the Bryant Robot Wars European Championships! This one is set to the year 2011 and is also the first to set the trend for future International Competitions as I will have them done in series style - Yes series style! 64 robots from 16 countries from the European Union have joined us to become the second Bryant Robot Wars European Champion and also the first big International event. Can Firestorm 5 our previous European Champion continue their constant winning streak or can someone else show them how it should be done? Only one way to find out!

Format
64 robots from 16 European Countries will be split into 8 heats of 8. The 8 robots will be split into 4 x 1 v 1 battles where the winners will advance onto the Second Round and they will fight it out in a Mini-League and get 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 battle in their Heat Final for a place in the Second European Championship Finals where 8 robots will go through. After the Heats, the 8 Heat Finalists who finished 2nd in their respected heats will be split into 2 x 4-way Loser's Melees and two will qualify from each battle giving an extra 4 to go through to the Finals to make up 12 robots. The 12 robots will be split into 6 x 1v1 battles and and will battle for a place in the Quarter-Finals. After the 6 Round 1 winners go through, the 6 loser's will be split into 2 x 3-way loser's melees where one will go through from each of them and the join the other Finalists making up 8. The 8 Quarter-Finalists will fight in 4 x 1v1 battles for a place in the Semi-Finals and the 4 winners will be split into 2 x 1v1 Semi-Final battles, the winners will go through to the Grand-Final and battle for the right to become the Second Bryant Robot Wars European Champion.
