Super Sized July Event Format

We will be running a new format to accommodate the large number of robot registrations for this event.

  • All 12lb and 30lb matches will be completed on July 24th.
  • Any and all 12lb Sportsman matches will be held on the 25th.
  • The 3lb bracket down to the final 16 robots. The final 32 fights will be fought on July 25th starting at Noon EST
  • A wide array of grudge matches, rumbles, and other fights in our large cage on July 25th.
  • Expected finish is 7 p.m. on the 24th and to be done by 5 p.m. on the 25th.
  • For 90%+ of all competitors you will be done fighting on the 24th. The final 16 robots tend to be very competitive. If this is your first event, it's okay to assume it will be a one-day event.
  • Competitors are welcome to come spectate the final events on the 25th for free.

A Post Covid World

We will be following the latest guidance from the state of CT. Currently there are no capacity or distancing restrictions for an event like this. CT currently has one of the highest vaccination rates and lowest COVID rates in the country.

  • For those who are vaccinated, MASKS ARE OPTIONAL. You are welcome to wear a mask, but you don't have to.
  • For those not vaccinated you should wear a mask per the CDC. If possible, get vaccinated. It's just a good idea in general.
