This is Battle Wars!
And this tournament will sort the best from the rest, in search of the GTM Battle Wars Champion.
Battles will take place in the bulletproof terror-dome that is the Battle Wars Arena
Haven't made this one yet either but it'll look kind of like this:
Featuring the Pulverizer, the Spike Pit, and the corner spikes that I didn't include in the picture for some reason
And that's not the only thing contestants will have to deal with!
Each fight will feature one of our House Robots, controlled by a human, which the contestants have been programmed to ignore.
For more on the House Robots themselves, keep reading to the bottom of the post!
The format is as follows. There will be 6 heats of 6 robots, for a total of 36 entrants.
The heat will consist of 2 3-way melees, followed by a round robin between the 4 that qualify - 3 points for a KO and 2 for a WBP. The 2 robots with the most points will go into the Heat Final.
The Heat Winners will progress to the Final episode, where the same format from the heats will take place.

BUILDING RULES:-Ironforge
-Strict DSL-S Building Style
-MW Weight Limit - up to 200kg (not including a maximum of 4 free IF ballasts)
-No Clusterbots
-CF and BFE
not allowed
for enhanced realism, as long as IRL guidelines are still adhered to.-No cheatbot2, no custom components
aside from DSC's IRL Components Pack (Extender reskins).-No maximums of ANY of components. What do you think this is, DSL?
-Skinned components permitted as long as you submit a separate style for the component.
-Interchangeable weapons are not permitted due to the nature of the episodic format
-No weaponized wheels (i.e. crawlers). Discs may be allowed for wheels as long as no weapons are attached to the edges.
To help this tournament be a true event to remember, please, consider entering a robot never seen in any other tournament, whether the robot is a MW by design or an upgraded LW/downgraded HW. When I gave an unlimited weight limit for the House Robots, I received some amazing, unique designs. Let's do the same in the MW category :D
A nice theme is also encouraged! Skin your bot, give it some real personality, then we can make the episodes something not only RA2 fans will enjoy, but Robot Combat fans in general, and show the entire community how great GTM is.
Thank you so much, let's make this tournament a real special occasion! <3
ENTERING REGULATIONS:-Entries rejected due to non-adherence to rules will not be guaranteed a place if the tournament is filled before a fix is sent. You have 1 chance to update a rejected entry, even if signups are not filled after the second failure.
-I reserve the right to decline any robot for any reason, including if I don't think your bot is 'DSL-S' enough.
-No updates
-36 entries, maximum.
-Any robots sent before signups open will be rejected and must be resent when signups open.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT-Matches will be 3 minutes in length in the Battle Wars 20XX Arena.
-The bracket will be largely similar to Robot Wars 2016, with 6 heats of 6 robots instead of 5 heats of 8.
- Round 1 - 2 3-way melees 4 bots go through
- Round 2 - Round Robin between all 4 qualified entrants. 3 points for a KO, 2 for a WBP.
- Heat Final - The top 2 bots in the league table go into the Heat Final, and the winner of this progresses into the Final Episode.
-Each match will contain a House Robot. The House Robot, controlled by myself, will go wherever they please, because that's how I roll. I will not be entering due to controlling the House Robots. The AI have been programmed not to attack the House Robot unless the other opponent has been defeated.
-I will be judging based on in-game points, which any host worth their salt uses.
