Gratz yugi. I think you are the perfect candidate for this task.

Also, I'll send you a PM to move Throwback Throwdown shortly.

Geice, RedAce, I'll crack down on your threads once I'm familiar with what I can do. You don't want the new guy coming in and messing up everyone's thread because he doesn't know what to do, haha. Once I get a crash course, I'll be cracking down on everything Tournament related :)

Would anyone be interested in a small (8 player) standard IF tournament? Probably HW, BO3 double elim. I feel there aren't enough standard tournaments these days.

definitely

Congrats man, I'm sure you'll do the section justice :)
I'll get in touch with you sometime later on today and check you're all good on the process.
Good luck!

Right, I've done a bit of a cleanup in the Tournaments section and have replaced the mention of Craaig and G.K. with myself so that new members don't get confused if they read their names and don't get a response. Feel free to inform me if there's anything else I need to change in that regard.

Also, from now on, feel free to ask me any questions about tournaments or perhaps a suggestion to amend, add or remove rules.

How much do you guys care about editing? Because editing the video takes about 4-5x as long as recording and preparing the materials for it (images etc). Would uploading straight video files of the matches be OK? (Not going to change the video format of my current tournament, just wondering for future)

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #869 on:** March 30, 2016, 04:57:43 PM »

I think editing just goes unappreciated most of the time, I don't think anyone really minds having just the video, although you should probably edit things out or fast forward it if there's a wedge lock or something. I didn't cut anything out of my tournament and it was boring as sh** because of it.

yugitom · « **Reply #870 on:** March 30, 2016, 05:28:01 PM »

I do love me some editing. Makes the tournament videos a lot more interesting and entertaining. It keeps me watching more than if I was listening to the normal game sounds, which can be ear rape-y sometimes.

someone make a tourney for me to enter

09090901 · « **Reply #872 on:** March 30, 2016, 06:06:44 PM »

somebody should host a no-gimmick DSL-S 2.2 tournament. If RA3 replaces ra2, we may never have had a proper 2.2 tournament.

Reier · « **Reply #873 on:** March 30, 2016, 06:40:30 PM »

I still have that offroad tournament idea kicking around but im not sure if I have time to do it. DSL would be better than IF for that tournament anyway.

Badger · « **Reply #874 on:** April 03, 2016, 02:49:01 PM »

Anyone remember the name of that DSL tournament years ago that forced everyone to use the same chassis, except you could move 1 component? Not clash cubes. Thinking of doing an IF version of that after my current tournament is finished, providing I can get the blessing of the creator.

that was nar's one tourney, you had a prebuilt chassis with like 3 ants and a couple multi extenders on it

random question, how many of you guys actually check for bfe/aam when going over entries?

For those that do, do you skim through the botfile to see if there is anything that doesn't add up, like super-strong armor or weapons that are bfe'd to the baseplate? Or, do you just check the bot in the lab for components that you feel are out of place and cannot be attached I the position they're in?

Just curious as I think that a lot of people assume that just saying "no bfe" is a legitimate deterrent.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #877 on:** April 05, 2016, 05:21:47 AM »

I never check the bot file myself. I know I should check for super strong armour but that should be obvious when the robot fights. I normally just look at the bot in game. I'm trusting enough that no-one who knows about super strong armour etc... would try and cheat like that

Same here.

Due to the recent reform of the Tournaments section and the resulting removal of the Completed child board, whenever you ask me to complete your tournament, I will be locking all the threads rather than moving them all to Completed. So, make sure that you've said all you have to say in the SBV (and Awards if you decided to do so) threads before you ask for them to be locked.
