==Prizes== |
|||
The overall prize pool has increased but we have looked to try to make it a more fair and equitable distribution with regards to the costs associated with competing in each weight class. |
|||
So for the first time we are now awarding prizes for 3rd and 4th place in the 12 & 30lb class, as well as an increase to the 2nd place prize for both 12 & 30lb class |
|||
We have added an additional $4k to the prize fund and the 3lb prize fund has been slightly lowered to allow us to fund this. |
|||
'''3LB''' |
|||
* First place: $8,000 |
|||
* Second place: $3,000 |
|||
'''12LB''' |
|||
* First place: $12,000 |
|||
* Second place: $5,000 |
|||
* Third place (for each of two competitors): $1,000 |
|||
'''30LB''' |
|||
* First place: $15,000 |
|||
* Second place: $6,000 |
|||
* Third place (for each of two competitors): $1,500 |
|||
Note that for 12lb and 30lb, the prizes for third place will be equal for both competitors who lost the semi-final fight. There will be no 3rd place fight. |
|||
This year, we’ve made the decision not to run our STEM Grants & Giving program alongside the World Championships. As we shared in our fall AMA, the past couple of seasons have taught us a lot - not only about the logistical challenges of giving to dozens of organizations but also about which approaches truly drive meaningful growth for the sport. We still have money left over from last year’s grants that have not been donated yet. By taking a step back to strategically rethink our giving initiatives, we can ensure that any future grants maximize their impact, helping us support the future of robot fighting in a more effective and sustainable way. |

The championships for the NHRL 2024 season will be held on December 7th. This is going to be the final event in our 2023 season and consists entirely of invite-only brackets.
Hotels
We will have multiple hotel options for this event. Right now, we have the Norwalk Inn available. You will need to call them directly at (203) 838-2000 or toll free at (800)-303-0808. Use the group code "2412NHR" and refer to the block "NHRL December Worlds Finals". Book by November 5, 2024.
You can also book a room at the Hilton Garden Inn. If you're calling, the block code is NHDE. Please book by November 6.
Prizes
The overall prize pool has increased but we have looked to try to make it a more fair and equitable distribution with regards to the costs associated with competing in each weight class.
So for the first time we are now awarding prizes for 3rd and 4th place in the 12 & 30lb class, as well as an increase to the 2nd place prize for both 12 & 30lb class
We have added an additional $4k to the prize fund and the 3lb prize fund has been slightly lowered to allow us to fund this.
3LB
- First place: $8,000
- Second place: $3,000
12LB
- First place: $12,000
- Second place: $5,000
- Third place (for each of two competitors): $1,000
30LB
- First place: $15,000
- Second place: $6,000
- Third place (for each of two competitors): $1,500
Note that for 12lb and 30lb, the prizes for third place will be equal for both competitors who lost the semi-final fight. There will be no 3rd place fight.
This year, we’ve made the decision not to run our STEM Grants & Giving program alongside the World Championships. As we shared in our fall AMA, the past couple of seasons have taught us a lot - not only about the logistical challenges of giving to dozens of organizations but also about which approaches truly drive meaningful growth for the sport. We still have money left over from last year’s grants that have not been donated yet. By taking a step back to strategically rethink our giving initiatives, we can ensure that any future grants maximize their impact, helping us support the future of robot fighting in a more effective and sustainable way.
Qualified Robots
The following robots qualified for the championships in 2024. Qualifying means finishing in the final 4 for your weight class of all bots that have not already qualified in any of our regular season events.
If a bot that has already qualified finishes in the top 4 of its weight class, then we will invite the bot with the highest ranking going into the event that lost its quarterfinal fight.
Any bots who are not coming will be noted like this.
