#### BYOB Flipper vs Blacksmith

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and the flipper getting in a flip attempt. Blacksmith fired the hammer trying to hit the flipper, but the flipper was too quick for Blacksmith. The flipper then flipped Blacksmith, but Blacksmith then self righted. Eventually the flipper pinned Blacksmith in a way that made it hard to self right. Blacksmith kept firing its hammer while it was being counted out and managed to escape and survive until the judges decision where the flipper won.

#### Beta vs BYOB Axe

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and the axe wailing on Beta. While the axe was wailing on Beta, Beta was more tactical, not firing the hammer until it was certain that it would hit a panel. This kept going for the entire match which went to a judges decision where the Axe won.

### Round 2

#### BYOB Flipper vs BYOB Axe (1)

The fight started with the flipper getting in a flip attempt but it didn't succeed because the axe had it's anti flip panels on at the time. However, the axe landing caused the panel of the side the flipper was targeting to fall off. The flipper then got in another flip attempt, but barely missed. The axe and the flipper then got stuck together after the third flip attempt. After the unstick, the flipper flipped the axe which then self righted which was something it's season 1 version could not do. The axe then lost its other panel, but it didn't matter because the flipper had already lost both of theirs. The rest of the fight was the flipper trying to flip the axe out of the arena and the axe self righting. The fight went to a judges decision where the axe won due to damage and aggression.

#### Blacksmith vs Beta

When the fight started, Blacksmith came out swinging and took off Beta's front panel. Blacksmith then quickly took off one of Beta's side panels. The rest of the fight consisted of Blacksmith hammering away at Beta and Beta trying to defend itself. The fight went to a judges decision where Blacksmith won a unanimous decision.

### Round 3

#### BYOB Flipper vs Beta

The fight started with the flipper charging at Beta and missing. Beta capitalized and started whacking it with the hammer. The flipper then got under the front of Beta and tried to flip it, but failed. Then Beta and the flipper both lost pieces trying to come in for an attack. The flipper then pinned Beta against the corner and flipped it out of the arena.

#### Blacksmith vs BYOB Axe

The fight started with both bots charging at each other and hammering away. On Blacksmith's second swing, both hammers hooked together for a second before Blacksmith retracted its hammer which caused the axe to lose a panel. Blacksmith then hooked the axe again, almost flipping it, which caused the axe to lose its other panel. The rest of the fight was both robots hammering each other. The fight went to a judges decision where Blacksmith won due to damage since aggression and control were both split.

### Tiebreaker

#### BYOB Flipper vs BYOB Axe (2)

(A/N: Looking back I realize that Blacksmith should've been in this fight because he was also at 2-1 with the flipper and axe. I am very stupid.)

This fight happened because the flipper and axe were tied for wins at 2-1 each. The fight started with the flipper charging at the axe and pinning it to a wall. It almost did the same trick it did with Beta, but the axe escaped. Twice. The flipper lost both its panels before the axe did. The rest of the fight was the flipper flipping the axe and the axe hammering down on the flipper. The fight went to a judges decision where the axe won on damage since aggresion was split, control went to the flipper, and damage is weighted, making the BYOB Axe the champion of the Hexbug Hell sportsman tourney.
