The World Cup of RA2

I'm planning on running a competition where only 1 person per country can enter, in order to represent their country of choice in a world cup of sorts. Spots will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. Entries will be unlimited and only bound by signup time. Natives have priority to their own country (e.g. a German member can kick a non-German member out of the German signup slot).

A country may have bots from multiple builders in different metas. A country may be reserved for one week without a bot being sent, starting 12pm UK time on Saturday 12th August.

Note: If any meta receives less than 8 entrants, it will not be run. Sorry!

I will be running tournaments in the following metas, all in the HW class with 3 minute fights:

General Rules
HW (<800.0 for all except Ironforge, which is <400.0 not counting up to 4 ballasts)
SnS banned
CB2 banned
Fights are 3 min, hazards on
BO1 double elimination
Multibots allowed, distractionbots, drones and swiss army bots are not.
It is strongly recommended that you skin/theme your bot in a way that at least hints at your nation. This is, however, not a requirement
Signups will last 2 weeks, Signups close at 12pm UK time on 26th August
Otherwise, standard ruleset for each meta applies unless otherwise stated below

Signup notation:
Bot sent, not checked
Rejected
Accepted

DSL 2.2 IRL (w/ Balance Patch)

Arena - RW 2016 Arena
All DSC's component packs allowed
Flippers are limited to 2 bursts, and the flipping arm cannot contain sheets or weapons (outside of wedgelets)

I'm looking for feedback, particularly on the CB2 and flipper rules for the IRL meta, as well as giving 2 slots to the UK/US.

So I'm assuming we're just running DSL IRL here.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

That might be what I end up having to do, as I doubt GTM has enough not UKL/USers to fill a tournament like this

Not decided on what I want to do with CB2 yet.


Note: If any meta receives less than 8 entrants, it will not be run. Sorry!
So I'm assuming we're just running DSL IRL here.
Probably, I want to give the other metas a chance though. Would be an awful shame if RA2 declines to only be IRL.

Ra2 isn't choosing anything. If you limit the two biggest talent pools to a fixed number of entries per pool, you'll only get the biggest meta (or biggest two metas). :dumb)

Edit: lalala my name is Dreamcast and I can't read the words "of choice" lalala.

I wasn't sure if this thread was commenting on the US/North Korea situation or if this was another tournament. As my laptop is brokenGermany might not take part in this war. We're deeply sorry. Wish we could have started yet another one

Sad to hear, you couldn't send in something you've already made? Your IRL bots are very nice.

What if: each member makes their own country (w/custom flag).

 Also, instead of tourney format it is setup as time/point challenges. This could be done like a decathalon, wherein your bot will take on 10 different style bots, with best time/ score determining ranking.
