the new tournament rules are that someone can only be added to the list once they have sent a robot, this is to avoid situations of a tournament being full but not able to start because someone is late with an entry

10 days is a very tiny amount of time for people to put something together and get it in, you have been quite lucky to get the amount you have on such a strict time schedule... perhaps you need to extend a little longer so you can get the bracket filled

Raw 2 build time - 1 month 7 days

CC2 build time - 1 month

BBEANS 5 rules, arena, etc announced 2 months before registration

see what I mean ?

That thinking is logical, but you haven't refered to a far-reaching range of tournies - they're all quite competitive aren't they? The higher prestige ones, the ones that people want to win. Especially BBEANS.

What about N00b Warz? The atmosphere in the tourney topic alone is much more relaxed.
.. My date-to-date counting is poor but it was around 17~18 days for NW2. Suppose it still supports your request to give more time to build, as totally casual, no skill tournies still have longer reg periods.

not to mention there was no real "build time" for n00b warz since everyone should have had there entry or know exactly what they needed to build

doomed bots and 1vs2 also had at least a month building period

all im saying is I know your eager to start but pressuring people like this isn't going to work out as well, you need something like 4 more entrys in 2 days
