Title: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dragonfire on February 16, 2011, 08:23:39 AM
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

Well then you should have been around December 2009. That was the last Stock AW tourney.

Post by: Dragonfire on February 17, 2011, 12:48:40 AM
Notice - the rules changed to Stock LW

AE2 WILL PWN YET AGAIN

Oh wait....booo it's realistic. IDK might enter but I got no ideas

Post by: G.K. on February 17, 2011, 10:09:40 AM
I'll happily enter anyway, but I'd have preferred it to be DSL HW.

EDIT: Owait it's realistic? D:
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dragonfire on February 17, 2011, 10:29:14 AM
hey guys, forgot to remove the realism constraint :S
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Naryar on February 17, 2011, 11:25:42 AM
So it is realistic ? Hmm, depends what you call realistic at stock LW level...
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dragonfire on February 17, 2011, 12:32:00 PM
no, it isn't realistic anymore - I just forgot to remove the constraint when I was modifying the class.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons

Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons

Excellent.

Zaphod Stock will have its revenge on AE2!
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dragonfire on February 17, 2011, 12:53:12 PM
I will finalize if no-one has spotted anything unfair with the rules? (but not the competition class)

And you lost my interest. And Naryar's. Again. Probably.

Post by: Dragonfire on February 17, 2011, 01:14:51 PM
I'm sorry to hear that but well, you can't please everybody; "a good compromise makes everyone angry".
Perhaps next time.

 BTW: New constraint: all bots entered must have at least one red extender of any size in/on/attached/etc.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Reier on February 17, 2011, 01:22:18 PM
rahggjdgaskjhdgajhsdgjas now I have to change all my black extenders to red ;p
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Badnik96 on February 17, 2011, 02:09:30 PM
Stock LW???

I suck at stock LW. And I was interested in this too... Maybe Stock MW or something? Then I can enter Arcade 2 >=)
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Reier on February 17, 2011, 03:04:03 PM
Just keep stock LW. All this changing is making my head spin.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: NFX on February 17, 2011, 04:48:24 PM
Yay. =D I am totally entering Death By Purple 3 for this.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Badnik96 on February 17, 2011, 05:02:32 PM
Oh, fine.

*decides to enter generic HS #2356 that will probably lose considering it only has 6 maces*

Hmmmm, i wonder if I still have my infection series somewhere....
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: JoeBlo on February 17, 2011, 07:28:19 PM
Just leave the class as is.. there is plenty of DSL tournaments for the realistic fanboy's no need for everything tournament to be realistic
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dragonfire on February 18, 2011, 04:21:29 AM
Ok, rules have been finalised; Stock LW class and also REMEMBER: all bots must have at least one red extender of any size!

Might enter a popup actually. Bugging 027 about entering one of his bots for this.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: NFX on February 18, 2011, 04:23:17 PM
A LW Popup? Probably won't perform too well, but it'd be nice to give it a try.

And now you lost Sage's interest. :P


I may enter though, if signups don't fill up too fast.

No, it's about those who dominate dragons, which means i have to enter with a Fluttershy bot.

Should accept only dragon-themed bots.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons

We should get RFS back. He'd probably like it if it was dragon-themed.

Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Hard Bot on February 25, 2011, 04:13:02 PM
But Kill 4 has the ability to K-O FIXXXER.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Badnik96 on February 25, 2011, 06:35:55 PM
FIXXXER is 4 years old. AKA it sucks compared to todays standards. AKA you have no proof that it's good.

Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: Dexterhunter on February 26, 2011, 02:15:09 AM
I'll be entering this. I might re-make one of my favorite robots for this tourney, or build something completely new from the ground up. You'll have to wait and see.
Title: Re: Dominator of Dragons
Post by: System32 on February 26, 2011, 03:52:40 PM
Screw it, It looks like this will probably be the last stock tournament in Allah knows, so I guess I'll probably enter it if I get a chance.
 
Also, is the fact you guys don't even consider the idea of a stock realistic tournament  just the communities peer pressure (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComplacentGamingSyndrome) or fear of having a whole new situation in-game to master? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComplacentGamingSyndrome)
