Author Topic: BBEANS6 Signups will open... (Read 25541 times)

Clickbeetle · « **on:** January 31, 2010, 07:30:19 PM »

...on APRIL 3.

(Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such as work commitments and the like. I reserve the right to postpone signups to a more convenient time if the need arises.)

ENTRIES RECEIVED BEFORE APRIL 3 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. If I get bots before signups officially open, I will just delete them from my inbox and you'll have to re-send your entry.

I'm announcing BBEANS6 several months in advance in order to give everyone ample time to get a bot ready and plan on when to check the forums for signups. Registration is, as always, on a first come first serve basis. So now you have no excuse for letting the bracket fill up and missing out.

Tournament Rules:
First, familiarize yourself with the General Rules for All Tournaments.

The weight class is DSL LIGHTWEIGHT.

The arena is the BBEANS TOURNAMENT ARENA V2.

REALISTIC RULE applies. You should all be familiar with this by now.

Tournament format is 64 BOTS, DOUBLE ELIMINATION, 2 MINUTE MATCHES.

Prizes consist of the usual prize components. The Champion gets the Champion's Sword plus one other component of their choice, the runner-up, the rumble winner, and each bonus award winner gets one component of their choice.

I think that covers everything you need to know. So get building!

Can't wait.

Well lets hope that this actually gets people building. I was hoping this wasn`t another April Fools joke. I will make sure to get building and testing. I am NOT going to get caught off guard like a few people in BBEANS 5. *cough* most of the vets who wait until the last day to build something *cough*

This is probably the only time anybody here will see me compete in a DSL tournament.

My bot has been ready for a long time. I need to tune its AI to perfection...

Would the signups start at 00:00 Central Time?

I want to enter, but I don't really want to build something competitive... Maybe I can come up with something odd.

Also, 32-bot tourneys are a lot less work than 64-bot tourneys and will get done faster, which is always a plus.

I understand this much more clearly now than ever before! As it looks like TAR will have a full 16 entrants(or more) all with 3 or more bots = 48 bots at minimun!

32 will be interesting...

41 entered CC3 which was just about every single active DSL builder

going to have to be fast :O

This may be my first serious attempt at a tourney.

Stagfish · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:50:10 AM »

i will not win but who cares

RedSawn · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:07:46 AM »

This better not fill up overnight like when I tried to sign up for NW2. I've had my bot ready for 3 or 4 months.

cephalopod · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:08:26 AM »

Sounds good to me, I have some ideas in mind... :D

And I agree with Red. If it fills up and I'm not around, I'll have one

of a FUUUU moment

Luckily It opens the day after the end of school term for me.

G.K. · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:10:17 AM »

^And me^^

I always get up at 6:00 GMT anyway, which apparently is 0:00 in Minnesota, which according to Sage is where Click lives.
