IDEA: RA2 2020 Tournament Season

(1/5) > >>

TheOrcCorp:
Okay so this idea is the most experimental and if it went live wouldn't start until 2020. I was inspired by how the Roblox robot events were run and I did briefly talk with Sevalent about this a while ago.

The RA2 2020 TOURNAMENT SEASON (name WIP)
- To try and encourage people to host/take part in tournaments, this Season would be a topic of some sort showing a list/calender of official tournaments.
- Hosts would have to sign their tournament up to be added to the official list/calender. New/unreliable hosts would probably have to commit to finishing a tournament first before having tournaments accepted.
- Every tournament winner heads to the "End of Year Celebration" to battle it out in a fun tournament where we crown the best of the best but also celebrate a year of tournaments/GTM/RA2 etc etc. These winners will of course be seperated by their meta and weightclass.
- I'm also thinking of adding BOTM and Challenge Belt into this somehow. BOTM is a lot easier of an idea (The 11/12 BOTM winners would be voted on, robot with the most votes wins Bot Of The Year) but Challenge Belt will require some thinking.

I am more than happy to discuss this with all of you as it's a very experimental idea that would require a lot of elbow grease but could be a lot of fun. I'm hoping with this, we can get more Stock/IF tournaments and have more variety in weightclass/arena etc as I feel we've been missing that for a long time. Of course for this to work, it would require EVERYONE to work together.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas.

Cheers! :mrgreen:

this is a sh** idea

I like the idea, but I'd prefer if the top builders in each division went through into the end tourney instead of just the tournament winning bots, so we'd have builders that are incredibly consistently good, but never won a tournament.

Also would help the issue of having like 2 stock bots at the end of the year

Sorry to hear that, if you could give me some reasons why you think that and what you think would improve it then I'd appreciate it. :smile:

Feel this is important to be discussed, could be a decent change if people agree. Perhaps builders who never win a tournament but come 2nd/3rd a lot could be added to the end of year tourney.

Hope to hear more feedback from everyone. It's a bit barebones atm but it's an idea we can work on together, regardless of if it goes ahead or not in the end!

Mystic2000:
only concern i got, as i pointed out on discord, is that if people don't host stock/IF-S a decent number of times the "season finale" for those metas will either be a 1v1 or straight up impossible, superbomb's idea could alleviate the problem

another take on superbomb's idea would be a "People's Champion" award, if people really think a bot that didn't win should get throught to the end stage, it could obtain this award and have a free pass to the season finale, would be handy for bots that lost to a really BS way and probably would have won the whole thing otherwise
