  2. Initially select the'Create an account' option. 
  3. Then create a username/password.
    1. NOTE: the username selected will be your competition 'name' so you can either choose a robot name OR an alias OR use your own name etc.....but whatever you choose will be the name called out repeatedly by the MC on the day ! - Usually people use a 'robot name'.
    2. NOTE: Names that may cause offence will not be allowed. 
  4. Finally, select the (+00:00 Dublin) timezone option.
  5. Once registered​, you can see who you will be competing against as the tournament fills up.
