Dear SSL-Community,
With the RoboCup being less than two weeks away, we have some final updates
for you.
Rules quiz
In our previous emails we have informed you about the referee quiz. This
quiz is designed to improve the notoriously poor quality of many of our
referees. Each team needs to be able to perform the impartial roles
(referee, assistant, game controller operator and vision experts) for
matches where they are not playing themselves. Finishing the rules quiz
correctly will be necessary for that, and only people who finish the quiz
are allowed to perform the impartial roles. Please fill in the quiz before
the start of the competition.
The quiz additionally contains some open questions. Please try to explain
as best as possible how you would handle the described situation. It is to
give us an indication of how teams would act. The OC will provide the
preferred course of action on the first day of the competition.
The quiz can be found here <https://forms.gle/2LFrJGyZNqPbBfsr8>. A useful
help would be the rule book
<https://robocup-ssl.github.io/ssl-rules/sslrules.pdf>.
Group drawings
For Division B, we will be drawing all teams into two groups. The 7 teams
that are qualified will be drawn into one group of size 4, and one group of
size 3. We have assigned all teams into two sets: our four veteran teams
(RoboCIN, RoboFEI, UBC Thunderbots and RoboIME) make up the upper set, and
our three new teams (ITAndroids, Luhbots Soccer and Ri-one) make up the
lower set.
Considering there are 4 Brazilian teams, and one team from Canada, Germany
and Japan each, we will not be using country-specific drawing rules. We’ve
updated the ssl-grouping tool today to reflect these sets.
We will be running the grouping tool with the two random seeds from
https://www.random.org/integers/?mode=advanced, with the following settings:
2 Integers between 0 and 1000 with the pre-generated randomization for 1st
of July. All of you can do so yourself, but we’ll publish the groups as
soon as I have the seeds.
Good luck with the final preparations, and see you in Bangkok!
Kind regards,
Selina Zwerver

* Final Call for Research Showcases*
The 25th RoboCup International Symposium
https://2022.robocup.org/
Submission of abstracts: 20 June 2022
Notification to authors: 24 June 2022
RoboCup Symposium: 17 July 2022 (RoboCup 2022: 11-17 July 2022)
===========================================================
The RoboCup symposium is an annual event in which innovative, original
research with relevance to areas of robotics and artificial intelligence
is presented. This year, we are inviting the submission of poster
proposals to facilitate scientific discussions about ongoing projects
and late-breaking results during the RoboCup 2022 Symposium. This call
is specifically for poster presentations to showcase teams’ ongoing work
and/or the latest results relevant to the RoboCup community. The
Symposium Program Co-Chairs would like to promote exciting conversations
during the coffee break over posters, discussing scientific results,
finding other research groups with similar interests, and strengthening
connections between different teams as well as RoboCup leagues.
Any team, research group, or individual is welcome to propose a poster
presentation with the content relevant to the RoboCup community. To
ensure this and to group posters into the poster sessions, we ask
everyone interested in such poster presentations to submit a proposal
with the title and short abstract of max 250 words by June 20th (using
the Research Showcase Track).
