Ok that's true IRL will get a lot of people intrested. It's just that antweights is such as an odd category too base it around. I can see it being quite difficult for some players to build too that weight catogorey. Although what do I know

I doubt many users will enter antweights, like I like IRL and even I'm not interested in that

Look, I know how much you want to go forward with DSL-IRL Antweights Superbot and I'm not stopping you from doing so. But maybe you should think about what other users want for a tournament and also building up hosting trust between said users, instead of jumping into the idea straight away. You could start out with maybe doing a Heavyweight or Lightweight IRL tournament first to get users attention and trust, before attempting to do an Antweight tournament.

AW works best in something like DSL-S. Just because you still get DSL's part variety, and you don't have to put weight into things like strong motor supports or chassis. IMO this flaw isn't noticed at LW or above.

Yeah, heavyweight is better. Also, what format do you want the tournament to be? Is it like Robot Wars, with heats and Grand Final, or Battlebots, with brackets and 1v1 fight between bots

I can’t ai no matter how long I try... but I have an idea that I posted in the chat box 2 seconds ago!

Beyblades: DSL-IRL. Bot has to look beyblade ish. Flatmotor allowed. Weapon spam allowed because some beys look weapon spammy. Arena: custom arena resembling a beystadium. Weight class: heavyweight


Edit: bot has to act somewhat like a bey too. Which means only meltybrains are allowed.

Double edit: double elimination.

Only Meltybrain?  Why no shell spinners?
Also, last I watched most of the tournaments were single elimination.

I'd enter this but hosting it would be another story.
I have several opinions.

UPDATE: my ra2 beyblade tournament has this set of new rules.

DSL IRL

HW

Meltybrain and shells allowed.

Bot has to look beyblade like. I’ll be a be a bit lenient on this regard as it is hard to make one of these.

Flatmotor allowed

Flex top arena. Hazards off. (I think that means no flex.)

Weapon spam permitted as Beyblades look spammy.

Superbot AI’s

Double elimination.

Edit: Ro7 break allowed plus realistic motor+chassis intersection.

Edit 2: dsc component pack allowed.

sorry triple edit: custom arena would be preferable to flex top.

oh....uh.....i shoulda read this before starting something.....whoops

However, I have an idea of a new type of tournament. I call it "Each One Like Another". The name is self explanatory, but basically, I'll choose a bot to recreate, and the competitors will have to build a replica. It doesn't need to be battle ready, but we could have them fight eachother. What does everyone think?

Tournament ideas:
- Parsec RWRA2
- Sumo but burst motors are banned
- All weapons do no damage. Flippers might have to be banned too
- Another Emergency Exit, or a different boss rush style tournament

Thoughts?
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

That third one seems like a good spectator sport.

In between Centauris (8 players) I'm thinking of doing 4 player mini tourneys that I can film in one day (5-6 matches). don't have a name as of yet. Each one can be a different event or the competitors can vote on the subject or whatever. I may enter some of these.


Ideas:

1 hour build-off
Pick a stock ai HW
mystery meta
random arena
fun themes (walker bots etc)
everyone submits a bot and you have to drive someone else's
n00b warz: pvp



Could be fun little tournaments with the potential to be competitive or fairly casual. 4 players is easy to organize and doesn't take long if I'm pressed for time with a full centauri. They would likely be double elim, round robin always kinda bored me.

A Team Tag Tournament, but you don't need to find partner.
First off, you join the tournament. After the sign up over, I will show which guys you teamed up with.
