It’s robot fighting betting time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loser buys Winner his favorite snack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 32 teams in the single-elimination tournament, all ranked based on prior performance in the group stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


RULES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each day of competition, pick the winners of each battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your bot wins, you score points!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Points Scored = (contestant rank difference) \/ 4 rounded to nearest integer – so root for the underdogs when it makes sense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLOT TWIST! If we pick the same robot to win a battle…
… if the robot loses, the point leader after the round cannot pick the winner to win in the next round.
…if the robot wins, the point leader after the round MUST pick that bot to win in the next round.
…if the point leader has conflicting rules in a battle, the rules are all invalidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
