[Philippa]

BUILDING RULES
Middleweight class robots only. 249.0kg - 399.0kg

No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on. However, I will allow you to edit the height of your robot, as long as it is still IRL.
Must have at least 2 wheels for controlled movement.
Tracked robots are eligible, the weight cushion is - The weight of the tracks do not count towards the weight of the robot.

One Judge Burst per bot.

BATTLE AND FORMAT RULES
Music, artwork, results tables, etc, will be stolen from based upon the 2014 revival series with Sandi Toksvig, but will be edited a little.
1 minute fights. There will be a lot of them.
Fifteen To One Arena (Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena with a lame skin.)
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
The way I run the tournament will depend on how many entries I get. I will need the entries to be a minimum of 75 and then progress up in blocks of 15. (75, 90, 105, 120, etc.)
Robots will be split up into the appropriate number of heats consisting of 15 robots in each.

Round One
 - Each competing robot is given a number from 1 to 15.
 - Each competing robot will start with 3 lives.
 - Each robot will face a robot made by me, they will face the same robot.
 - If they lose to my robot, then they lose a life. Win and they keep their lives.
 - Repeat this two times, meaning each robot will be guaranteed two fights.
 - If a robot loses both of it's two fights then it is eliminated from the tournament.
 - Robots which lost one or none of their fights go on to Round Two.

Round Two
 - The surviving robot with the lowest number will then choose (nominate in Fifteen To One terms) another robot to fight against.
 - The robot which loses the fight will lose a life.
 - The robot which wins will then nominate the next robot to fight against.
 - Once a robot loses all three of it's lives it is then eliminated from the tournament.
 - This cycle repeats until all but three robots are eliminated.

Heat Final

All three finalists would advance to the Grand Final, making a Heat Final a bit pointless, so there would be a 3 Way Rumble added onto the end of the Round Two video. The outcome of this battle wouldn't mean anything.

- There will be a maximum of 40 fights.
 - The three finalists have their lives refilled to three.
 - The lives they had remaining are turned into points. (1 point per life.)
 - I will start with the robot I think has performed the best overall during the first and second rounds.
 - That robot will either take a question (fight one of mine) or nominate (fight) another person.
 - Winning a question will earn you 10 points and you have next pick of question or nominate.
 - Losing a question will mean you lose a life.
 - Winning a nomination battle will earn you no points, but you have next pick of question or nominate.
 - Losing a nomination if you were the challenger will not lose you a life.
 - Losing a nomination if you were the receiver will lose you a life.
 - If you lose all three lives you are eliminated, and your score at that point will be put on the leaderboard.
 - Questions and nominations will continue, if there is only one robot left then it will face questions until it loses all its lives or all 40 fights are completed.
 - If all 40 fights are completed, each remaining life will be converted into 10 points and added to the total, and then will be put on the leaderboard.
 - Once all heats are done the 15 with the highest scores will go into the Grand Final.

Questions and nominations would happen like in 90 - 210, but the robot with the highest score at the end or last remaining robot will go on to the Grand Final.

Questions and nominations would happen like in 90 - 210, but the robot with the highest score at the end or last remaining robot will have their score put on the leaderboard. Once all heats are done the 15 heat winners with the highest scores will go into the Grand Final.

Grand Final
This will work the same as a heat but will contain heat finalists/high scorers/winners depending on the number of entrants. The robot that wins the final round will be declared the Fifteen To One Grand Champion.

You need to change your robot.

MY ENTRY AND SPLASH LAYOUT

Picture of the robot goes in the digital bit in the top left.
The number in the bright blue segment will change depending on what number the robot is in the heat.
I will not be entering as a competitor but I will be building a lot of robots to be used in Round One and the Final of the heats and Grand Final.

*Breathe.*

[RedAce]

Hot Damn, you're hoping to get a lot of bots. I'll definitely enter a bot.

Just to clarify, and please don't act like this is a stupid question, but will we get actual questions or are those the names of the bots?

[Philippa]

Enter as many as you want. (Fukken lots preferably.)

No you wont get actual questions, you only get questions on real Fifteen To One. A question on this is a fight against one of my 40 or so stock robots.

[RedAce]

Actually, a few other questions popped in my mind.

*Could we at least BFE the chassis height to be lower?
*Could we have interchangeable weaponry/ forms for one entry?

[Philippa]

*Could we at least BFE the chassis height to be lower?
*Could we have interchangeable weaponry/ forms for one entry?

*Yes, as long as it is a reasonable height.
*No. Send them as different robots.

I feel I should add at this point all the nominations for Round Two and the choice in the final will be done by a list you send to me in a PM.

EXAMPLE:

Round Two Nominations
5
6
3
14
10
9
7
13
1
4
12
15
2
8
11

I will then take this list and go through it in order when it's that person's turn.

[playzooki]

Definitely entering, sometimes watch repeats of this show.

[Shield]

Wait so it's irl? I'm confused.

[cephalopod]

Wait so it's irl? I'm confused.

Realistic Rule - IRL Realism

[Shield]

Wait so it's irl? I'm confused.

Realistic Rule - IRL Realism

i saw realistic rule and thought he meant this tourney was going to have both standard and IRL bots

[Philippa]

At what point will this get moved from discussion to signups? There isn't a definitive number of votes that would be "half the entry number".

[cephalopod]

Whenever you ask. Major League hosts don't actually need to do the poll.

[Knight]

I don't enter many of these. Does "Realistic Rule - IRL Realism" imply the innards have to be realistic as well?

[cephalopod]

Depends what you mean by the innards being realistic.

[Shield]

Depends what you mean by the innards being realistic.

i think he means, can we have the bot look IRL but the innards not (IE. stacking batteries and other components)

[Merrick]

I am entering so many robots to this.

[Philippa]

I am entering so many robots to this.

Knight, the insides have to be realistic as well, but it's just the same as DSL-S: No stacking and no cutting through components.

[Merrick]

I am entering so many robots to this.

.....how many would you consider to be a silly amount?


Asking for a friend.

[Philippa]

I am entering so many robots to this.

.....how many would you consider to be a silly amount?]

I dunno.  Just enter as many times as you want. I've currently got 25 for the question robots.

Once Fifteen To One is complete I will release an AI pack with all the robots from myself and the competitors to download.

[RedAce]

Once Fifteen To One is complete I will release an AI pack with all the robots from myself and the competitors to download.

Just from this tournament or from every tournament you've hosted so far?

[Philippa]

Once Fifteen To One is complete I will release an AI pack with all the robots from myself and the competitors to download.

Just from this tournament or from every tournament you've hosted so far?

I dunno. Maybe. So far I'm just planning having the arenas and the best 6 robots from each other tourney.
