Title: Around the World 2
Post by: Mr. AS on April 26, 2013, 10:16:07 PM

Stock MW (you should know what stock means)

GENERAL RULES
-No BFE, AAM, Hax Mode, cheatbot2, Thyrus Glitch, Text Editing... etc
-Any and every non-cheatbot2 component included with the 1.4 version of stock is 100% legal, this includes the 140cm extenders, all AI parts, and the snapper II
-Your bot must have 2 (or more) powered wheels and show some sort of controlled movement (i will be testing for this)
-Failing the controlled movement test will result in your current entry being rejected, you must replace your entry after with something more stable/controlled.
-All robots must fall within a 10kg range of the weight limit (388.9-398.9 or 399 if the game still displays it as a mw)
-Smartzones do not count as weight if it pushes your robot above the weight limit.
-Once accepted, you are allowed to update/change your entry ONCE and only ONCE.
-Any obvious attempts to counteract or otherwise exploit a loophole in the rules will be automatically DQ'd.
-All of the bots entered will become a part in ASAI. As such, I would PREFER if you sent in a quality bot, but I will not stop you from sending what you please.
-Jokebots will be shot on sight however.
HAVOK RULES:
-Occasional, minor havok is counted as controlled movement as long as it is not constant (i.e. you cannot turn without going airborne).
-If your bot is suspected of causing a game-altering havok, it will get a strike (indicated by a X in the corner of the video)
-"Game altering havoks" count as: flipping any bot upside down or OOTA, crashing the game, or generally any havok that majorly changes the outcome of the match.
-After this strike, any further game altering havoks during the match will result in losing 1 match (automatic 3rd place in round 1) for each havok.

-There will be a maximum of 24 entries. (4 AI teams of 6)
-My entry will be Tinsilation*
(http://i.imgur.com/pcSUEwM.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/XEFfjPJ.jpg)
-I will only enter if there are leftover spaces after signups have closed.
-If there are still empty spots after I enter the rest of the spots will be filled with a byebot. (hint: its a mw version of flip test dummy)

-The arena will be RANDOMLY SELECTED EVERY MATCH (with hazards on). Some arenas will be excluded (such as the ant late-night rumble, the race course ring arena, etc), but some that are included will require more mobility to traverse them than others (such as the bridge of doom or the black hole space arena), this means that you will have to balance the weight put into weapons and weight into mobility.
-The list of arenas is:
(note: Epic Showdown will be used in the finals)
-Each match will last a maximum of 2 minutes.

--The brackets will go something like this:
-Round 1 will have 8 heats of 3 bots (single matches), the winner of each match will go to a winners bracket, the runner up to a losers bracket, and last place eliminated immediately.
-In round 2, bots in the winners bracket will face bots in the winners bracket (same with losers) in 4 battles of 2, and it will operate like a basic double elimination tourney (with best 2 out of 3 matches) from there until the finals.
-Finals will be 1 v 1, best 3 out of 5 the final match will be a single best 3/5 match, basic double elimination rules do NOT apply in the finals.
-Venko is allowed to enter 2 bots for winning Around the World 1
-Venko, Badnik96, Ianh05, and 090901 all have 1 automatic entry reserved for placing in the top 4 in Around The World 1

Should you do well in this tourney, they will receive:
The final 8 will be in a after-tourney rumble. The winner of a rumble will get a few exclusive decals (yippee...?) and the glory of winning.
The runner up will get all of the robots entered in the tourney+the AI to look at and mess with in addition to the previous prize.
The winner will get 2 entries in the next Around the World (only one spot will be reserved however) in addition to the previous prizes.

There will be a DSL LW portion to the tourney as well.
The rules are exactly the same, rotating arenas and all, EXCEPT
-Stock AI parts are not allowed as they are not included in DSL. Use only vainilla DSL components.
-All bots must adhere to dsl standard realism.
-All bots must also fall within a 10kg range of the weight limit (238.9-248.9)
-My entry to this section of the tourney will be EBN2
(http://i.imgur.com/R3FSD.jpg)
-Any reserved spots earned from this will be for any future DSL portions and NOT the main stock portion.
-These bots will not be included in ASAI for obvious reasons.

Green = AI'd and ready
Blue = Received, but not yet looked at
Red = Infringes a rule (reason will be given next to their name on the list)

You dont state in the rules that bots have to be good.
they don't. you just have to at least TRY to make them good. the reason i mentioned LOL FAIL is because i highly doubt  put any effort into that bot.

also, recieved lightning S' entry.
Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: Mr. AS on September 07, 2013, 04:34:43 PM

Title: Re: Around the World 2

Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: RpJk on September 26, 2013, 05:37:38 PM
OK I'm starting to get really annoyed of the lack of entries here cause I would have expected at least double the entries of what we have now.
Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: Mr. AS on September 27, 2013, 07:19:40 PM
signups are now *officially* closed. got 3 last-minute entries, 1 from mystic and 2 surprise entries from venko. expect the splash and bracket thread to be up in a few days.
Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: Fracture on September 27, 2013, 07:56:56 PM
and 2 surprise entries from venko.
wow
Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: rnifnuf on September 27, 2013, 08:58:23 PM
Well, I've pretty much already lost XD

But, hey, it's my first tournament. I can't expect to win it with Venko and Ianh05 entering two bots.

Good luck to DS, LSII, and all of their opponents.
Title: Re: Around the World 2
Post by: playzooki on September 28, 2013, 11:10:57 AM
and 2 surprise entries from venko.
wow
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Also, just realized the SERIOUS lack of entries. So for the first time ever, I WILL BE IN THE TOP 6. Even though i am the king of SFTWs.
