Forfeiting, is not allowed.

There will be an end-tournament rumble.

I will be doing the AI (and bindings), unless you're willing to AI (and bind) yours.

You cannot enter, until I have received, and accepted your robot.
          I will be more stricter when it comes to entries.
          You must send the link to the robot.
                    You can send them to me through Discord.

I will fix your robot wirings, if they are incorrect.
          Srimechs will be added by me, if the robot looks like it can self-right.

Some textures will be edited/re-skinned.

Regarding Cheatbot2 parts, see Cheatbot2.


IRL Components is legal.
CF and Ro7 is legal.


I have made two components that will be allowed for the tournament (I have only used one of them).
          They are coloured wedgelets to match two coloured extenders (Aluminium, and IRL Black Extender), without the need of re-texturing existing components.
          They can be downloaded here.
                    Make a backup of your 'beater1.txt' file in Components.


There is one component that has been brought over from 2.1 that is legal for this tournament.

Tutorial on importing the Hammer Motor

In your components folder of 2.1, go into hammermotor then copy-paste "hammermotor.gmf" into the same folder of 2.2. Next, download this, copy-paste or drag that into the components folder of 2.2. You should hopefully now have the Hammer Motor in your 2.2 game, listed under Motors.

Match Rules

It will be a Score-based Competition tournament, which will then become a Single Elimination tournament with the final 4 robots.

The 16 robots will compete in a number of variety matches, earning points based on their performance.

There will be 4 rounds.

Round 1

Vs Spin & Twirl

                 

Your robot will compete in a handicap match against two lightweights, with a 3 minute time-limit. The aim is to defeat them, or survive them.

3 points for a win.
2 point for a time-limit end after defeating either Spin or Twirl.
1 point for a time-limit end.
0 points for a loss.

Round 2

King of the Hill with Cream & Squash

                 

Your robot will compete in a handicap match against two middleweight twins, with a 3 minute time-limit in a King of the Hill match. The aim is to get as many points as either of them, or survive them.

3 points for more points than either Cream or Squash.
2 points for Cream and Squash losing during the match.
0 points for a loss (less points than Cream or Squash or losing during the match)

Round 3

Sumo with Wheel

Your robot will compete in a one-on-one match against a ring-spinning super heavyweight, with a 2 minute time-limit (up for discussion) in a Sumo match. The aim is to defeat it, or survive it.

The amount of time in which your robot has either defeated or survived against Wheel, will be your points scored.
0 points for a loss.

Round 4

Vs Roll

Your robot will compete in a one-on-one match against the super heavyweight leader, with a 2 minute time-limit. The aim is to defeat it, or survive it.

The amount of time in which your robot has either defeated or survived against Roll, will be your points scored.
0 points for a loss.

Round 5

The Final

The four robots that have the highest score will compete in the single elimination eliminators to determine the survivor of the Hostile Circus.

When there're robots with the same amount of points during the final 4 tally, they will compete in a mini-rumble to determine who advances.




The four robots after round 4, that have the most points, will advance to the Single Elimination round, to determine the winner of the tournament.

Special Round - All robots (with or without more) fight each other, in a big rumble finale.


No judges' decisions will be made during the tournament, until Round 5. Will be all based on the in-game point decisions.
          A judges' decision will be based on points scored, during the rumble.
                    Lowest points scored, eliminates the competitor.
          The Status Messages will be turned on, in case of a controversial countout.

A robot will never be disqualified for havoking. If a havok happens, the match will continue, unless it eliminates a competitor or disrupts the match (flying out of the arena, underneath the map, etc.), then the match will restart.
          The rumble will include havok eliminations.
