The RoboCup Soccer Simulation 3D Competition provides a great opportunity to
experiment with humanoid robots without the need for investing in 
robot's hardware. It
facilitates experimenting with different learning and optimization 
techniques by providing
a simulated environment.

Information about the registration and qualification process for the 
RoboCup 2012
Soccer Simulation League, 3D competition:

Schedule

Qualification
------------------

Qualification is based on a team's current performance, previous 
achievements in RoboCup,
and scientific contributions to the RoboCup community in past years, 
cooperation in
the 3D mailing list and development of the simulator.

In RoboCup 2012, up to 28 teams will participate in the 3D competitions. 
The top three teams
from RoboCup 2011 (UT Austin Villa, CIT3D and Apollo3D) are 
automatically qualified
after pre-registering their teams and submitting an appropriate Team 
Description Paper (TDP).
The other 25 teams will be selected through a qualification process.

The qualification rules are not finalized yet. The OC does not accept 
qualification materials from
teams who have not been pre-registered by the pre-registration deadline. 
The qualification
rules will be announced soon. However, the rules will not be very 
different from the rules of
2011 competitions.

Good luck
