REVISION!

I am quite aware of the number of issues that revolved around building non damaging bots in DSL and to be honest, they did end up to become a bit of a bore. Therefore, this season, I have decided to change the rules completely (and will update the website respectively). This season, ELBITE will still require it's ELBITERS to make three bots to compete, but instead, each person will organize those bots into one team. This speeds up the organization process on my part and on your part as well. Also this time around, all three of the tournaments will be DEATHMATCHES, but in each tournament, you will get to choose which bot you would like to compete for your team. Remember, You will now be creating a team for three of your DSL-BUILT DAMAGING BOTS which will each be put into a separate tournament. Sounds good? Good.
 
THE RULES AT A GLANCE (Not following these rules will risk you your entry into the Super Tournament) These rules apply to ALL 3 Tournaments

• Weightclass this season: MW
• Gametype: DSL
• Tournaments: 3 Deathmatch Tournaments + 1 Final Match
• Building Rules/Mission: Build 3 Damaging bots, Create a team for them (TEAM NAME IS A MUST), compete and win!
• More about driving (In addition to the building rules stated here): Bot's that are unable to drive straight; see driving test in BBEANS, are not allowed. Bot's MUST ATLEAST be mobile in turning Left/Right and driving Forward/Backwards. Bots that sway a little so as it doesn't affect their driving path is OK, no bot has a perfect driving system, but bots that "circle" for example are NOT OK.
• Number of revisions to bots: 1 for each bot made respectively. BOTS MUST BE ORIGINAL TO EACH OTHER. Bot's that look EXACTLY like each other will be confusing for Robot Arena to recognize, and me too. Give your bots different names as well so I can differentiate between them.
• Arenas used: 3 Different OOTA style Arenas TBA. I REALLY CAN USE HELP WITH THIS ONE. Still can't build custom arenas but I am able to skin and render.
• Prizes:

          -1st Place Prize: + Fire Badge + Gold Ticket

        -2nd Place Prize: TBA

           -3rd Place Prize: TBA

• Gold Tickets: Gold Tickets are given to the winner of each tournament, therefore, a single team could win more than one ticket. These tickets could be used in your sig, and will grant you VIP access to ESIS (TBA what that is about in the future!). I will add more rules when I see fit.
   
• Number of Entrants Allowed: The ELBITE Super Tournament is an Elite Competition. Due to the lack of a Loser's bracket and the unique quality of having 3 Tournaments in event, we will only be accepting 32 entrants. This means that 32 entrants x 3 Tournaments = 96 Possible match ups, not counting the matches when your team bots go against each other which will not be allowed. If you do become matched up with one of your own bots, there are a number of things that one could consider.

-Multibots: Multibots are indeed allowed. Just keep in mind that They would still count as one bot.
-Choice Tags: If by the rare occurrence that more than one your bot ends up in the finals. Both of your bots will get a Choice Tag Before your match even continues. A Choice Tag is a little red tag that will be placed on your bots entry pictures indicating that you must choose one of them in order to continue. The empty space left by the bot that was not chosen will become a number of things:

            -It will turn into a ByeBot of which the other competitor will go up against. For more on ELBITE's ByeBots, check out my website and related links.   
            -The empty space will turn into the In Queue competitor in the waiting list. This is ONLY if that competitor has won an ELBITE Badge before (Badges must be PM'd to me as proof).   
            -Move up the previous contender.

And now, here are the SEASON 1 ELBITERS! Round of applause for winning a tough spot to compete in ELBITE!

(Remember to state your team name when you submit if you want to apply)

RED indicates ELBITERS who plan to attend. ORANGE indicates submitted teams undergoing validation. GREEN indicated Teams are well validated for entry in the tournament. Keep in mind that due to gametech's new rules on Tournaments, The names in red will be replaced by entrants who submit their team and bots. 

NOTE: Messages in PURPLE tell you what you need to correct or missed in your entry.

Become the ELITE... ELBITE Super Tournament Season 1 - 2010

[Jonzu95]

Ooh... Interesting...

[Naryar]

So the 3 bots can have different chassis and weapon setups, or is it like the original ELBITE ?

[Gigafrost]

They can have different chassis and weapon setups this time around. This is because you are making an entire team and are not just limited to one design. The only restriction is that you must identify each bot individually. So MAKE SURE that they all have different names. Keep in mind that my website is old. I have to change the rules respectively. So essentially you are creating 3 robots, but if you have the ability to use just one chassis design and make 3 different bots from it, by all means do it.

[Thyrus]

so you can name them: What, the & fu**
but not Giga 1, Giga 2 & Giga 3?

[Gigafrost]

Both of those would work. Refer to this example.

Lets say someone submits their team bots, Their Team is called Team Slapbots for example:

NOT ACCEPTABLE (Unable to differenciate between the bots)
SLAPBOT -For Tournament 1
SLAPBOT -For Tournament 2
SLAPBOT -For Tournament 3

ACCEPTABLE (Shows distinction even through simple numbers. However, I prefer some more originality)
SLAPBOT1 - For Tournament 1
SLAPBOT2 - For Tournament 2
SLAPBOT3 - For Tournament 3

VERY ACCEPTABLE (Names are Unique, and distinct. It's easy for me to tell the difference when I open up your Team Folder)
SLAPBOT - For Tournament 1
SPINBOT - For Tournament 2
FLIPBOT - For Tournament 3

[Naryar]

Most original name ever !

(Yes, i know it's an example :P)

[JoeBlo]

same kinda rule I had in CC, if your multibots were different weight they needed some way of telling apart...

[Thyrus]

so are teams allowed? for example Joe teames up with Craaig again?

[G.K.]

Argh! DSL MW again! I'll sort out some stuff ASAP.

[Somebody]

Me is to be so in. Expect bots, not sure when though, probably this weekend.

"More about driving (In addition to the building rules stated here): Bot's that are unable to drive straight; see driving test in BBEANS, are not allowed.

Bots that sway a little so as it doesn't affect their driving path is OK, no bot has a perfect driving system, but bots that "circle" for example are NOT OK." Thats too bad because i was going to enter Nary's favorite bot type . I really like this idea for a tournament I got a few MW's already built and would like to make one with a flamethrower for entry .

[Badnik96]

I will enter. Expect some awesome stuff soon.

[cephalopod]

Sounds... interesting... not sure I have any DSL MW lying around at the moment but that can be changed :P

[Pwnator]

Hahaha I've got the perfect team name for this. XD

When i saw your post i was really thinking "GAH he'll enter a crawler again"

If you want help on building a flame bot i'm here 

And that is a good idea really. Red Drake V, anyone ?

[TeamXtreemer]

I think this tournament will be fun.

[Gigafrost]

Something to note:

elbite.gametechmods.com as well as the Events logo will be going under a major aesthetic overhaul.

Things to note in term of changes by the end of May-Beginning of April:

-The webpage will be completed, and done almost completely using CSS scripting. Using less code in the creation of the website, the total filesize of the pages will be considerably smaller. This allows more possibilities for the site design as well as speed up its performance. You want the fastest speeds possible when your viewing match videos. Its also easier to deal with your files this way.

-ESIS will be reintroduced. ESIS Stands for ELBITE's Super Information-Based Software (or if your really tech savvy ESIBS). All of your winnings, prizes won, ranking, badges, ribbons, match requests, and more will be included all online. More of this will be discussed on the webpage.

- ELBITE Season's Champion Bot Exchange. Wanna play around with the big guys? After each season, The winning bots of the competitors will be available for download (with their permission of course). The bots will NOT include past won prize weapons used. The creator of the bot will be PM'd to make a "non-special" variation.

-All of the Season's Badge will go under a major overhaul. Details on what it will do is TBA, but let's just say that you will be able to view your badges in real-time on either your desktop or on the ESIS page. Again more will be announced soon enough.

-First, Second, and Third Place Prizes will be announced Soon. I may make a new Controls component or Wheel set... On a side note, after looking through the scarce indexes of my external hardrive. I thought that all of ELBITE was lost... However it seems that I still managed to save the arenas, aaaannnddddd One Very Important Element which will become THE GRAND PRIZE!

-More to announce in the future, this is an exciting event and I hope everyone takes a part in it.

Regards, Gig

[G.K.]

I can't see the video. What is it?

Also, I'm 1 MW away from being ready.

[JoeBlo]

the jagged blade prizes for the original Elbite, awesome
