Terminal: Signups CLOSED
« on: June 19, 2018, 12:02:12 AM »
Well, let's try this for a fourth run (hopefully this time with a lot fewer screw-ups).


Sooo,


Meta: Stock-Unrealistic LW
RA2CF: Banned
HAX mode: Banned
SnS, Multibots: Banned
BFE, AAM, other external modification: Banned
cheatbot2: Banned except flamethrower
Fight length: 3 min
Arena: RA Reborn Arena (skinned)
Entry slots: 6
One major modification (defined as an upgrade where I have to change the AI line of the bot) is allowed, with unlimited minor modifications, no modifications allowed after SBV goes up. I also reserve the right to reject a bot if I feel it is trying to exploit loopholes/an sftw.
I personally will not enter due to the small slot count.




And here's how the fights will work: the tourney will be run in 5 rounds, in which each entrant will fight every other entrant. At the end of the round, the competitor with the fewest wins will be eliminated. At the end, the last man standing wins. One havok restart per bot per match.


Signup Slots (Red - Error, Blue - Accepted, Green - AIed)

I don't see much of a problem with the current rules so far. But, I'm pretty interested in entering something into this.

Six entrants is really light for a tournament, honestly. I get that it's a lot of round robin stuff but eh.

Yeah, I want to make sure I can manage everything. I guess if signups get full in like a day I'll bump it up a bit, but we'll see.

So, any interest? Suggestions? Questions?
We have ourselves a sign-ups topic here.
No rule changing as of now.
I have several opinions.

Most excellent. I'll probably wait for signups to fill on this one instead of putting on a deadline.
