I know about DSA
Is this an old bot, then?

half-jokebot, half punchbot
What's a 'punch bot'? Do you mean 'poker'?

Try putting spoilers in spoiler tags, please.

So what is the list of events that are happening?
Well, despite the appearance of the better version, the tournament will be in SR, so the only 3 in that. Make 3 zooks, one for each event.
Should we alternate between the two versions of the game inbetween tournaments (A la BBEANS1,3
and 5 were stock, then 2,4 and 6 were DSL? I feek the older events are superior.
Bumping this just to mention that if you want to use the old events, you don't need to get the old Zook Kit working; you can simply copy the Contest Pack data from both the ContestPacks folder and the Contests folder to the BAMZOOKi SR version of the Zook Kit. I was having problems getting the old Zook Kit to run, however I found that the contests work fine on the SR version (even if the textures look a little off as they automatically get replaced with the SR textures) so there isn't any need to go to the old version, really.
Also, going back and forth between versions may be a hassle for some people, and considering that people have already had a fairly large amount of problems getting the Zook Kit to run in the first place, we should just use the SR version with the SR and original contests.
Also, we are defiantly still going ahead with the tourney. If you still want to make a team of Zooks for it, I think you still can (may have to check with Yugitom and see if he's still accepting entries)
That's really good news, as we get the best of both worlds, there. And, yeah, I'll be accepting entries up until the first or second video of the tournament (which will, hopefully, be happening after my tourney.)

Round 2 will be tomorrow, hopefully.
Or a bit sooner.

With that, the brackets now become spoilerific. Btw, if you're not familiar with how Swiss brackets work, the brackets try to match up opponents with the same/similar record. It's meant to be so that those in the higher end of the bracket will be fighting each other at all times and same for the lower end. Considering Swiss is meant to be a quick version of Round Robin, it makes sure that no competitor has an advantage by only beating the poor scoring competitors. Just thought I'd get that explanation out of the way.
Round 2 will be tomorrow, hopefully.

Oh, wow, they all look really nice. How long have you been making these?

also I can't see RedAce's entry
Yugi probably named the file after the actual name of the bot. My best bet would be to go to Look and Layout on your Forum Profile and check the "Leave words uncensored" box if you wanna see it.

:P Super hyped for this tournament. Thrackerzod's and RedAce's entries look very dangerous if their wedges are good. When can we expect the first video to be uploaded?
Good to hear you're anticipating the matches. I was hoping to get round 1 out today but life got in the way but, I would like to plow through the main bulk, tomorrow.

I may enter as a joke with steel much? how would I send the file (sorry I aint to smart at this).
With that, the signups is done and the SBV thread will follow, soon.
I'm accepting no more entries, I'm afraid. For future reference, if you want to enter a tournament, follow this tutorial: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=17179.0

You're gonna need a serious majority if you want to expect a good number of entrants. By which, I mean you'll need 50%+ people agreeing on the metagame or else this tournament may fall short where a certain other similar tournament did.

Oh, alright, that doesn't sound too bad, then. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to do that, so I would very much appreciate any help in that area.

Backdating rankings wouldn't be a very good incentive for people to start out because they'd have ways to go before they could even consider being in the top 3. Not sure if this is off-topic or not as it is tournament discussion related, but anyway...
I believe the only reason we (me, Sage, RedAce and Kill) haven't pushed for the RA2 League to happen yet is because we were worried it would lose a lot of interest if people moved on to RA3.
I've also been meaning to get a practice stream up and going for a while, but I've been busy with college and ToT 2 and all that, so it's been on the back burner for a while. I also have had to take care of work schedule that has been increasing over the past few days. I'm still up for doing it. I just need to do some work arounds. If all goes well, I could stream a practice tourney next Saturday unless I get some sudden things that will take up that night.
tl;dr Still interested in this. Might make a practice stream soon.
Cool stuff. Be sure to contact me on Steam at some point so we have a clear plan of action. Why don't we do 3 majors and 1 huge tournament, officially sanctioned by GTM and they give points for a ladder system. Maybe on a 4 monthly cycle.
Are you insinuating that these tournaments are the only ones that would give out ranking points? If so, that goes against why I want this system in the first place. It gives an incentive for all members to join every given tournament (with the possible exception of gimmicky tournaments) as they can get higher up on the tournament rankings. Thinking about it, though, I believe that the one official GTM tournament shouldn't be a league and simply an easy to digest double elimination tournament on the scale of BBEANS and Battlebots. That'll make things much cleaner and nice to setup every time it comes around. I'll talk with other staff members about that possibility (possibly Craaig more than anyone else, due to him being the previous and seasoned tournament section moderator) and then, hopefully, talk to Trov about getting the official tournament advertised on the front page of GTM, just like how the BOTM is. Trov being AFK lately is likely to put a spanner in the works but there is a lot to go through before getting to the stage of talking to him, anyway. Btw, I am appreciating the feedback so far and I'm glad that I am able to instigate this topic of discussion as the tournament section moderator.

I received playzooki's entry a little while back. I'll be sure to get Jet and zook's bots checked asap.

I'm all in favor of a leader board system, but I feel it's just going be the same 6 people who always enter tournaments. Lack of tournament turnout, imo, is because of a low interest in general for RA2 and an oversaturation of smaller tournaments without any other large-scale offerings (BBEANS, Clash Cubes)
I was also concerned about that and I thought it could be possible to kick-start the ranking system with an official GTM tournament. I believe the only reason we (me, Sage, RedAce and Kill) haven't pushed for the RA2 League to happen yet is because we were worried it would lose a lot of interest if people moved on to RA3. However, now, with RA3's launch and no-one seems to be in a rush to drop RA2 for it, I think it may be worth pushing very soon. Tbf, thank you very much for jogging my memory on that because I may get in contact with Kill and the other hosts to see when we can get the big signups open for it.

low turnout recently
Speaking of, would people in favour of an official tournament ranking system? There'd be a few issues making it up because some gimmicky tournaments may need to be excluded from affecting the leaderboard and other such issues. I was thinking about making tournaments that fit a certain criteria only able to affect the official rankings. Then, at the end of the year (or 12 months after being initially set up), the top 3 get some form of prizes. If I coupled this idea with an official GTM tournament, the prizes could include an AI pack consisting of robots that entered it. Thoughts?

Is this being streamed?
I think Robo is planning on streaming it, yeah.
