[cephalopod]

Just as a quick note, you'll have to show your entry in the above post before this goes to signups. :)

[Merrick]

I'll be entering.

[Probably Rob]

I'm actually annoyed, I just made a robot, but it's heavyweight. Even on the lightest armour, it's still heavyweight!

[helloface]

Is this the Tournament #1 arena, or #2?
(the one with the big spikes or the ones with the discs)

[MassimoV]

Yeah, I'll enter.

[Mr. AS]

just so you know, multibots dont really work with 3 competitors. even if you have 1 team be the multibot, and the other team be the other 2 competitors, the MWs will just gang up on the multibots.

I believe the term is 'challenge accepted'.

With the discs.

[helloface]

Isn't this basically Rob's tourney then?
(either way I'm entering, but still it could use some variety)

[Hydro]

Sounds fun. Would love to enter, but there are issues on my end.

[Probably Rob]

Yes! Huzzah! I think I have finally made an entry!

[Merrick]

Isn't this basically Rob's tourney then?
(either way I'm entering, but still it could use some variety)

Not at all.

Kurt has come up with his own (as far as I know, unique) format for the battles which he posted in the discussion thread, and evidently had enough good feedback for him to start it up.

How many tournaments have 15 robots in? 

[Philippa]

Changed the rule regarding multibots, they are now banned.

The brackets are cool, but imo other than that it's basically Rob's tourney.

[Probably Rob]

Y'know, I probably wasn't the first guy to use the format. Just enjoy the tournament.

[Badnik96]

so why do maz and rob get reserved spots again?

[helloface]

It says they expressed an interest.

either way I'm entering

*cough cough*

[Merrick]

so why do maz and rob get reserved spots again?

I sucked him off in a back alley behind a bar in Vegas a couple years back.

...

But yeah, expressing interest doesn't usually mean a reserved spot, Kurt? 

[Probably Rob]

And also, I'm not Mass'.
