Season

The Battle Begins: Qualifiers Part 1

Air date: 2015-06-21

During the first night of the six-episode tournament, 8 teams will converge in an arena of minefield and hazards for the ultimate shot at glory during the Qualifiers round. Each match will consist of a single three– minute bout in which the goal is to completely destroy or disable the opponent. If there is no knockout during the three-minute battle, the panel of judges will declare a victor to move onto the next round. Competitors range from NASA engineers, to teenage students, to everyone in between — each with one goal — to claim the ultimate title and walk away with the grand cash prize.

In addition to the 8 battles, four wild card teams will be selected to round out the championship round of 16.

If there is no knockout during the three-minute battle, the panel of judges will declare a victor to move onto the next round.
