[DSL-S MW] SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE 3 - SIGNUPS FULL [24/24]
« on: March 03, 2018, 07:35:04 PM »


RULES
Game - DSL 2.2
Weight - Middleweight
Realistic Rule - DSL Standard
24, 32, or 48 entrants. (See battle rules.)
Two entry robots per person, may open this up to three per person if there is enough popularity.
If you can't AI I will do it for you, just don't complain about it if your robot doesn't win.
You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.

BUILDING RULES
If the game says it's a Middleweight then it's allowed.
Component Freedom is banned, but the Rule Of Seven Break is allowed.
Only in game glitches are allowed - eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on.
Robots with tracks get no weight cushion.
No scuttlers, crawlers, walkers, or SNS robots.
Multibots are banned.
You can upgrade your robot or send a new one as much as you like until signups end.
Nothing from Cheatbot2, you know that.
You MAY NOT use more than one of the same component on your robot, this includes all batteries, wheels, weapons, everything.
This means that using 2 extenders of the same length IS NOT allowed, but using different lengths IS allowed.

BATTLE RULES
3 minute fights.
Scrapheap Challenge Arena (Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena with a totally boss skin.)
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
Single elimination bracket, head to head, no rumbles or melees.
If we only get 24 entries (Like SC2 did.) then we'll have a Round Of 24, four wildcards, then single elimination, just like Battlebots 2015.
Once we have 24 entrants, there will be a final countdown of a few days in order to try and get 32 entrants, if there are less than 32 then we'll run with the 24.
Similarly, if I judge there to be significant interest, I'll open up third entries and the tournament will run with 48 entrants like Battlebots 2016.
Judging will be done by points scored during the match, as is custom for Standard tournaments.

The plan is to run this is tandem with Masters Of Disaster 2 since I reckon I'll be able to get this completed while MOD2 is still in signups given how long it took last time. Also this is just a copy/paste of all the stuff from Scrapheap Challenge 2, so feel free to call me out on anything that doesn't make sense, because I might have missed something.

My two entries have been added, and a poll as well to gauge whether everyone's fine with the ruleset, as there have been some minor tweaks in places.

You should do something to help me promote it then. Or even better, start building and showcasing things. :dumb)

A small rule added about entry numbers. Signups won't have a time limit, but once we reach 24 entrants signups will unofficially be over but still open for a few days, in order to still allow there to be 32 in total.

Also, if you guys REALLY surprise me with the amount of entries sent, I might even take this all the way up to 48 entrants and run it like Battlebots 2016. Possibly also allowing third entries if I do.

We got ourselves a sign ups topic.  The quoted rules cannot change.  I wish you luck.

I've not checked them, I've got university coursework to do and also try to balance that with not having a huge freakout. They'll get checked eventually, but from the showcase post they looked fine.

Keep sending things.

Reminder that I'm still taking entrants and I have a fair amount of backlog in my PMs waiting to be checked, but coursework is standing in my way at the moment and I really can't afford to not focus on that.

Keep sending entries to me and I'll get around to things at the start of May.

Hey chefs/thots/bully hunters/gamers, good news for you all. After over a month of delay due to university, I'm finally done with my coursework, and I can get around to checking all the robots that have been sent to me in the past few weeks.

Watch this space!
