Back to the Roots - Signups
« on: February 13, 2016, 02:07:58 PM »
Oh hey, it's the edgiest GTMer trying to host a tourney again, and well, Throwback Throwdown gave me the idea of making a stock tourney whose point was to go back to when the game was released and when stock was at it's very start, a trip back to the roots.

Tourney information:
Stock MW
Combat Arena
Any BFE/Hax Mode and other wizardry will be banned
Single Elimination Brackets
16 entrants
Best out of 3
Havok will lead to restart
I will enter with this little fella:

Building Restrictions:
Snapper Loading and Stacking of any form is banned
HS/SnS hybrids aren't allowed
Overlapping can only be done on servos (by that i mean putting motors inside batteries and stuff)
Effe glitch is banned
Popups can use max 4 razors as weapons but can't use ramplates as armor or burst wedges
caster armor is banned
Blue Snapper is banned
140 cm square AND red extender are banned
HS can only have maximum 2 weapons per weapon head (like for instance, you can't have 3 spikes on one end of a tribar)

Basically, this tournament is supposed to be oldschool stock a.k.a. Jimxorb stock, BBEANS 1 stock, or Starcore 1-2 level stock. So we nerfed HS and popups, which are the most dominant forces in the metagame.

I wonder if rammers need a nerf ?

I hope you don't mind me asking this, but did you want a logo to go with it?  I mean, I guess it doesn't matter much, but it could make this tourney stick out more.

Oh I'm extremely interested in this.  Don't worry, I'll come up with something.

I think you need a poll with about 8 "yes" votes to move this on.

I don't feel like the question is worded properly. If one were to not want to enter but they believed that people would enter this tournament, they would say 'yes'. That doesn't mean that person is interested in entering, though.

Like this (ignore the snapper-loaded ramplates) :
