I'll probably be hosting another wacky gimmick tourney like this in the near future 
Well here's that tourney. Tracks are hardly ever used in IRL builds due to their immense weight, giant size, and overall less practicality when compared to wheels. So I was wondering how a tournament of only tracked bots would go.
GENERAL RULES-DSL IRL HW
-16 Entries
-Double Elimination Bracket
-Starcore Arena
BUILDING RULES-800kg or less
-Only allowed form of movement is with tracks
-Bots must have a chassis,
no pixelchassis-Multibots are allowed but both must use tracks for drive
-A bot that utilizes servos or a hammer not powered by bursts will be accepted only if it is already AI'd
-DSC's IRL Pack, Component Freedom, kix's locked npcs, and BFE is all allowed.
-I retain the right to reject any bot for any reason
-One bot per person unless the 16 person limit cannot be reached where it will be opened up to two
FIGHT RULES-3 havok resets allowed per match (will not be present in vid)
-3 min fight
-Judges Decision will be based on Damage Aggression and Control with each category splitting 9 points between the two bots
-If a robot has all of its tracks removed then it will be considered knocked out
-A manual countdown will be initiated if a bot cannot show controlled movement for more than 20 seconds
SIDE EVENT-DSL-S, Ironforge, and Retooled will each have their own single elimination mini bracket to accommodate the main tourney
-The minimum number of entries for each meta is 4. If this number is not reached in one of the metas then it will not participate. The maximum bots per will be 8.
-Each meta follows their standard ruleset
-Each meta follows their heavyweight weight restriction
-The bots must only use tracks for movement
-I retain the right to reject any bot for any reason
-Entrants can send bots for as many or as few metas as they would like. Only one bot is allowed per meta though
-A bot that utilizes servos or a hammer not powered by bursts will be accepted only if it is already AI'd
-If you are not participating in the main IRL tourney you can still enter a side event
-Fight rules are the same as the ones posted above

Notes:
I decided to enact the chassisbot rule due to several factors
1. the majority of tracked bots I've seen are chassisbots
2. havoks r dum and ruin good fights
3. uhhhh... chassis skins
In order to ensure that a whole bunch of overheads or gutrippers murder the chassis in 3 seconds, I chose the Starcore arena to provide ample flipout zones. This should hopefully balance the field out and provide builders with the choice to try and go for the oota or bite into that juicy chassis for a KO
What do you guys think and would you be down to enter this?
