ELBITE Super Tournament - Ideas and discussion
« on: September 30, 2008, 10:40:12 AM »
ELBITE is Now Underway at Gametechmods!
 
Elite bots of the robotic League Battles In Tough matches Exhibition Is a Tournament like no other. This special tournament consists of 3 different types of matches which will decide if you will be the Elite!
 
To take a look at your entry, its stats, strengths and weaknesses, and more log on to:
 
www.elbite.gametechmods.com
 
Info:
The way this works is that there are 3 Tournaments in one, and whoever wins their tournaments will be faced against each other in a final Death Match. All bots will be built based on the Realistic rule and apply to the rules of BBEANS series and cheatbot2 components are restricted. These Event Matches are special in that they will be different every time the Super Tournament comes around. So you will never know what to expect! Also, There will be some nice prizes for those who win 1st, 2nd, and third place. 1st place will however, win the grand prize, along with a special sticker that they will be able to put on their bot. On rare occasions, they will be able to use the grand prize in a special match called a Nostalgia Match. Nostalgia Matches are given at a random date and they give the new winner a chance to battle the previous one for an Elite Badge (details coming soon).
 
Right now there will be 32 bracket slots but it could be changed to 64 and so on if people are more interested in entering than i expect. The entrants will be shuffled through my top hat software only once for each of the three events. This gives you a better chance of winning a tournament in case you have some sort of disadvantage.
 
The following Events for this month is a Tabletop Match, a King of the Hill Match, and a 1 on 1 Death match. I explained the rules for each tournament below. In essence, you will build 1 bot of the required weight class, and alter its WEAPONRY to suit the following tournaments. BATTERIES, BASEPLATE ANCHORS, CONTROL BOARDS, AND ANY THING THAT ISN'T ON AN EXTENDER CANNOT BE MOVED IN ANY OF YOUR BOTS ONCE YOU PLACE THEM, SO BE CAREFUL! You will submit 3 bots total. But it is just the same bot with different weapon alterations. The chassis also cannot be changed BUT the type of armor it has can. Try to think of a chassis style and baseplate setup that works well with all three types of tourneys, since they cannot be changed.
 
 
Tourney Rules: Remember that they all apply to the rules said above as well. Todays weight class for all tournies is DSL MIDDLEWEIGHTS
 
The Deadline for the entries is the end of December! Plenty of time to think of what you are going to do.
 
Table top match rules
Weapons used: Non Damaging (It should have no possible way to hurt the opponent BUT you CAN flip the opponent, despite the fact that it may take damage when it hits the ground)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
 
Info: The tabletop match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a 1 on 1 match and best 2 out of 3 match bouts. All entrants will be shuffled.
 
 
King of the Hill match rules
Weapons used: Damaging or Non Damaging (Destruction is Permitted!)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
 
Info: The King of the Hill match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a best 2 out of 3 match bouts with 4 contenders. All entrants will be shuffled.
 
1 on 1 Death match rules
Weapons used: Damaging or Non Damaging (Destruction is Permitted!)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
 
Info: The 1 on 1 Death match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a best 2 out of 3 match bouts with only 2 contenders. All entrants will be shuffled.
 
Final match rules:
Info: It is just like the 1 on 1 Death Match. Best 2 out of 3 wins. Note: For the final match, only the Bot used in the Death match will be used.
 
 
Ties:
If there is a tie, The contenders total match points will be added up. The bot with the most points would then break the tie and win the entire match.
 
Multibots:
Just like in BBEANS, you are allowed to submit multibots. However, they both are classified the same as the ones in BBEANS (accumulated weight of both bots must equal entry weight) and MUST have the same chassis. However, they CAN be different in terms of the way their baseplate setup is, but this MUST NOT be changed once their parts are put down. For example, you can create a spinner and a flipper (both use different "baseplate parts"), but the parts cannot be moved once they are on each of the chassis.
 
Summary
Today's Weight Class for all entries is: Middle Weights
Type of Building Rule Used: Realistic
The Winner will receive this Badge: The Grand Opening Sticker (pic coming soon): This Badge shows that you won the Grand Prize! This will be a decal that you could put on your bot, and will be recorded on my new ELBITE Super Tournament website.
 
 
May the best ELBITER win!
 
 
AI Rules: If you are not python savvy then simply send me your bot(s). I will do it for you.
 
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED! Check out the ELBITE website for the match up video and upcoming splash!

Is it DSL?
If so, I'll enter! (Think, not many MW bots, eh Whamett, but new one!)
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

It says DSL up there, it's in red.
And do we have to AI our own bots? (I'm not very good at that...)

Maybe, I know how to do smartzones & label the drive controls & stuff like that, but I'm not sure how to do AI file bindings (If that's what they're called).

Sure, thanks a lot. What programs do I need? (maybe we should continue this in a PM, it's getting a little off topic.)

Changed the rules. I decided that it will stay as DSL. Since the last BBEANS tournament it only makes sense that everyone has DSL on their computers, and I don't want to make anyone struggle. This month is DSL, next month will be stock (for the sake of those who dont have it installed right now).

So do we have to make a bot with interchangeable weapons, or multiple bots?

I am sure he will provide an entry page later and also an uploader for your entries as soon as all the rules are worked out.
