We are using True Finals, our new bracket platform, to run this event. The bracket will start the day showing placeholders. We will start populating each bracket after that weight class' Boss round is complete, and it will periodically update.
=== Prediction Challenge ===
'''The prediction challenge has been updated for 2023!'''


In addition to showing the bracket, True Finals will let you see which bot is in which cage, and you will be able to see all fights, including qualifiers and grudges.
We are giving prizes to people who correctly predict the top 4 finishers in the 3lb, 12lb, or 30lb brackets! The people who have the 3 highest overall scores across each weight class will get $300, $200, and $100 for 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place respectively. Additionally, people who have the highest overall score within each weight class will get $100 each.


You can see all non-bracket fights in the "Exhibition" page. Despite the name, this is where Qualifier fights will show up.
Your methodology is entirely up to you, whether that's taking a deep dive into the statistics, flipping a coin, or having your bot make your picks for you. Then, sit back and watch the madness unfold as you revel in victory, or witness your bracket get busted before the end of the tournament.


The "Players" page shows a list of bots, plus the placeholders for the day. If a bot is listed as "not participating," that simply means it hasn't made the bracket yet. This will be updated during the Qualifier rounds.
You'll be scored based on how close your predictions are to the actual bot finishes.
