BBEANS6 Interest Poll
« on: February 12, 2010, 08:39:02 PM »
All right, here's the deal.


The purpose of this poll is to determine whether to run a 32-bot bracket or a 64-bot bracket.


I'll run the 64-bot bracket if there is good evidence that I will get 64 entries.  What I count as GOOD EVIDENCE is a high number of Option 1 and Option 2 votes.  I'll make a conservative estimate and say I'll get 10 entries from people who don't vote in this poll.  So, what I'm looking for here is somewhere around 50 or so votes for options 1 and 2, with somewhat less weight given to Option 3, but I will still take it into consideration.


YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE ANY TIME so don't feel compelled to vote #1 if you don't actually have a bot ready.  You can update your vote once you do.  If I get a bunch of #1 votes and then I go with the 64-bot bracket and then nobody enters, I won't be very happy.  Please don't do that to me.


Note:  Even if I decide I can get 64 entries, I won't necessarily do a 64-bot tournament.  I'll do it if I can, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.


This is your chance for a bigger tournament, so let me know your status!

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

First I was unsure if I enter cause I don`t want to waste space with another tourney fail bot. but when it`s a 64 tourney I have to choose and modify a robot.

Meh, I got a few LW's lying around. Will probably modify one for this. (But there are a few ideas nagging in the back of my head...)

So, we have 47. If Click wants a full house, then there's 17 more people to go.

I think if we get to 48 though he'll upgrade to the 64 bracket from standard rounding.
Or he could take a more cautious approach with.. 56 bots or something.

it's to bad i can't get my friends into this. they don't want DSL. and the one that does have DSL can barely make a proper robot.
