(I’m assuming Cobalt beats Lucky for convenience sake. Seeding a 4-0 Lucky, without knowing how on earth they beat Cobalt, would be really hard!)

(Also I guess I’m assuming Deathroll beats Monsoon. If Monsoon wins they make it but not as high…I dunno. After 16 or so it gets pretty murky)

1:

Minotaur 4-0 (if Minotaur wins)

Riptide 4-0 (if Minotaur loses)

2:

Riptide 4-0 (if Minotaur wins)

Witch Doctor 4-0 (if Witch Doctor wins/Minotaur loses)

3:

Quantum 4-0

4:

Huge 4-0

// That covers the four 4-0 robots, I’d be surprised if they aren’t the top four. They deserve it! Maybe Huge should be over Quantum, I dunno.

// The next stretch is a little dicey, I think if Minotaur loses they’re 6, but if Witch Doctor loses they fall all the way to 8. Hopefully you can follow this to some extent

5:

End Game 3-1

(6:

Minotaur 3-1 (if Minotaur loses)

)

6/7:

Hydra 3-1

7/8:

Sawblaze 3-1

(8:

Witch Doctor 3-1 (if Minotaur wins)

)

// Alright, that makes the top eight consist of The Big Five, who have been highly rated all year, and then the three undefeateds. Seems right to me!

9:

Ripperoni 3-1

10:

Copperhead 3-1

11:

Claw Viper 3-1

12:

Blip 2-2

13:

Tantrum 2-2

14:

Lock-Jaw 3-1

15:

Beta 3-1

16:

Hypershock 2-2

// There’s a demarcation line around here for true contenders versus pretenders, we’ll draw it at 16 and Hypershock. Beta is probably not a legit threat, everyone else seems like they have a shot! Even Claw Vipe! After this is gets soft quickly, the next eight all clearly have flaws, or have just been losing too much lately to still believe in (Black Dragon, Bloodsport, Rotator)

17:

Deathroll 3-1

18:

Lucky 3-1

19:

Malice 3-1

20:

Black Dragon 2-2

21:

Bloodsport 2-2

22:

Rotator 2-2

23:

Skorpios 2-2

24:

Jackpot 2-2

// to me this is the cutoff between the good robots and the slop. The last eight are four good robots with bad records, and four bad robots with 500 records. Order them however you like, I dunno

25:

Ribbot 1-3

26:

Whiplash 1-3

27:

Fusion 1-3

28:

Monsoon 1-3

29:

Hijinx 2-2

30:

Valkyrie 2-2

31:

Triton 2-2

32:

Shreddit Bro 2-2

We’ll see how I do!
