	== Double-Unstick ==
	<span style="color:#990099">A Double-Unstick occurs when both robots are interfering, stuck on or impeded by each other in such a way that neither can demonstrate controlled motion. Double unsticks function similarly to standard unsticks, however a double-unstick counts for both robots' unstick attempt. A double unstick may be performed as long as one of the two robots still has an unstick attempt available to them.

			== Judges' decisions==

			<span style="color:#990099">If a fight goes the full 3 minutes, or if the referee stops the fight early for any reason, the fight goes to the judges.</span>

			<span style="color:#990099">Judges score using the [[Judging Criteria\|criteria]] Aggression (5 points), Control (6 points), and Damage (6 points). The bot that gets the most total points from a single judge gets that judge’s vote. The bot with the most judges’ votes wins.</span>

			<span style="color:#990099">We will almost always have a panel of 3 judges deciding fights. However, there may be times when we would be forced to use a single judge to decide a fight.</span>

			<span style="color:#990099">Judges’ decisions at NHRL are final and cannot be appealed. Judges’ names are not released with their scores. </span>

			<span style="color:#990099">During an event, competitors are not allowed to ask who judged a fight, nor are they allowed to talk to the judges, nor are they allowed to ask for an explanation of why the judges voted the way they did. Any competitor who confronts an NHRL staff member about their judges’ decision risks a demerit.</span>

			<span style="color:#990099">After an event, competitors may request more information about a particular judges’ decision. Information regarding this will be posted on this wiki soon.</span>
