Help me catch up (again...)

Iâ€™ve been trying to catch up on everything and have gotten a little confused with all the different groups and tournaments.

I get that the various groups have held their own events and tournaments but which, if any, is considered the main UK championship?

I kind of assumed Roaming Robots were still holding the UK champs (possibly under the Robot Wars brand now that they have merged), but I saw that there was also an FRA UK championship hosted by Robots Live. Has this taken over from the Roaming Robots tournaments, with the Roaming Robots/ Robot Wars shows as separate events? Or are there now two UK championships; one by FRA/ Robots Live and one by Roaming Robots/ Robot Wars?

I made a similar post to this back in 2011, but life kind of exploded a bit and I completely forgot about it until now. Many apologies and thanks to psychostorm for answering that one!

the UK Heavyweight Championships are held by Robots Live, Robot Wars/Roaming robots used to have its own championship and winter tour but that has stopped and the RW/RR shows are just entertainment pieces now.
RL host competitions at their events but do less shows per year than RW/RR

The UK/World featherweight championships are held by RoboChallenge.

hope that helps (?)

That's changing back for 2015.

Yeah, that does help, thanks!

@ MicroGravity100
So if RW/RR is going to do their own tournaments again, does that mean there could be two UK champs? Or will it just be the FRA picked event that takes that role?
