Title: Apex: Invitational
Post by: Hoppin on May 23, 2019, 05:09:40 PM
Hello all. Some of you have concerns about the next series of Apex and I want to address them.

This is a in-between series and should be treated as such. This will not be the standard format for main Apex events.

It's true that I have stated strong opinions about entries, but it doesn't mean I will ever treat them unfairly and often times the opinion is an exaggeration, plus other's do this with other peoples bots too so I personally don't think there's much difference. But I do hope these invite only events will push people to increase the standard of their builds instead of creating a circle jerk to inflate their own ego.

This will not be for a while, please understand this. I have a list of candidates I'm looking to invite for this. I hope people can step up their game to give me a reason to put them on that list

Edit: The list contains names of old and new builders, whilst mosting old due to how experience works, etc.

Edit 2: Any issues, of further concerns. Please drop me a message.

please enter heck

Honestly I don't see how people have any issues w/ this. Hosts can do basically whatever tf they want with their tournaments, especially since the rules around "personal" tournaments disappeared. Having a small "showmatch" style tournament between the best builders is a pretty cool idea I think, and fits the theme of the Apex Elite "brand", or at least the inspiration behind it. If you don't get selected, first git gud, then enjoy the tournament vids from the sideline. No skin off your back, there's plenty of other IRL tournaments you can enter. Spare a thought for DSL-S builders/boomers past.

Hello all.

Some updates to some changes in regards to this.

I plan to reduce the number of invite spots down to 15 and open up 1 open qualifier spot to those interested.

To prevent people from entering low effort robots, I'll be running the clause of being able to deny robots for low quality. I'll be specifically looking for build techniques than looking at build styles and how they compare with your other builds, an example of what im looking for is Sickle robotics with Voodoo and Why not SK. This kinda stuff of genuine effort to improve skills and push your boundaries is what I want to see.

Any questions, please post here or direct message me on GTM or discord

Post by: Hoppin on March 29, 2020, 01:21:46 AM
Hello all.

With the recent discussion about tournaments and rulesets in alignment with the recent self isolation period, I've decided to kick myself into gear to see this event on. This will mean I'll be completing Apex first. I would like to sincerely apologise about the long overdue delay.

What does that mean for you guys?
Whilst I have a list of people I am looking at, it does not mean it is final. I ask that if you are truely looking to be imvited to this, you build and uploaded it for us all to see. You'll have approximately until Apex is finished up to make yourself seen and put on the list. Some people I was looking toinvite are not active, so there is some room fpr new players

In terms of rules. I'll be most likely to use a variant of the 2020 ruleset. Mainly removal of flat motors with exceptions depending on weapon types. 4/6 setup tooth limit. But I'll provide a full ruleset when the time comes.

Thank you all for your patience, in means the world.
