But maybe some who can't build are better off hosting!

I'd be so happy to enter this. I loved the BB seeding bracket format, so a RA2 version would be so cool.

Please do this, I'd be happy to enter

Please do! Tourney thread is in the Personal section now.  :dance:

I don't Know if anyone has previously done this but what about an IRL tournament where your not allowed spinners. I would do this if I had the skills and equipment

There was supposed to be one relatively recently but it got put on the back burner and then never came out.

I'd be all over this too, but I ain't putting pressure on anyone especially as I have neither the time or skills or equipment either

What I wanna see is an IRL stock tournament. That's almost never been done before and we'd get a lot of unusual designs in a desperate bid to look original.

"Why not just use DSL 2.2?"

Shut up, we've done that WAY too much now. Doing an IRL tourney in stock or maybe even Ironforge would be pretty unique of an experience.

Banter Wars I'd say is a good example for Stock, I appreciate it more than OTT weapon spam!

So, I've always wanted to make a tournament but I have never had the confidence or skills to be able to host it but now that I have read through the general tournament guide I think I have an Idea on how im gonna do it.

No Spinner Tournament
DSL-IRL HW(or CW)
Arena: robot wars 2016 arena (with custom skins)
no servo's unless you can AI it
no cheatbot2 parts
no overhead thwak bots because I dunno how to AI
walkers and shufflers allowed and get a weight boost (I dont know how much of a boost)

This is only a quick run through of the basic rules and there is alot I will include if I do make it. I am also going to try and keep the bracket small so I dont get over welled. There is no guarantees that I will make it but If I do im going to try my very hardest to make sure I dont give up on it. Im going to try AI as much as I can but to carry the work load Im going to see if I can get a friend to also do some so we can get it done quicker. I would love to hear what you guys think :)
