Agreeing with the others. Lower it to at least two max. The 4 bot rule might work in a tournament without a limit or a really high limit, (i.e, Mr AS's Maximum Overkill) but not for something that requires 24 bots.

Because your tournament had literally unlimited entries, AS.
infinite/18 = infinite
24/4 = 6 (or rather with the upped limit, 32/4=8)

JD, I don't want to be tactless, but you've never run a tournament before, why do you keep thinking you know best?  You're setting yourself up to have as few as five other people taking part, is that what you want?

To be honest, you've only made two that actually conform to the theme - "I Saw U" looks nothing like its predecessor, and Tees Rager, I don't even know what that's supposed to be.

well akshually:
-Max limit is 256 entries.
I get where you're coming from though. 32 max entries instead of 24 sounds like a better compromise than 2 entries per person. Most first tournies don't fill up completely anyway.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

As far as I'm concerned, 4 is just too many. It encourages people to spam entries to try to win, and is unfair on those who would rather spend a lot of time making 1 cool bot than 4 meh ones.
I've said no jokebots so no spamming would be acceptable. I've said before, you don't have to enter 4 necessarily.

BUT I DON'T WANNA :( I might, however I've increased the limit anyways.

I did host JW: Mini tourney XD As I said I've increased the limit. I know you're right with the first so I'm removing it, have a look at my IF showcase for Tees Rager (Toon Raider)

You're completely missing my point. People will enter 4 not-great entries in an effort to have more chance of winning than someone who enters 1 great one.
You don't have to enter 4, and frankly that's kinda my problem with it.

Jaydee you can't increase the limit because it's only your second tournament.

Because its a rather small tourny, it comes from a guy who isnt even major league tournament host yet, and nearly 1/6 of the entries are his.

It's a maximum. No one is likely to reach it so why not?
