It's called single-elimination. It's pretty cruel for an event like
ours, where people's robots often malfunction or just get unlucky -- do
that once, and you're out.
You can consider round-robin in several groups, then the top bots
compete it out:
Imagine you have 16 robots: If we do the all vs. all thing, we get
something like 120 matches.
But you split them into 4 leagues of 4, and have everyone play everyone
within a league: 6 matches per league, or 24 total.
Then you take the best 2 per league. Now you've got 8 robots left, and
can play eveyone off in 28 matches. Total of 52 matches, or about
4-5hours.
OR, you could take the best 1 per league, have 4 left, and play off in 6
matches. Total of 30 matches.
OR, you could do double-elimination -- everyone competes tree-style, but
it takes two losses to knock you out.
