Forum:Football World Cup

The Robot Wars Football World Cup was a fictional tournament featuring robots representing twelve different countries in a format similar to the FIFA World Cup. The tournament was created by Helloher after being inspired by a comment by Llamaman201 and took place on The Arena forum in 2009.

As an entirely fictional tournament, robots could be taken from any series of Robot Wars, including robots from the international versions of the show and robots that have retired from competition since the show finished.

Format
The tournament featured twenty-four robots representing tewlve different countries, split into four groups of three robots each, competing in a round robin format. Within the group stage, three points were awarded for a win, with one point awarded for a draw and no points awarded for a loss. At the end of the group stage, the top two robots in each group progressed to the knockout stage, which eventually resulted in the grand final to decide the champion.

Group Stage
The twelve nations were grouped into three seedings based on their predicted football ability. The draw for the group stage was made randomly within those seedings, with one robot from each seeding placed into each group. The seedings can be viewed here.
