General Tournament Discussion

[Philippa]

Okay, Kurt's gonna do a new tourneyament for you guys, I think it might;ve been done before but I can't remember. Here's the basic gist of it.

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU...

DSL - Probably IRL again.
Weightclass - LW, MW, CW, and HW.

- 16 entrants in a Single Elimination bracket.
- Each entrant must send a four-strong team of robots that are pretty much the same. In Round One the Lightweights will get used, then in Round Two the Middleweights will get used, Round Three is Cruiserweights, and the Final is Heavyweights.
- Given that it's based around "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." it would make sense that way.

- Each robot must start of as a LW then slowly evolve at each weightclass it increases to.
- They must all look and function the same way, no adding a flywheel to the Cruiserweight version of a flipper robot.

Questions?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm down for editing this, but what's good? Ironforge or DSL, and IRL or Standard?

Another idea would be Keep Your Enemies Close 2, because sequels = easy

That's a really good idea, I like it. I'd say DSL-IRL, if only because that's the metagame I'm best at.

Guise, an awesome new idea, ordinary tournament, with a twist. The host removes a random component from the entries. Could be a battery, a wheel, a weapon.
Then the crippled bots fight it out.

Cripple Crash

bonus points for having a 3rd user controlled bot to fix break up boring matches

I agree, this is a great idea.
I only have experience in standard (so obviously that's what I prefer), but I'm only one person. Of course its up to the majority.

I think a cool idea would be a round robin type deal similar to ironbot or whatever it was called, but when your HW dies you use the CW, when the CW dies you use the MW etc until your LW gets knocked out and you're out of the tournament.

Coming soon, to a discussion page near you...

[WeN]

I am thinking of Go to the new floor or die (GTTNFOD)
MW Stock
Unreal Rule
Arena will be a random arena
BO1
16 Entry
Glitch is allowed expect BFE, AMM and Hax Mode, which is banned.
Boring Gimmick:
Floor Bracket
Each Floor had Matches, Boss, Nothing and lose (lose mean you got eliminated)
there will be a difficult arena on each floor
If you lose the Matches or Boss Battle, you will go right.
if you win, you will go up.
If you go to Nothing floor, you will go up.
Boss will be reused form HeavyDerby's Boss.
floor example:

I have an Idea, I can't really AI, I can get them prepared for AI, but not actually putting them as AI, and I would have to use Bandicam.

Anyways, my idea would be IRL DSL HW, BUT the amount of wheels MUST BE THE SAME as the amount of motors, including servos, burst motors, and hammer/flipper motors.

I might put this idea up in the air if people would want to host it, or maybe I could learn to AI, who knows?

I second this. I to have an idea for a tournament, Clusterbot Mayhem, DSL 2.2 and IRL packs the idea is build 2 robots that weigh around 400, KGS and have them fight other clusterbots in the RA2 tournament arena. The Clusterbots must be IRL. Could someone host this as a tournament?

So basically we have to use random wheels as armor? Can we make the gimmick more interesting in some way?

Learn to AI and record your game and host it yourself. Nobody is going to host your tournament for you.

I never said that motors must have a wheel on them.

They could take full credit.

I don't know how much I have to preach this, but learning how to AI is super simple, especially with the abundance of tutorials out there. If you want a tournament idea done, it's fine if you want to simply leave ideas around for others to pick up, but the best way to get it done is by doing it yourself.

of course they would. Nobody wants to host someone else's idea. Learn to do it yourself, its SO easy

The last thing we need is another IRL tournament.  It's literally the cancer killing GTM.
