Number of fights per year??
Number of robots in the fight .. 3 way or 2 way????
What happens if robots don€™t turn up, do they get awarded the win, or not????
I personally didn't have a problem with the format this year apart from to many events in the North.

The format this year allowed you to drop 1 set of points allowing for not turning up or having a mare, and like you said it is the UK Champs so where is the problem in putting in a bit of effort to attend, if you want to be the top dog.

3 way fights in preference to 2 way. In a 1 day event there wouldn't be enough time to fit all of the fights in if it was 1v1.

If the robots you have drawn fail to turn up, you should still get the points for that event.Why should you be penalised for somebody else not turning up.To get over this one, a possibility would be to charge an entry fee to the Champs ( refundable after a set number of events say possibly 4 events ) to stop all of the no shows like this year.

How about running a proper Annihilator at the later events?
