Added rule about flamethrowers which I thought I'd address outright for the non-Brits out here.

Is the arena publicly available for download?
Fairly sure it's in the RWRA2 mod and I don't think it's available for DL separately.

I dunno, the BWs in this look pretty nice. Not to mention that I want the weight class to be as close to FW as possible.

Please show your byebots in the OP.

Took the design from memory of a playing card I found as a kid, never knew what game it was supposed to be from though.

They don't call me Poketom for nothing

Btw, I should say that DSC's IRL components are allowed.

One final question: Is there any possible limits on weaponry like Frenzy Hammers and Overkill Blades?
No. Anyone that does spam OP weapons will just be rejected, anyway.

When you say no spinners, drums are cool tho yeah?
Drums are spinners. Drums are banned.

And distractionbots are banned too right?
Not necessarily. I suppose having a distraction bot would make you a multibot, which are allowed.

Are rammers with flail sawblades allowed? Because I wanted to build something unique.
Depends how realistic it turns out to be. Just use your common sense whilst building and you'll probably guess whether or not it's allowed.

DSL 2.2
Multibots are allowed for anything but the Tag Team Terror.
Sawblades are banned under the no-spinner rule. Btw, servo motors are completely fine if one wants to make a bot like Cherub or something.
SnS as in Nuts? If so, then that's fine. Your typical stock/DSL-S SnS is banned, tho.

"nice, original logo, yugi" ikr, thanks for bringing it up
In GMod, I have a cool series going on called "Garry's Wars Live", in which everyone tries their absolute hardest to make Live(Extreme)-esque robots and make them look the best they can be. I have run it twice and it has been great fun both times. Here's a link to the first one, for reference:
So, I kinda want to do it in RA2. I will have to change the format a bit because I was very selective in the Garry's Mod version, considering it was very relaxed and not competitive, however I will have to have less of a hand in matchmaking in this iteration, in order to stay impartial enough for this to be a proper GTM tournament.

Rules and everything you need to know:
DSL 2.2
HW and BW
Very strict and selective IRL - Not only must your bot be IRL but it needs to look good. Give all your bots your best effort and this tournament will end up looking amazing. Don't worry about combat effectiveness too much because this format has always been intended, and will continue, to be incredibly relaxed and suited for fun and showcasing very good-looking IRL bots. I reserve the right to reject anything if I deem it below the standard assumed by this rule.
DSC's IRL Components are allowed.
Rob's black beater bars are allowed.
In terms of BFE, in-game glitches, cheatbot2 and all that jazz, it's all allowed - This is extremely counter-balanced by the IRL rule, as one should know and assume. Just use what you need to use in order to make really good-looking robots!
Spinners are banned - This will be rather upsetting for some builders but do bear in mind the theme of this tournament. You must be making robots that you would likely see on the Live circuit (now Extreme Robots). Considering even Extreme Robots are having issues allowing spinners, right now, then I'm gonna take issue with accepting them in this tournament. Spinners will be allowed for the lower weightclass (BW). Servos for weapons such as Cherub's (lifters) are fine.
Flamethrowers are banned for reasons akin to the spinner ban.
Interchangeable weaponry is allowed.
Multibots are allowed.
I will only restart havok explosions if there is no clear winner - If havok explosions keep happening and they happen so soon that no winner is obvious, then I'll just have to DQ whichever bot is havoking.
The arena will be the Robot Wars Live arena from the RWRA2 mod, if you haven't already assumed/guessed.
I'll do all the AI, although the burden of AI'ing may be on you if I can't get tricky bot types to work properly. Basically, just stick to Eruption-style flippers and everyone's happy ;)
Unlimited amount of people can enter, although I may provide a restriction if I feel like little interest in this results in procrastination from the few that do wish to enter.
I will mention the amount of bots I will accept per entrant after I go over the format, in order to not confuse anyone.

Format:
GTM Live - This is the main event/bracket. This is a single elimination tournament for HWs.
Tag Team Terror - You can either enter your own team of 2 HWs to enter this bracket, or you can team up with someone else and enter as a team that way. Single elimination bracket.
BW Rumble - The format of this may differ depending on how many people enter. If 16 BWs get entered, there will be 4 4-way rumbles in order to determine the final 4-way which will determine the winner. If 8 or 12 enter, the format will be the same, just with less qualifying rumbles. If it's something like 18, then it will be 3-way rumbles and I think you get the idea. If I cannot, somehow, fit rumbles into the format due to the number of entries, it'll simply be single elimination.
Flipper Frenzy - This is just a one-off side event in which I will cherry pick 4 of the best looking flippers, if there are 4, and they'll face off in a rumble. This may or may not happen, it depends on the bot types entered.
Royal Rumble - This is my take on the Annihilator. Every HW entered into the main competition will be given a random number and that will be its entry number. Numbers 1-4 will begin a rumble. Once one robot is eliminated, I will restart the rumble with the eliminated participant being replaced by entry 5 and so on.
Exhibition/Grudge Matches - Once the splashes are up, feel free to request any fights you'd like to see and they'll all be done once all the events are over.

Rules and everything you need to know cont.:
Each entrant may enter up to 3 bots in the main comp, up to 2 additional HWs for the Tag Team Terror and up to 2 BWs - This means you can enter up to 7 bots maximum (3 for the main comp, 2 for the Tag Team Terror if you're going solo and 2 for the BW comp). Your entry/ies for the main comp may be one or both of your entries for the Tag Team Terror.
You have to enter the main competition but you do not have to enter the other events - You'll automatically be entered into the Royal Rumble and, possibly, the Flipper Frenzy with your main comp bot, anyway.
Every entrant has gotta have theme music for their main comp bot! - If you've ever seen a Live event or the video linked at the top, you'll know that every bot has gotta have their intro theme. When sending your bot(s) in, provide me with a link and timestamp to the intro music of your GTM Live bot. The intro should only last around 10 seconds, so bear that in-mind when sending it to me. If you don't provide me with music, I'll improvise based on your bot's name and/or appearance. I won't accept anything for intro music, however. Be, at least, semi-realistic in terms of music choice.

I hope everyone can sense the showcase-y type feel I am giving to this tournament because I really would like this to be the grand spectacle of IRL talent that it is in GMod. Don't take this tournament incredibly seriously in terms of competitiveness. No-one is gonna give you mad props for winning but one will definitely give you credit for an awesome IRL build.

I really wouldn't advise voting 'yes' to a tournament you're not actually going to enter. It allows tournaments to go through that just end up flopping.

I hope you get sued by Mentorn.
I read that as
I hope you get sucked by Mentorn.
and I thought it was a rather weird comment.
