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

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.

Oh well this is for the next tourneys discussion thread not this one. So I'm not gonna worry to much about it much til then

That's what you get for saying I'm whining

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?

powerrave · « **Reply #266 on:** December 04, 2011, 09:56:44 AM »

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

NFX · « **Reply #267 on:** December 04, 2011, 09:59:57 AM »

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.

Hahaha. Bravo Freeziez!

Your tournaments are so popular it is controversial. XD

martymidget · « **Reply #269 on:** December 04, 2011, 10:17:41 AM »

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 :/

freeziez · « **Reply #270 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:24:57 AM »

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.

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.

DP

Topic unlocked.

Shame DSC couldn't make the HW though, really liked his bot.

Thyrus · « **Reply #272 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:38:47 AM »

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

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #273 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:39:21 AM »

Wow, bumped out of HW.
That was my best bot D:
Anyway, what's the rules on replacing bots?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #274 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:39:37 AM »

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

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

As in sending updates?

Well that sucks, I was planning on revenge against Ryu Kishin.

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?

Unless you've gotten amazingly better overnight, or I see not much chance in that =P

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