Don't worry, it won't start for a while! Atleast not untill I've released SkAI High
But since I'm Major League now, I thought I'd go for something a little bigger than RA2TC
ROBOLEAGUE
The idea is to make a tourney EXACTLY as we run it IRL (well, for the FW UK champs anyway)
So the format would be as follows:
Three qualifying fights (so every bot gets atleast 3 fights), 3 bots in each:
- 4 points for a knockout
- 3 points for a WBP (Win By Points)
- 2 points for second
- 1 point for third
- 0 points for disqualification
Top scorers go into the Final 12 (may have to run a few melee's to decide between bots on the same points)
Yeah, we have the top 10 IRL, but it has to be Final 12 since I can't run a losers melee with 5 bots in
So, 6 fights
Then 3 fights
Three way losers melee
2 Semifinals
1 3rd Place Play Off
1 Grand Final
As well as all that, 8 bots that didn't make the Final 12 go into the Annihil8or, I will choose the bots
I will choose on the basis of making it as interesting as possible, not neccesarily the best bots, but a wide range of bot types
This is only for a bit of fun, like we do IRL
Rules:
1) Stock MW
2) No losers bracket
3) No BFE/AAM/ZeroG/Nasty Pickle etc.
4) Other ingame glitches are allowed
5) Realistic rule does not apply
6) No custom components, cheatbot2 not allowed, but the 140cm extender is allowed
7) Replica Wars Arena
8) Multibots not allowed
This is where it gets weird:
9) A havok results in an instant loss, if it affects other bots in the match, it will be restarted without the havok'ed bot, in qualifying, 0 points is awarded
10) Match time is one minute, (otherwise its too easy to get 4 points in qualifying)
11) You can enter up to 3 bots, upon certain regulations:
- Only your first bot will be AI'd for you, if you can't AI, you can't enter more than one bot, if a bot is sent past your one AI'd limit without working AI, then it will be disqualified
- Only one of your bots can be a Popup/Horizontal Spinner
- Bots are divided into the following categories:
Popup, Spinner, Flipper, Hammer, SNS, Crawler, Rammer/Wammer/Poker
These designs can only be used once, one on each bot
Hybrids are allowed, and fall under the category of the weapon which most weight is used on, SNSNS fall under SNS however
- Each of your entries can only be sent 3 days after the last one, not bothered about what time in the day it is sent
12) My rules of controlled movement: All bots, (bar crawlers) must have two wheels which move the bot!
IRL, one wheel movement is classed as immobile (in the UK anyway)
Other Rules:
13) One update ONLY, this is not per bot, per entrant, and can only be used on one bot, use it wisely
14) I will not reserve spots, send a bot if you want to enter!
Prizes:
One is given to the winner, runner up & annihil8or winner
The winner is also given an extra bot allowance in the next tourney, which I can AI for them
Right, tell me if I've missed anything :D
Please answer the poll seriously, it will determine how many spots are available
