Match 1 of Round 1, Thrackerzod vs DSC, is now up and in the OP. The rest of Round 1 will be uploaded shortly.

That's a shame. Why does he not simply teach it to you? Also, I think Bandicam is free.
He uses his mother's computer. He's not allowed to Download anything onto it...
That's also a shame. If that is the case, then this tournament definitely won't be seen through and I'll lock it.

Having everything done for you sets a bad precedent in tournament hosts and a reliance on people that can hinder a tournament getting off the ground.
That's actually a very well-put point. Pretty much this. I just really don't see why you can't just learn how to AI.

Well, there's also the trouble that hosting is usually only done by one person. If two people are responsible for one tournament, who do we hold accountable if something goes wrong?
It would depend on what the problem is. Failure to the robots themselves, it's on me. Failure on the bracket or videos, it's on him.
However, if you were the one to make the cockup, then I'd have no way of penalising you, except banning you from hosting tournaments, which you're not technically actually doing.

Not entirely, it's also so that the host is 100% accountable if anything goes awry in their tournament. I suppose another thing is that I want hosts to know how to actually AI if their AI'er runs away and isn't there to help. All hosts should know how to AI. It's so easy, I really don't know why anyone who's serious about hosting wouldn't bother learning it.

A long overdue change to the tournament guide: 3) If you cannot AI, do not start a thread until you have found someone who is willing to AI for you learn how to! The best place to ask for help is the General Tournament Discussion Thread.

Guldenflame will be AIing. Not me, so if possible, send your robots to him.
I'm sorry but you're going to have to learn how to AI and do it yourself. If not, I don't think I can really give you the host point.
The guy read the rules.

Ah, that's sadly true that GK did put that. However, I'm probably going to have to talk about possibly changing that because I really do have trouble wondering who should even get the host point, if any of them. I think this issue came up in a different tournament that was in discussion but never got out of the gate. Do remember that G.K.'s post was a guide to hosting tournaments, not the rules. I'd still rather it be the norm that the host learns to AI (because it's so god damn easy.)

In addition, you've only made 5 posts and haven't shown you can either a) Make a robot or b) Stay around long enough to actually run a tournament. I suggest making a showcase, showing off some robots you have made in RA2 and watching other tournaments as they unfold so you can get an idea as to how they run.
You're not ready, young grasshopper.
I jumped straight into doing tournaments when I first joined :P Give him the benefit of the doubt (if he can sort out the following problems.)
After 5 posts over 3 weeks and not showcasing a single robot or entering any other tournaments?
My first tournament was my third post on this site, without making a showcase or entering a tournament beforehand. Like I said, bot building skills and tournament hosting skills do not correlate.

First time a havok explosion decides a match, the match will restart. The second time, the match will continue.
So there's basically no punishment for havoking? Traditionally havoking too much means you forfeit the round/match.
Yep, you're prolly going to want to revise this rule. How long are matches going on for? Is it BO3? Is it single or double elim? Also, I'd like confirmation on whether or not you're entering your own tournament.

they take up like the same space
Not really. I highly doubt anyone's gonna care if someone posts a lossy image of an RA2 bot.

You need to take picture by clicking a F11 button when in game (RA2}, go to screenshot folder, open a picture then crop a picture and post a picture of your robot like this:
[img]example link[/img]
or link to this https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2143.0
and also welcome to GTM!
I'm pretty sure he knows how, he said he's been on the forums before. (Just never registered)
He was (probably) just reserving a spot for later.
It's not like we're running out of space :P There was no real reason to make the showcase right now. He could've waited until he had a bot to showcase.

Rules:
DSL 2.2 - Strict IRL, Heavyweight (399.1-800KGs)
Signups will last for 1 month, but will shorten or lengthen depending on the amount of entrants.
1 entry per person, but will be increased to 2 per person if signups last longer than expected.
I am able to AI your robot, but not very well, so I highly encourage that you AI your own robots.
I resserve the right to reject any robot for any reason, including if your robot is considered to be tryhard.
If your robot is rejected, then you will not have a spot reserved for the tournament until you rebuild your robot to the correct standards.
Building Rules:
All robots have to have 2-wheel drive minimum and show controlled movement, which means that other forms of locomotion will be banned.
Meltybrain SnS'es are allowed, but their weaponry must be static and not flailing or moving.
Clusterbots are allowed, but they have to total up to the 800KG weight limit. They can either be the same or entirely different.
---If 60% of the weight of the cluster goes out, then the entire robot goes out.
Modular robots are allowed, but you will have to tell me what weapon you want to use for your fights. If you don't tell me, then you'd better hope I choose the correct weapon.
Both of the DSC IRL extender packs are allowed.
Cheatbot2 is completely banned.
---The only exception is the hovercraft engine, with a little rule regarding this.
You can create flying robots, but they can only weigh a maximum of 175KGs. They have to be accompanied with another robot.
The usage of BFE is allowed.
Component Freedom is allowed.
All in-game glitches are allowed.
Battle Rules:
The arena will be the RA2#T2 Tournament Arena.
The format of the battles will be double-elimination. Each match is a best of 1, but the final is a best of 3 matches.
Each match will last 3 minutes.
Decisions will be made by me (with yugitom doing the decisions for my matches), judging on the criteria of Damage, Aggression and Control.
The first havok will mean there is a free restart, but the second havok will result in an elimination of the offender.
There will be grudge matches and a rumble at the end of the tournament. Clusters will only have one of the robots competing (what part you want to enter is up to you), and modular robots can only go with one configuration throughout the rumble.

We've had a bit of a rebrand.
Build Rules:
-Ironforge HW
-REALISTIC RULE NOT ENFORCED. ROBOTS MUST BREAK THE REALISTIC RULE
-No BFE/AAM/Hax/Ra2CF
-RO7 break allowed.
-All in game glitches allowed.
-All robots must show controlled movement.
-No Cheap Norris style robots (Venko is the voice of my self doubt.)
-No SNS allowed.
-Multibots are allowed.
-I can AI, but I reserve the right to ask you to AI if needed. All robots must be ai'd to drive towards to enemy robot. ALL ROBOTS MUST BE AI'ABLE
-No cheatbot2 parts allowed.
Tournament rules:
-Unlimited entries
-The format is a double elimination bracket. One robot per user.
-The arena will be the ¡Toreo! arena (See below)
-All matches are Bo3 with 3 minute rounds, except the grand finals, which are Bo5.
-Each robot gets one havok restart per match. Any further counts as a round loss.
I shall be entering.
The arena for this tournament will be none other than the ¡Toreo! arena. It is a modified version of the Ring Arena with higher sides.
You can download the arena here.

The previous poll had 15 votes for Yes. I have removed it and replaced it with a new poll, as announcing the arena and adding some (boring bookkeeping) rules is a large thing. Please vote in it.
This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. You've got 9 months, enjoy

This thread is just typical ACAMS bait. Have you forgotten about the element of surprise? Now all the Hillary fans are already gone. ARC has surpassed us every step of the way.

For future reference, Gulden, be sure to check bots thoroughly for silly mistakes like this. In future, try downloading full versions of games instead of patch versions. Makes everything easier/cleaner, especially when it comes to hosting tournaments. And I promise that'll be the last thing that will be said about this issue. Good luck with the rest of the tourney.
