<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 2012, up to 28 teams will participate in the 3D
competitions. The top three teams <br>
from RoboCup 2011 (UT Austin Villa, CIT3D and Apollo3D) 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 rules are not finalized yet. The OC does not
accept qualification materials from<br>
teams who have not been pre-registered by the pre-registration
deadline. The qualification <br>
rules will be announced soon. However, the rules will not be very
different from the rules of<br>
2011 competitions.<br>
<br>
Good luck<br>
