Forum:Audited Series 4 - Discussion

This is the discussion page for Audited Series 4. The tournament will start when we have decided what to do with judges, seeds and entry changes. The tournament will be held with the same rules as Series 4 did, so 32 seeds and 16 heats of 6 robots. The Pinball and Sumo Basho tournaments will also feature alongside the heat finals, alternating between episodes. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:39, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Seeds
We are having 32 seeds for the series. Take into account finishing position in Series 3 and the 1st World Championship. Obviously the producers wanted to talk it up, and didn't realise it wasn't quite as illustrious to win as the UK championship as time went on, but take it into account and bump up those who did well in it. Razer and Behemoth will both be in the top 10 seedings whether they are voted in or not, so please make life easier for me and place them in the top 10. Please write your top 32 seeds in order. I will then rank them all by number and arrange the robots into the seeds that they all end up representing (It's complicated but logical, don't worry).

To Be Replaced
Vote here for any robots who did compete in Series 4 to be booted out. You can vote for any number to be removed from 0-64 (none of the 32 robots awarded a seed in the actual series can be booted out), and a reasonable number will end up being removed. Please justify why you want that robot removed though. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:39, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Replacements
Vote here for robots which didn't qualify for Series 4 which you'd like to replace those kicked out. Again, vote for as many or little as you like, and I'll make a decision on how many replacements are needed when the voting closes. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 23:39, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

 * I have gone for mainly the bots in order at the top. Razer in at 4 and Behemoth in at 8 is fair enough. Mortis, Weld-Dor and Killerhurtz get World Championship nods, while Chromy and Plundy take the last 2 spots. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 00:08, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Seeds
Can it please be a case of 1 vs 32, 2 vs 31 etc, not the terrible 1 vs 17, 16 vs 32 format of the real Series 4?

I toyed with the thought of seeding Series 2 Heat Finalists and Series 3 Second-Rounders Small Torque and Onslaught, the former being a World Championship competitor, but ultimately Killerhurtz is a powerful machine and BattleBot, while Sir Chromalot need their TV emphasis that would overshadow whoever the real seed was anyway.
