Title: Extreme Build Rules - NEW EPISODES WEDNESDAYS 9PM BST
Post by: Lilleh__ on February 01, 2020, 07:44:46 AM
For months now, I've been thinking about hosting a tournament which is more lenient when it comes to what cb2 components it allows, along w/ other differences from other rulesets in component restrictions in order to be different from the rest.  As a result, EBR was conceived.

    [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Although they are legal, you are not required to use any cb2 components if you don't want to, and are allowed to enter bots that would be legal for other tournaments.  All events will follow the ruleset of the main competition, which is linked below this paragraph, w/ any variations mentioned in the description.  Arena used will be a reskinned RW reboot arena, unless otherwise stated.

Events

Main competition
No limit to the number of overall entrants, but maximum two per person.  A format will be decided on when signups close.
Confirmed entries:

Signups are now closed.

List of non-cosmetic custom component packs approved for use:

Final rule changes have been made, a few side events dropped, signups now open.  You have until 15 april to get your bots in.

At the start of april I might make further refinements to the rules, depending how many entries there are by then.

This sounds interesting I'll try and send in a bot

Due to lack of entries, I have dropped signups for the side events and decided to enter the main competition myself.  Exhibitions will still take place, using bots from the main competition, and will be decided in a similar manner to in OW4.

I've decided to w/ just over 2 weeks left until signups close, make some changes to the rules:
- wheel motors are no longer allowed
- Diablo motors are no longer allowed
- harry pottre motour is no longer allowed
- fixed a mistake where perm 40 wasn't listed in allowed cb2 components

Changes I'm considering for future series if I continue past this one:
- restricting flatmotors to drums and overhead saw blades/hammer saws
- putting the legality of MOE motors and perm 40s up to a community vote
- restricting spike strip wedges to when they're part of a flipper

**** it. Im entering.

Post by: Lilleh__ on April 08, 2020, 10:41:21 AM
Deadline day for signups is one week from today, so if you're entering I recommend you send your bot(s) to me ASAP.

I'll try sending my second entry today
Title: Re: Extreme Build Rules - SIGNUPS CLOSE 15 APRIL
Post by: Lilleh__ on April 15, 2020, 06:41:32 AM
Deadline day for signups is today.  Signups close at midnight tonight (UK time)
Title: Re: Extreme Build Rules - SIGNUPS CLOSED
Post by: Lilleh__ on April 16, 2020, 05:45:16 AM
Signups have closed.  Thx to everyone who has entered, I will test any bots that were sent before midnight last night but have not yet tested then give info on a tournament format (I may open up a few extra spaces if the number of accepted entries doesn't fit into said format).

I'm also looking at rule changes for a potential sequel to this tournament, which I'm open to discuss:
- 2020 ruleset w/ a small number of changes that might be of use for crushers, multibots, rammers etc.
- two entries max per person, seeds will not count towards these two entries for their builder
- both unseeded entries for each person must be different weapon types, one can be the same weapon type as a seeded bot by the same builder

The splashes are taking so long to do bc of bots w/ long load times that I'll prolly set a limit on load times next time.

EDIT: **** that being the reason if such a rule happens, it just turns out some bots take much longer to load when importing than when opening in the botlab.

I've just finished recording the main competition, so I am now accepting requests for exhibition matches through this thread, RA2 central discord and when the heats come out, in the comments on them.  I will stop accepting requests when the grand final goes public, and at the end of heat F I will announce a special match.  The ten most requested exhibitions will happen.

Three days away from the grand final, and I have a couple of ideas for my next open signups tournament.  Opinions on which one is better and any ideas you have for how I could improve these ideas would be appreciated.
