2023 brought a massive change: our new tournament format! This gives us a shorter overall event time while still allowing our registration to remain uncapped and ensuring a fun tournament to watch.

We made a tweak to our tournament format from January, updating our Preliminary round into a 2-round Qualifier, in which bots that go 0-2 can be eliminated. We also, once again, had a record number of bots attending overall and in all weight classes, blowing away all previous records!

We unveiled a new tournament format for our 2023 World Championships: a 3-round qualifier. Bots must win 2 out of 3 fights in the qualifying rounds to advance to the single-elimination bracket.

We closed 2023 with something different: our first-ever NHRL All-Stars event. Unlike our other events, this was an event spread out over 3 nights, using a World Cup-style group stage format.

It also featured guest appearances from some well-known names from YouTube, giving us some memorable exhibition fights.
