The columns of numbers just below the team names indicates the ranking of this specific team in the various debates.

More data on rankings will not be provided until after tonight’s break anouncement which is when the Achte Minute editorial team will be celebrating New Year’s Eve. But still, we will be twittering all news from Bots! All of today’s prelims are closed rounds. Hence, no information about the debates is going to leak from the judge panels.
