Hi Gametechmods, after a failed tournament attempt over two years ago, i've re-evaluated what I need to do, and am now completely confident I can host, AI and film an entry level Tournament. So without further ado, I'll present:

That's right, a tag team tournament, but because I know how great everyone is at collaborating, one person will enter two bots, to work together.
Rules
1. Each competitor must enter 2 robots, the combined weight of the two robots must not exceed 800 lbs. 800 kg!
2. Standard DSL building rules apply (no bfe/aam/hax/you know what these are) or cheatbot NAR ai only parts etc.
3. While each bot may be completely different, they must have a similar paint job for the audience to tell who is on who's team
4. Matches will be held in a re-skinned DSL Tournament Arena, and will last 3 minutes, each team gets one havok restart per match, and is then disqualified

5. I must receive both robots simultaneously, so I can confirm their combined weight is legal
6. If I do AI your bot, it will be with a standard AI for the bot type, and not altered in a drastic way, if you want a more sophisticated AI, please supply your bindings/.py/tactics
7. Rounds will be a team vs. team single elimination bracket, with a third place match.
8. This will be a fairly short tournament, I'm only going to allow 8 entrants, and thus will not be entering, if you're interested, please say so, and send me your robots ASAP, first come first serve. If you wish to make changes, and there is a waiting list, I will be forced to cede your spot to the next in line, so do make sure your robots are complete before sending.
9. All Robots must show controlled movement
10. There will be no losers bracket this time around, matches are single elimination, except in the case of the semi's where the losers will face off for third place.
11. DSL realistic rule still applies, NOT IRL (if you want to make your bot IRL style that is fine but it is not a requirement)
Prizes
1. First prize wins a guaranteed entry to any future tournaments I may host
2. Afterwards there will be bragging rights prizes for, SFTW, Best Engineered and TTTSHDBBDDTBL(Team that totally should have...)
Sign Ups
Recieved I will be filling up the brackets on a first come first serve, and checking the times of my private messages if i receive more entries than the alotted 8
Approved Once your spot is green, you are locked in, if you make changes though, you will lose your spot to the next in line
Problem (Stated in Brackets) If your spot is red, it is forfeit to the next applicant
AI'd and ready to go Beige should mean you are done making changes.
