24 per bracket seems like the most reasonable solution to me, if you're gonna do four weight classes. 32 per bracket, that's 128 robots, and it's going to move extremely slowly. 24 bots per weight class, with some three-way Loser's Melees somewhere down the line, I think. That's how I'd go about it. =) Or seeding, but that might be construed as unfair. We discussed the seeding system earlier, and people didn't seem to like it very much. Because a member might have been successful, but not very IRL, resulting in a higher seeding.

That's good to see- or maybe only seed the top 6 for each bracket or so.

wat

I posted the 24 bracket idea before you  :p

But i would say 24 bracket would be the best idea, 32 entries may not be full (lol it probably will though) and it will take a long time.

That's what you get for saying I'm whining   :approve:
 
Anyway, I propose 24 Brackets, with limited seeding.

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.

Yeah, but...

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

So, how come he didn't let me know?

I can only guess he forgot to reply with all the PMs that he had gotten.

I can only assume he was busy. But it was mentioned in the Discussion thread earlier, that's why I waited until it was moved to the Signups stage.

Bah, knew it was a bad idea posting my bot in the actual thread instead of sending it. So I'm not actually in it :/

Marty and madman's bots were sent in the thread. I got them and approved them, but I forgot to put them in the actual places.

I'll sort it out right now.

Hahaha. Bravo Freeziez!

IRL, if you missed a spot, you wouldn't be complaining, so anyone who missed it needs to suck it up. I might change the brackets next season, but for right now I can't help you guys.

Topic locked until I get the spots sorted.

Just delete a questionably unrealistic bot and put his in their place :trollface

and Ryu-Kishin Powered has to wait another season to enter ;)

I remember Ryu-Kishin, but I could never figure out its bot type.

Yes, I wanted to send in a new MW, but evidently this may be considered unfair.
Also, how far was I out of making it into the HW bracket?

- Everyone has as long as Hard Bot does (till Monday afternoon, my time) to send in updates.
- You were the next spot. :P
