The arena is made of wood.

I wanted to have some weird gimmick which after the round robin, those with below X amount of points would be eliminated (Got caught up in the fire) and we would do a single elimination afterward, but I felt like it was pointless as all the fights had been done beforehand.  After that, I just never felt like changing the name.

Is it standard or IRL?  I only ask this because your entry looks very much it could be an IRL bot.

Edit: I just noticed your byebots.  Definitely more DSL-Standard than your actual entrant.

Do a playoff bracket like nicsan did for his Great Round Robin tournies, the top 6 bots get into the playoffs, highest ranked 2 get a 1st round bye.

Cool arena.

"BFE allowed for aesthetic purposes"
But it's Standard, I don't think this should be here.

Still don't understand the defaults with standard.  I'll remove it.

Not sure how it makes all the fights from what you would call the "regular season" pointless as only the top 6 would get through and would be seeded based on the records, if anything it makes the tourney more interesting instead of some guy just totally clinching it halfway through.

I'd like to see other people's opinion on this before I possible add something like this.

Well because no one really has any opinions on it, I'll be going with 09's recommendation.

I like the qualifying idea plus the bye rewards for top performers. Have you got an idea for a point system?
