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

<br>
<br>
Qualification<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
Qualification is based on a team's current performance, previous
achievements in RoboCup,<br>
and scientific contributions to the RoboCup community in past years,
cooperation in <br>
the 3D mailing list and development of the simulator.<br>
<br>
In RoboCup 2011, up to 28 teams will participate in the 3D
competitions. The top three teams <br>
from RoboCup 2010 (Apollo3D, Nao Team Humboldt and HfutEngine) are
automatically qualified <br>
after pre-registering their teams and submitting an appropriate Team
Description Paper (TDP).<br>
The other 25 teams will be selected through a qualification process.<br>
<br>
The qualification deadline and rules are not finalized yet. The OC
does not accept qualification<br>
materials from teams who have not been pre-registered by the
pre-registration deadline. The<br>
qualification deadline and its rules will be announced soon.
However, the rules will not be<br>
very different from the rules of 2010 competitions.<br>
<br>
Good luck<br>
