Well guys, I've been talking about it enough, but I'm finally ready to announce my inaugural RA2 World Cup! 32 robots, representing nations around the world, will take part in what I hope will be one of the premier tournaments in the community! The rules for this tournament are below.

Rules for Entry:

32 robots will be accepted, 1 per person.
Entries are not first come, first serve
In order to have a complete entry, you must send your robot, country of choice, and AI
Your country can be any officially-recognized FIFA nation, including sub-national entities like Scotland or Hong Kong
It is preferred that members from the USA/UK don%u2019t take the home countries of other members, such as the Czech Republic, Philippines, or Colombia. If you have heritage from a country, it%u2019d be preferred you represent that one, but it%u2019s obviously not required.
Blatantly offensive entries will be denied regardless of whether they follow the rules laid out in the Building Rules. As a rule of thumb, just don%u2019t enter stuff like Mecha Hitler or put %u201C**** Palestine%u201D on your bot. Seriously, it%u2019s not hard.

Building Rules:

IRL ruleset, Heavyweight class
Active weapon rule
The only CB2 component allowed is the Overkill motor. Flatmotors are entirely banned

Weapon limits:
- VS and HS are limited to 2 large teeth, 4 small teeth, 6 large beaters, or 8 medium/small beaters
- Wedgeless drums are allowed 8 large/medium beaters or 12 small beaters. Again, flatmotors are banned, even on wedgeless drums.
- Mechavore discs are allowed. Minion/Dreadnought discs, as well as Ant Blades, are banned
- Front/Rear hinges are allowed up to 1 Beta Burst/Motor or 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst/Mag Snappers
- Top Hinges are not allowed to use pneumatic motors (VDMA or Storm bursts). Top hinges are defined as any robot with a flipper more shallow than its wedge. They are allowed up to 2 mag snappers
- Pneumatic motors and Beta motors have a max burst angle of 90 degrees. Mag snappers have a burst angle limit of 180 degrees.

Axle wedges are banned
Eternalflame and meltybrain are banned
Clusters and configbots are banned to make recording easier on me
Belted motors must either be mounted on an extender or reasonably supported by their chassis for realism purposes (EDIT: The axle must be supported by the chassis itself in order to mount the motor to the chassis).

Tournament Format

Robogames Arena, 3 minute fights
- If a robot touches the floor of an OOTA zone, it is eliminated
- Judging will be carried out by a 3 person committee, Classic Battlebots criteria
- Fight-affecting havoks before the 2:00 mark will cause a restart without penalty. After the 2:00 mark, a havok will trigger a JD.

The format will be similar to the FIFA World Cup
- 32 robots, 8 groups of 4
- Each group will participate in a round-robin round
- 3 points for a win, 1 point for a JD loss, 0 points for a KO loss
- The two bots with the most points in each group will move on to the single-elimination round to determine the champion

I will be entering Phantom V as a representative of Portugal.

If I do not receive 32 legal entries by this time, I will decide whether to extend the deadline or just have byes. Again, this is not first-come, first-serve, so don't worry about needing to enter on June 2nd to actually get in.

It is almost time for for the tournament to begin! In the meantime, I have created the splash and drawn the groups, all below:

14 bots have been received! Also, I have clarified the rule about the mounting of belted motors (Perms and belted TMW3Rs) after realizing the initial wording was very vague.

Signups have been extended to June 26th because I have been busier than expected as of late.

I have now received 19 entries! Remember, Sign-ups close on June 26th, at 6:00PM Central Daylight Time (UTC -5). That is just under 4 days from when this is posted. Good luck!

Forgot to post here, but entries are closed and all the bots have been checked. Unfortunately, due to a lack of entries, there re now only 7 groups. The two 3rd place bots with the most points will be awarded the final two bracket spots.
