Forum:Robot Wars Combat World Cup

The Robot Wars Combat World Cup was a fictional tournament featuring robots representing sixteen different countries in a format similar to the FIFA World Cup. The tournament was created by Christophee 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 sixteen robots representing sixteen different countries, split into four groups of four robots each, competing in a round robin format. Within the group stage, three points were awarded for a win, with one point awarded for losing on a judges' decision and no points awarded for losing by knockout. 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 sixteen robots were grouped into four seedings based on their previous performances across the different versions of Robot Wars. 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 at Forum:World Cup Groups.
