Tournament Archives / Re: IMPORTANT CHANGES: Tournament Rule Change Discussion

« on: February 03, 2017, 02:54:42 PM »

Idea for you guys: how would you feel about getting rid of the 3 week grace period and extending tournament time limits from 3 months to 4 months? This would hopefully make things easier for staff to organize, give hosts an extra week, and make the system possibly less confusing.

I've already talked with Thacker about it, and he seems pretty positive about it, so I'm wondering if anyone else has anything to add before it gets finalized.

All current tournament will also get a 1 week extension if the time limit is changed to make up for lost time.

I like

def go for more weapons considering how cucked FS weapons are in IF. weapon motor's feel a little overkill for a FS as well.

The only thing keeping those bot types viable is tournament hosts banning bots that are too good.  Apply that to any meta and you'll end up the same result.

Thanks for doing videos, RedAce and Geice!  It looks like you've already updated the bracket; I also went ahead and put them on the OP.

Woulda been nice if I hadn't lost due to a massive havok explosion propelling Badger's bot high enough to hit mine.  Didn't have to record the episode, though, so I guess I can't look a gift horse in the mouth too much.

tbf that's just an issue of the cannons in retooled. i probably should've done a havok, but i found it way to frequent to consider and it would've been counted as havok restarts against your bot

It sounds like...Paper Mario? Guess the music style hasn't changed since the last one I played on Wii

It's actually Pokemon: Enter the Ultra Beasts.  Does sound very Paper Mario-y, though.

If I may hazard a guess as to what the final fight music will be...

only if redace is in the finals

Whats a moral victory?

Think of the US Election. Clinton lost the election but she stuck to her values, always was herself and so she could call it a moral victory.

not a very good example at all fam

if you guys didn't know, the whole tournament points system for the sawblade is based on your in game points. so if you get a sh** ton of in game points in a match you can pretty much skip every tournment event

alright, haven't seen anyone try this in a long time. name is subject to change

Rules
- Stock HW, 399-800
- 1v1, Bo3, double elim
- Probably 16 entries
- Arena TBA, will probably be a semi-large open arena
- BFE, AAM, Hax mode and anything similar are banned
- Meltybrain is banned
- Trinity spinners are banned
- Multibots are banned
- I can reject a robot for any reason

Building rules
- DSL-S realistic
- Bots must show controlled movemnet
- Pure popups are banned, popups hybrids are fine as long as they are at least 50/50 with the other bot type
- The only components that can be stacked inside themselves are baseplate anchors
- Exostacking is banned, casters are fine however
- RO7 is break is allowed, other features are not
- Try to keep your bot actually legal if you're gonna use ra2cf to build
- I may give certain bot types a weight bonus to make them not completely useless (mainly certain wedgeless/non-stilit bot types such as pokers)

tldr: stock hw with dsl-s

I'll update this some more when I get off mobile, probably gonna add something about allowing 2 entries and clean the rules up some more.


Any thoughts? mainly looking for feedback on the extra weight idea

try using firebeetles compiler and changing MAP_DIFFUSE to MAP_REFLECT and then changing MAP_TYPE SCREEN to MAP_TYPE SPHERICAL or CYLINDRICAL. might have to play around with the two to get a good blamce
