Title: BLOODSHEDDING BOTS

Alright yes I believe it is time I make a tournament.

Rules

• Ironforge 1.0
• Realism Standard
• I was thinking about the Ironforge Middleweight class which is 200kg
• No one's bot will be entered until you have submitted it and I have accepted it
• 16 Contestants, no wild cards
• 1 bots per person, may change later if needed
• If we do not reach 16 Competitors I will provide Bye-Bots
• No Custom Components
• You can use BFE for changing the Chassis but nothing else :) so no out of game editing
• All in-game glitches are legal BUT HAX MODE
• No Popups - very open for discussion Popups are allowed as long as the moving parts dont go through any batteries wheels motors etc.
• Unable to do Clusterbots as I have a 4 way melee at the start
• 3 Minute Matches
• Bots can be changed up until the date of the tournament, however nothing major, only minor changes
• I will restart the match if a robot Havoc's once, however if it happens a second time in the Tournament that robot will be DQ'd
• I can AI the bots, but if you would like to do so yourself you can.
• Here is my real entry, not a bye-bot

Format
Heats

A 4 Way Melee, where the top two robots go through

Qualifying/Elimination

The 8 Robots that qualify are put into a ranking system, with the winners being ranked 1-4th and the 2nd places being 5th to 8th. Then the 1st on the ladder plays the 4th, 2nd plays 3rd. The winner of those matches get a bye while the losers get a 2nd chance. Meanwhile when 5th plays 8th and 6th plays 7th, the losers are eliminated and the winners play the losers of 1-4 the next round

Semi Finals

The semi finals are the losers of 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd matches and the winners of the 5th v 8th and 6th v 7th playing

Preliminary Finals

The Prelimary Finals see the winners of the top 4 matches playing the bots who have gotten through the semi finals

GRAND FINAL

The grand final is the easiest to understand. It's the two winners of the Preliminary Finals playing.

If None of that made sense I Hope this Helps

If it still doesnt make sense I will try again later in the thread.

Alright everything is open for discussion but the format.

the rules seem OK with one exception... we can AI our bots right ?

What style of building is this going for? Ironforge standard would be pretty awesome. You may want to limit entries per person for now though, otherwise it's possible only 6 people will be able to enter. You can always open secondary signups if you've not got enough entries.

Yes, standard ironforge is what I'm aiming for.

Awesome, I'm pretty pumped about this one.

Interesting. I might enter. One question though: If you're aiming for Ironforge Standard, then why eliminate the realistic rule? (Keep in mind I'm not too familiar with Ironforge.)

I'm not having the Realistic rule because I didn't want to limit people on their bots.
However if you guys reckon that including the realistic rule would be better I would consider it.

Your bot uses custom component forward hinge flippers. What weight are they, what is their power, etc.

I wish.
It's using the DDT burst motor.
It's about 1/3rd up the chassis.

Your flipper is cutting through the batteries, you need to sort that out, but damn that is good.

well its open for discussion.
Do lots of people want Pop-Ups?
If so I'll allow them :)

Usual Standard ruleset indicates the Standard Realism Rules, eg no stacking (like you'd get in Stock) and no moving parts going through anything else (for example the flipper and your batteries, or a spinning blade through it's own motor). What are allowed are parts that could be welded together, like razors being very close on a popup rack (not to say popups should or shouldn't be allowed, just an example).

are you making ironforge standard or ironforge unrealistic ?

Title: Re: BLOODSHEDDING BOTS
Post by: P3PSl on January 20, 2015, 08:53:19 AM

I've decided to change it to standard.
I hope that's okay and not causing anyone any inconvenience.

Irl, Or DSL-S style?

Title: Re: BLOODSHEDDING BOTS
Post by: cephalopod on January 20, 2015, 09:22:49 AM

He said Standard, so I'm taking that as DSL-S...
(P3PSI, if you want a guide of what Standard entails, check here (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=12002))

Title: Re: BLOODSHEDDING BOTS
Post by: P3PSl on January 20, 2015, 03:59:01 PM

Yeah, DSL S style.
Sorry for the confusion.

What weight class?

Edit: Nevermind. Found it. Might want to put that closer to the top of the list of rules.
