Forum:Series 7 League - Basepage

"Controversy creates cash. That was a catchphrase established by Eric Bischoff during his time as President of World Championship Wrestling. It is also the phrase that I use to refer to this tournament, as it would not have existed without scandal! You see, Series 3 had its fair share of controversy behind-the-scenes, which has only started to surface again. During discussion on what would have improved the format of the show, George Francis stated that he and many other roboteers were interested in a league format, which would have given robots several chances to prove themselves. Around twenty years later, it gave CrashBash an idea; instead of having eight robots compete in opening melees or one-on-one action, why not split them into two groups of four, and have the four robots in each compete against each other in separate leagues? Whoever was the highest scorer in each would compete in the heat final, to gain a place in the Semi-Final groups, and so forth. Well, if we combine this format idea with Series 7, a series with its own share of controversies, we may have a classic tournament on our hands! 128 robots, split into 16 heats and 32 groups. Who will become champion, by topping their heat, Semi-Final and Grand Final groups? To find out, we must LET THE WARS BEGIN"

Series 7 League is a tournament consisting of all 128 Series 7 machines competing under a league format. They are split into 16 heats and 32 groups of four, where every robot will compete in at least three battles. A certain number of points is given to a robot, based on whether it lost by KO (0 points), lost by judges' decision (1 point), won via judges' decision (2 points), or won via KO (3 points).

Whoever tops their group after three battles will go on to progress to the heat final. The sixteen heat winners are then split into four Semi-Final groups of four. The winners of each group will then battle each other in a Grand Final group to determine the Series 7 League champion.
