Kane you are good

If we are qualifying on the friday when will we find out if we have made it through? I know I am being very optimistic here given it's my first event but as my dad is saying plan for the worst I thought I would ask.

(Note he means worst as he cant watch the F1 live )

You'll find out for definite after the Saturday qualifiers

But you can get a good idea before that. Generally, ten and above you will get through, seven and below you most probably will not. I'd say around eight and nine is the grey area, going on last years scores.

If you've not won 2 qualifiers by yourself - you're not through.

Sounds harsh but that's generally what happens. Harder than it sounds.

Does only 1 bot go through in the qualifiers or 2?

[robotwars]

all 3 beauty's go through LOL

[beast]

You do know the qualifiers are a league system right?
10 highest scoring bots from the league go through.
You could win 1 of your qualifiers & come second in the other 2 and still not progress.
Qualifying round - impossible to lose but improbable to win.

[Eventorizon]

So to have the best chance you would need to win all 3 fights utterly, 6 KO's (2 in each fight) But we all know that anything can happen :wink: All is fair in love and robochallenge! (I think that is the saying anyway)

2011:
Drumroll v NST - didn't win = 2 points
Drumroll v Cyberon v Stagefright - lost = 1 point
Drumroll v Heatwave v Asgard - 2nd = 2 points

Total: 5 points

2012:
Carcinus v Satanix v Beauty 3
Carcinus v Chuck
Carcinus v 4 4 Toon

If Carcinus loses to all its opponents, it'll still finish on the same number of points for doing sweet FA as Drumroll did last year. I love the occasional craziness of the league

That aside, I think it's one of the best qualifying setups for a championship event. Even if you fail to progress, you still get a minimum of three battles and umpteen whiteboards, which makes the trip much more worthwhile.
