(If you have any name suggestions, then let me know please, thanks.)
GENERAL RULES:- DSL 2.2 LW's, MW's, and HW's.
- IRL Building Style
- 64 bots in each Bracket
- This will be three separate tournaments in three different weightclass divisions, and you don't have to enter all three just to compete in one.
- You can enter one bot per weightclass division, but if signups aren't completely filled up within the deadline, then I will extend for another week and allow secondary entrants.
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot or you will disqualified automatically (It will not change once the SBV thread is up.)
- I will enter if there's open spots remaining when the signups are closed.
BUILDING RULES:- DSL 2.2 Bots only
- Lightweights (175.1 - 249.0 KG), Middleweights (249.1 - 399.0 KG), and Heavyweights (399.1 - 800.0 KG) only.
-
Very Strict IRL Rules Apply
- Walkers/Shufflers will get a double weight bonus, but half of the total weight of the bot must be used on the walker/shuffler mechanism itself.
- Multibots are allowed, but for the melee matches, only the heaviest robot will participate.
- You may wish to use the following, but you can only use ONE: Mechavore disc, Microvore disc, Moros blade, Frenzy hammer, Minion disc, Overkill blade
- Interchangeable weapons and forms (Swiss Army Bots) are allowed
(See Swiss Army Rules for more details)- The DSC IRL packs will be allowed (Even future releases).
- You can send your own component reskins as long as you provide the necessary files to me when you enter and the only change to said component(s) is the skin.
- All cheatbot2 components are banned
- BFE, AAM, OBJRA2 and Every Sergepatcher Component Freedom tool, except for the weight bonus one, will be allowed for IRL purposes
- You can make an update once and only once (The only exception if it's a skin change or anything
extremely minor), but I will stop allowing updates when signups close.
- Replicas of any existing bot will be banned. Period.
- If an updated bot is illegal, then I will use the original bot you sent me.
Swiss Army Rules:Nothing too complicated here, but here's some extra details in case you have any questions:
- You can enter a maximum of 6 Swiss army configurations (If you're willing to put yourself through that nonsense, then go on ahead)
- Once the SBV thread is up, you MUST provide me a full list of
all the configurations for each robot
- I will send a time limit for those who have not submitted a submission for their configuration and if you do not meet the limit, then I will use whatever configuration I think fits best.
BATTLE RULES:- 3 minute length matches
- The arena used will be [TBA] (Reskinned)
- 1 vs. 1 Battle format
- Best of 1
- Havoks will not be shown in the videos, but if a robot havoks five times that costs the match, then the robot will be eliminated and will be referenced to "technical issues" (Havoks will be shown in a separate standalone video to say " Guys, I'm not lying")
- This will be a Double Elimination Tournament
- In the event of a tie, then there will be a sudden death melee to decide who moves on.
- I will be judging every bot on a spectrum of 45 points from three categories: Aggression, Damage, and Control/Strategy (in other words, Classic Battlebots style judging).
Side Events:
I have a couple side events that have their own specific weightclass. You can enter if you'd like. All of the above rules take place, but every event has their own rules to keep in mind. Here are the events that will be taking place:
TAG-TEAM TAKE-DOWN:
- 16 Entrants divided into two teams
- Lightweights only
- 2 vs 2 Battle Format
- This will be a Single Elimination Tournament
- Teams will be randomized once entrants have filled up completely
ANNIHILATOR:
- 16 bots will compete
- Middleweights only
- There will be four rumble qualifiers, the winners will advance to the final rumble.
- The winning robots will then advance to an annihilator style elimination tournament
- When one bot is eliminated, then the fight will end, and advance until there is one bot left standing
CIVIL WAR:
- 16 Bots will compete
- Heavyweights only
- 1 vs 1 matches
- Entrants will choose their side when they sign up for this event
- The order of which bot will fight first and last will be randomized
- Whoever wins their team and battle will continue to fight, and the loser will be swapped out with another bot from that team
- If you are still confused on how this works, then look at a
Crew Battle from Smash as an example of the format
Grudge Melees:- These will be special exhibition battles that I will do for fun at the end of the main tournament.
- One melee suggestion per member.
- Three to four bots per melee.
- There will be no judge's scorecard at the end of these matches (You decide who won really).
- Give a specific reason or title on why you would like to see this match become a reality.
- I will allow a maximum of eight melees with a specific date on the cutoff point.
My (possible) Entries:
Lastly, The prize I have planned is to give the arena, a tournament event for Team HQ, and the entire lineup of bots in an AI pack for the champions of each division. Side event winners will be allowed to choose a specific weightclass of bots as their prize.
Just to clear this up, this will not be starting up so quickly. I'm only putting this up here so that you have time to build your bot(s) and send them to me when the tournament gets off the ground. That, and I have the Retooled bracket of GTMCS done. I do plan on having signups for entrants be open for about two weeks (one for your primary entries, and the other for your secondary entries). I'll give a notice in advance when I plan on opening them. This way you know when they open and close in adance, and prepare.
Any suggestions?
