CENTAURI - Online Tournament | SIGNUPS
« on: July 15, 2018, 04:11:32 PM »
centaurilogo400px alpha.png

Here we go. First Parsec tournament.

FORMAT:
8 entries.
1v1, Bo3, double elimination. 3 min.
The Trov action cam will be used.
Major havoks will have the match restarted as necessary.
Octagon arena. One of the benefits of human driving is that we aren't stupid and can dodge and use hazards. Use this to your advantage in both designing your bot and driving it. Hazard lethality has been increased to ironforge standards, the hammer is now able to kill most MWs in a hit or two.
North American entrants only. Sorry to the others. Let's keep the lag to a minimum, at least for now.

BUILDING RULES:
Ironforge MW
DSL-S ruleset, to make it competitive
No external programs allowed (BFE, RA2CF, Ro7B) except for skinning
Entries must show a high degree of controlled movement.
Be creative. Not a rule per se but this is the first online tourney since like 2004! Try to make something to be remembered. Preferably something that is difficult to AI. Build something crazy that works. Go nuts!
No joke entries. This tournament is a showcase to push the envelope of what new designs work in RA2. I’m not going to waste a slot on a bot that isn’t designed to compete well.
I reserve the right to deny any entry for any reason.

Build well. Skin well. Drive well. Let’s make this a tournament to be well remembered, because a lot may ride on it. Online tournaments have the potential to extend the life of RA2, let’s try our best to make this one work.
Make a good and cool bot.


SIGNUPS (close 8/10):
APPROVED
1. 8Bean - Pit Viper
2. Lightning S. - Vipress
3. Freeziez - Burning Up
4. Thrackerzod - Paralytic Dream
5. [cringey name goes here] - Ferromite [mystic2000]
6. Badnik96 - militant sea cucumbers 2
7. Clickbeetle - Falling Star 2
8.

BACKUPS/CURRENTLY UNAPPROVED
...

I would love love loveeee to enter but I’ll sit this one out. My latency may be an unfair advantage, and it’s already gonna be hard enough to organize AND host this thing.
but one of you better host one of these after me so i can enter im serious

For me to accept your entry, you need to send me a PM with ALL of the following files/information:
TWO IDENTICAL copies of your bot (two with differing keyboard controls, or alternatively, one keyboard and one gamepad). The inputs can be whatever you want as long as you pick only ONE color from this diagram for each copy:
This is so two people can potentially play on the same keyboard layout. Learn how to drive well with both, as you will likely be required to.
Do you have access to a gamepad? I technically won’t bar you from entry you if you don’t but would help out TREMENDOUSLY if you do. It simplifies the parsec experience if one player uses a keyboard and one uses a controller, and that way there is no risk of control sabotage by one player to another. I will need to test your controller to make sure it works, we've had some compatibility issues with some of them. Be prepared to use keyboard even if you have a gamepad.
Timezone (Pacific, EST, etc)
Times and days available to fight (be generous please). Saturday and Sunday if at all possible. I will try to work with what you got. But remember that you have the potential to fight any entrant, so the more time you have available, the better. Fights under ideal circumstances shouldn’t last more than 10 or 15 minutes, but plan for perhaps up to 45.
Parsec user ID Link to register

I will not accept your entry until ALL of the above has been submitted and the bot is approved.
Note: The builder of the robot doesn’t necessarily have to be the driver. Not everyone is good at both, and that’s ok. If you are planning on driving someone else’s bot, you need to say who built it and I also need a PM from the builder giving their blessing.

Once I check and accept all the bots I’ll make a public google spreadsheet with the timezones for all participating members, and we can set the bracket and fight times from there. I’m fully aware we may need to reschedule some. I’ll give people notifications of their fight times & dates as far in advance as I can.


POTENTIAL QUESTIONS

Feel free to ask questions. Let's do this.

Hopefully we get 4 or more. with 4 we can do a standard bracket, otherwise gonna have to do a round-robin type deal.
