You could do 96 entries and have 24 entries per weight class, which is about enough IMO.

Shame i didn't get into any other classes...
Seconded.

Which weight class do you want? I'd be happy to let you take one of my spots; it seems a bit unfair I have all four.

Just MW and HW is all I'll need. But are you sure you'd like to do it? I don't really want to end up giving you the boot over it.

smashy, if you drop out, it would be the next to have sent who gets the spot.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

God, this is more convoluted than Wrestlemania 4. All the favourites, like me and GF, are dropping out before we even get started.

Next time, I recommend having 32 bots per weight class.

I'd go with JD's voting system next time.

Here's something confusing me.

When do Signups start for BB5? I've already got all my bots ready.

Probably Dec. 2

Can I send my bots now?

Yes.

Here's my robots. You said I could send them. If there's a problem, lemme know, K?

So, what happened?

There was a discussion about this before, and it was decided that being able to send your entries before signups were open would completely defeat the purpose of a Signups thread. Otherwise everybody would send their entries early.
 
But I think JD's idea is the best one. It would inevitably generate a lot of bawwing as to "WHY WAS MY BOT VOTED OUT AND X WAS VOTED IN YOU ALL SUCK" et cetera, but it would probably be the fairest method to keep the tournament as open as possible. I think what we could do is limit the amount of weight classes people could enter, so all four tournaments aren't filled up with the same 16 people. If there was a limit to three weight classes, that would allow an extra few people to get some entries in.

I mean if you want to do 32 bots per division I am all for it, but I am afraid it would move really slow and a lot of confusion and problems.

Or maybe 24 per bracket. That might be alright.
