At Burgess Hill we had 10 robots so I made two leagues with each robot fighting all other in its league.
Then whichever robots had won the most games in the shortest times went through to the semis, and then onto a final.
This method isn;t as sophisticated as double elimination, but I think it works better when roboteers aren't always available, becase you can fight any of the 20 league matches without having to rely on the results of a previous match. it's a lot less stressful to the organiser and still gives people a fair number of games.

That sounds great Simon.
Do I need to bring my arena or is one already allocated.

What are the times i.e start, finish.
You see I've been planning to go to this but I've overlooked the fact that I may be up till 4.30 that morning at a concert. If it starts at 9 for instance it would be difficult not to get there in a state of total exhaustion. It it started at 2 for instance it would be easier. :)

Before you criticize another person, first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when you critisize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

No, actually don't answer that. I've just found something else to do on Sunday. Sorry, can't make it.

If its alright can you bring yours ?

My old one is really falling apart and I'd rather not have to patch it up again for this one, I want to wait until I get the new one made.

We had quite a busy day and a lot of interest at least two prospective young roboteers that I spoke to. Thanks to Simon for doing most of the organisation and congratulations to Razor Dave for winning. We had one new roboteer whose name escapes me (It's my age) who had his first robot there Stack Error a very creditable first build. He has some very interesting ideas on the type of robot he eventually wants to build so I shall look forward to seeing what he comes up with in the future.
