Post by: ianh05 on July 16, 2010, 02:45:35 AM
hey guys i thought it would be a great idea to give people a place to hang out when I'm online so i decided to setup a live RA2 stream on ustream so we can chat and i can stream live matches and Events.

that's what I'm trying to fix, spent a few hours on it already >.< i don't like to quit when i know something will work.. i'm probably just doing something wrong :P

I really want it working because it would save me a lot of time hosting tournaments, saves me editing and uploading videos.

here's the reason i want to get the stream up in high quality... A live Robot Arena 2 League complete with title holders and relegation's.

Robot arena 2 Live league Rules and setup:

- Stock only.
- No AAM, all building must be done in the Bot lab.
- No Custom parts, you are only allowed to use stock parts that come with the game and hidden AI parts.
- You may only enter one weight class at a time.
- AW, BW, LW, MW and HW divisions will have 6 Active robots each.
- The lowest ranked bot in each division will be eliminated every week.
- If there are 2 or more bots equal bottom there will be a match to decide who gets eliminated.
- At the end of every week there will be a Draw to decide the next entry into each division.
- The weekly draw will consist of up to 5 Robots for each class.
- The first 5 people to send me a picture of their entry will be the 5 in the draw.
- The winner of the draw will send me their entry, complete with bindings.
- Each division will have a title holder and a #1 contender.
- Each match will only be 1 round unless it's for a title or otherwise stated.
- Title matches will be 3 rounds unless otherwise stated.

Host rights:
- As host I have the right to choose special stipulations including arena used and match type.
- As host I have the right to let the current title holder choose the title match stipulation.

These are a rough set of rules that could be used. All streams would also be recorded if you couldn't view it live.
