This is an unusual tournament.
Tournament Structure:
There are no brackets for the first two rounds:
Round One
There will be 4 groups (where by all the entries will be randomly distributed evenly throughout, with four robots in each group).
In each group, these bots will be randomly given a number that relates to their order of the cycle.
First, the first and second bot in the cycle will fight in a match (single round).
Second, the next bot in the cycle replaces the loser, and another match ensues.
This continues in each group until a bot wins 3 times consecutively, whereby this bot qualifies for round two and is taken out of the cycle.
In this case, the loser is still replaced with the next bot in the cycle, but the winner is replaced too.
This continues until two of the bots have qualified, or after one less of the number of bots left in the cycle matches of no bot qualifying, the bot(s) with the highest wins in total will qualify. (If there are two or more bots with the same number and only one space remaining , a match between them will ensue and the winner gets the slot.)
Round Two
Same as round one, but the robots are re-assigned a group randomly and evenly (with four bots in each group); only two entries of each group will go through to the final.
Finals
Winner of two matches is the champion. Matches are 3 of 5.
Restrictions:
Stock
LW
No multibots
No BFE, AAM.
All glitches allowed.
All bots entered must have at least one red extender of any size in/on/attached/etc
Small havoks are ignored, large havoks (ones that fling your bot OOTA or make your bot trapped into the floor/walls etc.) will deem a restart. If another large havok happens, after this it is ignored, i.e. only one havok restart per match.
Arena:
RAT#2 Tournament Arena with hazards ON

TRAP. (These Rules Are Permanent.)
-
I'll enter. If it's Stock, that's good enough for me!
-
I'm gonna enter. ;)
-
I need a good reason to make a bot in Stock. I'm totally in.
-
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU red extender.
but okay i'll probably build something
-
I'm entering. I've been waiting too long to enter a Stock LW tournament.
-
Sent my bot.
-
Where do we send our bots? Through PM?
-

Yes.
-
Makin' a popup of sorts...
-
Sent a rammer. :trollface
-
It's 9 maces HS time!
-
I'll be sending in something soon.
-
Entry sent. Hoping I'll do pretty well. =]
-
Entering a 9 razored bot!
-
Entering a 9 razored bot!
You know it's a BAD idea to tell what your bot is...
-
Resent my bot...for about the 12th time. I'll bet you it's the red extenders that are the problem.
-
What's the difference between red and black extender? Except the colour?
-
Troll factor, of course. Only one of these extenders can troll Sage. :P
-
Precisely. Plus they look 60% less awesome. Bit of a pointless rule, I reckon.
-
Can we send updates?
-
imma build something
-
you can send one update before signups are closed.
-
when do bots have to be in
-
hopefully when i get 16, if it's taking too long i'll set a date.
-
I take it I haven't used any updates at all?
-
correct
-
Have you tried giving my bot an AI line yet?
-
Hmmm... Judging by the bot exchange, Badnik had entered a less efficient version of my bot... (Seriously 3 pinks?!?), Enigma has entered a slow popup that does have a powerful weapon though and NFX crashes my game but looks like it doesn't have enough maces....
EDIT: And Pwn's entering a fast popup that looks deadly!
(This is all just assumptions)
-
My bot is pretty durable, though. And it's reasonably damaging as well. Pretty good all-rounder, I reckon I could do quite well.
-
BUMP
hopefulley i'll sent my bot in tonight :gunz:
-
Bump?
...dude, it's only been 2 days. :P
-
Oh god I forgot.
*sends*
-
i'll enter, but i'm having problems with Stock A.T.M, so can u save me a spot?
-
ohya i should build something
-
i'll enter, but i'm having problems with Stock A.T.M, so can u save me a spot?
Sorry, i don't do reservations.

Dragonfire doesn't do reservation... but if he did, they'd be the best reservations in the world!
-
Bot sent. Been a long time since I made a decent LW Stock bot.

if that's what you wanted to make you are going to be pissed when you see my bot
-
if you built the same thing without AGOD ima quit RA2
-
Ugh, I couldn't come up with anything exceptional, so I just sent the best thing that I had.

Disdain V rebuild/clone? lol
-
Ok thank you guys, got sixteen entrants now! Sorry to those who were thinking of participating!
Participants have until Friday 22nd April 11:59 GMT to send updates or bindings.
NOTE: Even if I have already AI'd your bot, you can send your own bindings to replace mine if you see fit to.
-
Can I change my bot completely? My original bot's too sucky for my tastes :s
-
yep, that counts as one of your updates.
-
Hey Sage,
I'm sorry to say that you sent your entry twelve minutes too late (Ounce beat you to it). Though I give my thanks for your willingness to participate, even with your hatred of the red extenders.
Commiserations,
DF

SAGE!!!!
-
Oh, that's such a shame for ol' Sage to miss out like that...What if his bot had a match against the eventual champion, just for the lols?
-
My bot is just a old bot of mine that prob won't even do that good.
Now, i must test it against Natural Born Killer to see if i should send that instead .
-
I wanted to enter but my entry is being used for
the Bo umm something else... :P
-
Mine's probably gonna end up being in Enigma AI because I've ran out of ideas.
-
...Is Clickbeetle trolling us?
-
...Signups already full?
...
...
...
Oh man... *over 9000 swearwords*
-
...Is Clickbeetle trolling us?
I know how to solve the problem one way, but I'll wait and see if he responds if he wants to solve the problem a different way.
-
DP:
25 hours left to get your AI and/or updates in!
-
aww fudge
expect something from me tomorrow morning

Sorry for being away longer than usual, I was gone over the weekend up north doing bee work. (It's that time of year again when they start coming out.)
Apparently the Rammer AI v3 doesn't work on Dragonfire's computer. Can anyone else test it? Get it from my RA2 downloads page http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm) and just make sure it doesn't crash your game. I've never heard of it crashing anyone's game...
(If this doesn't work my bot will just use the old v2 Rammer AI which is somewhat worse but will at least keep the front of the bot pointing the right way.)

OK, the windows for updates and AI bindings are now closed! All updates or AI sent will be invalid and won't be applied!

Awesome. =] Hopefully my machine'll do quite well.
