I would like to see a tournament with infinite signups and entrants are split into two teams randomly and each build a bot of a certain weightclass or type and have a running total between the two teams. It would be run in a season format, e.g 3 points for win, 2 for draw, 1 for loss

Sounds like RA2TC mixed with RIW :P

Have an idea for a new tournament, but do not have the time, will or resources to do it.

I got to thinking about the old TLC show "Junkyard Wars" and then I wondered if a tournament like this could be possible. I was thinking DSL, and for the more popular components, there would be a limit to how many you could use on your robot. Limits such as 5 razors per bot, and maybe that you can only use certain components, and so on and so forth. This would give limitations, just like you would have if you were trying to scavenge parts from a scrapyard.

Does this seem like an interesting idea to anyone else?

Metapocalypse ran on that idea, but it was never finished as NFX got too busy. If you have the time, go ahead.

I want to do it,but I can't AI

Ideas here for a more "realistic" tournament.

Judges. The match will be judged by 3 people.
Standard RA2 knockouts will be discounted, or edited.
Live matches. Both competitors can call for a "timeout", and judges can call for an "end match".
Minor rebalancing of components for the tourney, and to encourage more "Minesweeper-like" entries can't build a bot to beat the champ when you can't DL the champ. (alternatively, RPG like elements would be added, such as repair/prizemoney/starter budget/class of builder/???)

I've thought of that idea only people could only use one of each component. Components in the drop down menu will be considered a different component. Would be ludicrously hard.

How would the drive work? If you had to use different wheels, that would screw up the speed, probably.

MassimoV · « **Reply #290 on:** February 11, 2012, 08:10:27 PM »

That's why I said would be ludicrously hard. I was just thinking of it I wasn't gonna do it. If I did though, I might make it Nar AI for the drop down menus. If I didn't it would be filled with one wheeled SnS.

@HA

King Mushroom tried something like that but something came up and he couldn't do it.

MassimoV · « **Reply #292 on:** February 11, 2012, 10:11:23 PM »

Never said I was gonna do it. Don't think anyone would sgn up either.

I need someone to ai for my simple DSL tournament

nope nope nope. Learn to AI. If you can't AI, don't host a tournament.

I am very tempted to make that an actual rule.

Considering my city is doing a 100 year anniversary celebration of the Titanic I thought of a little tournament.

Name: Titanic Clash
Game: Stock
Weight: SHW
Restrictions: Only Rammers with regular glitching rules
Arena: Ocean Platform
Number of Entries: 8
Other: Only people who live on/within 200 miles of the entire Atlantic coast and surrounding seas are allowed to compete.

Thoughts?

What is your defination of regular glitching rule?
Also,Ohter is too bad

Mr. AS · « **Reply #297 on:** March 03, 2012, 09:45:12 AM »

the "other rule" really limits the amount of people that can enter

Wolfsbane · « **Reply #298 on:** April 21, 2012, 01:29:34 PM »

I know bloodbreeds is never gonna happen, so can G.K. close that?

I also wanna make a stock tournament, and i need help ai'ing. if someone helps me, i will reserve you a spot.

MassimoV · « **Reply #299 on:** April 21, 2012, 01:30:21 PM »
