Class: Stock
Weights: LW, MW, HW
Teams: 4 Teams of 3
Format: Each person on a team builds either a LW, MW or HW so each team has 1 of each
3 separate brackets for each weight class,
4 points for the Team that comes first, 3 for second, etc
after all 3 tournaments a winner is decided,
Extra: teams with more then 3 people wanting in will hold some type of play off between yourselfs to who gets to represent the team
as said before to make this easy to run, 3 hosts for AI and matches (one for each bracket) and anyone else wanting to contribute some how
it would be perfect if we can get the 3 hosts each from a different team,
-
So it is basically the olympics of bot builders?
-
I love the idea.
-
rule #6... sorry
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1053.0.html
we seem to be getting an overlap of other peoples tournaments ?
-
Personally, I've been toying with an idea like this for a while now.
My plan was to have Team USA against Team World, with members being selected by a designated "captain" that the host would choose for each side. The captains would then invite four other builders to be on the team. Every person would build a bot of the same weight class, and the robots would face off in a round-robin style format, with each bot from one team fighting each bot on the other team once in a best of 3 match. Robots would be awarded points as a result of these battles, 0 for a loss, 1 for a WBP, 2 for a TKO, and 3 for a KO. The robots with the most points on each team would then face off in a best of 5 grand final.
I would host it if I had the time, but sadly, I do not. I would love to see a kind of "All-Star" tourney like this though, and I would jump at the chance to participate.
-
A bit of a copy of my idea for a tourney, but....
If it does work, then count me in.
TeamZog
-
I BE CAPTAN
-
I think I'm the only Irish person here,so I will work hard.
-
Oh yeah, Reier, R0B0, Urjee, Scrap and Sage vs The Frenchie Horde. :P
-
^^Nary and Cooker?
-
And Phil.
@Reier: R0B0's Canadian though.
-
And Phil.
EDIT: Doh I forgot about R0B0. He doesn't say EH enough!
-
So I could enter this one as well?
-
I wish we all could. We could have qualifiers for the ones to represent various countries.
-
I think I'm the only Irish person here,so I will work hard.
I'm half irish, but does that count?
TeamZog
-
Cooker hasn't been here since long, so the French Team would be Phil and me (would be badass with my building skillz and Phil's modding skillz)
Funny thing, this forum is the only place where i am somehow patriotic.
-
Me too. Usualy I`m not a big fan of germany.
-
Since there are so many US members, can we choose countires that our families originated from? If so, I'd like to take the Czech Republic.
-
Poland, Ireland and Ozzy then....
Poland's robots: None
Ireland's robots: Diotoir, Topbot, Wel-Dor
Australian robots: Terror Australis
And of course, there's the English robots...
Terror Australis would be fun to make.
TeamZog
-
i feel like using my inquisitor MK1 replica i just love the bot
oh resetti i botherd to make that box thing on inquisitor
-
Bondi Tich is an australian robot too (as joe told me)
-
Poland's robots: None
And Serge has confirmed this?
-
I could side with R0B0,because I have Canadian cousins.
-
Or from the state we are from? Like Im New Jersey
-
@G.K.
These are just off the top of my head, and I don't remember any Polish robots....
There might be some, but I've never heard of any.
TeamZog
-
Or from the state we are from? Like Im New Jersey
some countries dont have states
-
Germany has. lol
-
I'm currently in the US, but I think I should represent Vietnam instead...unless Pwn, would like to team up with me to make a SEA team.
-
I like the idea of two teams with captains that pick team members.
-
I like the idea of two teams with captains that pick team members.
I second this.

I think he means just the USA. Afterall, It would be kinda unfair if it was Pys, Kill, sage and acams against the rest of us.
Does it need to be like that, I have a good idea for the teams:
It could be seperated like such:
Team 1: Europe and Aisa
Team 2: North USA and Canada
Team 3: South USA and everywhere else
So, for a possible lineup as an example:
Team 1: Pwn, Nary, Sonny.
Team 2: Scrap, R0B0, Kill.
Team 3: Joe, ACAMS, Inf(?).
Aisa could be added to team 3.
-
Me and Click live in Minnesota. Inf is in Pennsylvania. Scrap's a joisey boy. Pysc is in New York (I think). Or Africa.
-
I is a poh-dunk kuntry boi.
-
I quite like the idea of each represented country/area having it's own qualifying round to see who represents them. This way gives more of a look-in for those who... can't build so well :P Although actually, how many UK builders are here?
-
Me, wham, you...
-
Don't forget GF93.
TG at least used to be a brit I think...
-
WTF I'm Asian...in the US...
-
Huh
I thought before we updated the forums you said you were in the UK...
-
?....wierd...
-
My bad.
-
Mistakes happens <.<....
-
dont forget me.
im from the uk.
-
As am I and SM.
And Wierdo..... IDK if he goes on anymore.
-
Im from florida so yeah...
-
Midwest.
-
im from England
-
I might enter. BTW, I'm from Pennsylvania.
-
In case you're wondering,I'm from Dublin.
-
Im somewhere in the usa.
-
You mean you're not a Pikmin charachter? :eek: MY LIFE IS RUINED!!! :'(
-
Something tells me I'm the only member from Puerto Rico here...
-
Okay well if nobody is gonna start a team then I will. Who here is from the USA (I have to approve of you being on my team btw).
-
I'm from the USA. Do I make the cut?
-
why make teams when you have no tournament ?
-
@JoeBlo: For the fun of it :P
Anyway, the aussie team: Me, JoeBlo, and isnt H@zm from aussie too? Havn't seem him on a while though
-
yes H@z is a fellow West Sider :P he is around, doesn't post as much anymore but I see him on msn quite a lot ;)
-
The Irish team: Me, lloopp D lloopp.
Any other takers?
TeamZog
-
Alright yeah Sage you can be in it. We need 1 or 2 more?
-
usually 3 would make a team, 2 is a partnership, 4 is getting a little big
-
If many people want to do it, then how about several teams have qualifiers for the right to represent the country?
-
Checklist:
1 - Host
1 - Thread Writer
4 - Teams of 3 (Minimum)
1 - Format Idea
I would love to do this one for people but I don't want to overload myself since over the last week I have been running 2 tournaments
Edit: if its only 4 teams I have an idea for a smallish tournament that I would be able to host ;)
-
I'm from New England, so if this is a replica tourney of building bots from your area, I call REDRUM!
-
as far as I know this was turning into just a international team battle
replicas you want the UK vs US thread :mrgreen:
-
Well than I really want to be a part of this.
-
What would the teams be?
USA
UK (Including Ireland)
Aus
Everywhere else
?
Unless you went for more teams and maybe put France or Europe or something.
Could it even be done with like a battle of the continents?
-
I think the US is overflowed with members, so people like me in the US should represent the country their heritage is from.
-
Poland.
But that defeats the purpose, because then it would almost be like a normal tournament.
-
Not all of the US members, just enough so we have a decent distribution.
As for the Asian team: Me, Pwn, ???
-
lol. we could build bot which themed like something from the country. So I have to build a Beer,Sauerkraut und Weißwurst-Bot.
-
UK team should be... i dunno... XD
Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
-
Finnish team would be good, Here are 2 active and 2 other members from Finland!
-
I could be on the UK team. Or Team Finland if you change it to Team Scandinavia. I have roots there.
And Thyrus could join Nary and Phil for team Europe.
-
As for the Asian team: Me, Pwn, ???
I'm half-Chinese...
-
Well the Asians have a team then!
-
I think naryar would kill me xD he knows my luck in tourney.
-
at least you have a tourney record
-
UK team should be... i dunno... XD
Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
[Also addressed to other UK-based posts]
Well, I'm UK... probably even pure UK. *Shrug*
-
probably even pure UK.
no.........
-
Yeah, I know, but I have -no idea- if I have foreign roots.
-
Im from florida so yeah...
me too! although i grew up in new jersey
-
UK team should be... i dunno... XD
Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
[Also addressed to other UK-based posts]
Well, I'm UK... probably even pure UK. *Shrug*
Well you Sys and Wham?
(Sorry was unaware that you're from the UK too :P)
-
Inf is from the USA isn't he? Can you ask him Sage if he wants to be in it?
-
UK team should be... i dunno... XD
Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
[Also addressed to other UK-based posts]

How about a qualifier? There's you, Red, Sys, Wham, Zog, Ashman, LDL and me who are all interested. (If there's going to be a Scandinavian team I'll be in that instead)
One of us could do a Series 7-style heat or something similar. I could host it if no-one else wanted to.
-
There is no possible way USA will lose this.
-
Potential flame-war starter?
-
Potential lets-be-honest-they-have-a-large-percentage-of-the-top-builders truth?
-
We has a large percentage, but ROBO is a very good builder, and if this is a DSL tourney the US becomes much less dominant.
40757- I'll try, he's very hard to contact however. He has a bunch of computer problems at the moment.
-
Asians are --cked....
-
You guys have Pwn! XD
-
You guys have Red(?) and if it is all of Europe Naryar....
-
Asians are --cked....
I'm half Filipino, but also have French blood running through my veins, so I could be either with you or Naryar. I was born and raised in the United States, but I'd rather be with another team XD.
-
Snow Leopards are from Asia.....so you have one of your parents from France from captivity and one from the Phillipines, and they both got shipped to the US and breeded you.....the history of a Fhillipino and French snow leopard.
-
and if this is a DSL tourney the US becomes much less dominant.
I got the impression with all the "stock guys" starting the team building that it was going to be stock
if we all put efforts in together we only need someone to make videos :mrgreen: multi hosting
-
Oh I love that idea. Things are much easier with a lot of people hosting.
I'll see if I can come up with a concrete set of rules for this later tonight, and then we can brainstorm and make a better set of rules. A big, world-wide tourney, made and hosted by a large group of people on the forum. Love it.
-
What a great way to end a year and start another. I might help with hosting.
-
we just need somebody (I may even do it) make an opening to the videos and pass it out to the people who choose to host a part of the tournament
then we sort out a bracket and the entries are passed out to those who have them of there section of the bracket (say cut it into even numbers like 4 or 8 depending on how many teams we have)
then we get a nice tournament without a huge burden of work on one person
-
Asians are --cked....
You couldn't possibly be. I mean, you have SM!
-
Asians are --cked....
You couldn't possibly be. I mean, you have SM!
Win record in tourney battles, 100%
-
Amount of tourney battles: 0
-
how big will this go ? say stock...
US Team
Europe Team
Asia Team
Australian Team ?
-
My only real objection to that is that it gives R0B0 no place.
-
North American team. :P
I wonder how many will be in the Asia Team. XD
-
You've definitely got TG and SM, and possibly The Ounce too.
Edit: R0B0 with the US! We're all doomed!

we could always use the DVD Region Codes

That puts me in team china....
-
Combine China and SEA and that's an excellent idea Joe.
-
ok so that gives 5 teams
Canada, United States; U.S. territories; Bermuda
Europe (except Russia, Ukraine and Belarus); Western Asia; Egypt; Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho; French overseas territories; Greenland
Southeast Asia; South Korea; Taiwan; Hong Kong; Macau, People's Republic of China,
Mexico; Central and South America; Caribbean; Australia; New Zealand; Oceania
Ukraine; Belarus; Russia; Africa (except Egypt, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho and French overseas territories); Central and South Asia; Mongolia; North Korea
-
I'm confused
-
use the map plus those teams I provided to work out which team you compete for ;)
they are the codes they use for DVD's so they are able to restrict sales to particular areas (kinda the same with buying RA2)
-
I don't think there's anybody for the bottom one, so we have the four teams then.
-
so this
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24486world map.PNG)
-
I would think so.
-
yeah
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code)

3 & 6
4
5
-
could we make a poll to get an idea of numbers?
-
I will make one, for people to tick what team they fit in
Edit: ok done
-
Hmmm, I wonder which one I fit into :p
-
Obviously No.5 XD
-
Hmmm, I wonder which one I fit into :p
you love that smiley dont you ?
-
so we are allowed roots, e.g. I'm half chinese so I'm in group 3
-
you make the choice wether you want to fight for
- were you were born
- were you currently reside
- roots or family ties
-
@SM You're as much Chinese as you are anything else.
-
you make the choice wether you want to fight for
- roots or family ties
Roots eh? Well, I am half British :)
-
I am too but I was born in Aus and there is that many UK members it seems silly
-
who's the other group 3 and the other group 4
-
I'm in group 3 (Filipino citizen, but I'm 100% Chinese). XD
-
who's the other group 3 and the other group 4
myself and Doomkiller are flying the aussie flag in group 4

Which team am i in if i am from england?
-
team 2
-
Ya sure?
Europe dosent involve england as far as i know.
-
so this
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24486world map.PNG)
look at this
-
Ya sure?
Europe dosent involve england as far as i know.
hehe you dont know a lot about where you live :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
United Kingdom is part of Europe
-
Well, I am an US citizen for about 2 years now, which officially makes me a Chinese American. although I probably fit better in team 3.
-
Team 2 FTW!
-
hmm well team 2 will defiantly need a "play off" to decide the team :P
-
I.am.SCREWED.
-
So I fit in team 2 i guess.
-
I just had an idea. Shoot it down if you wish
So we have these teams. There can be UP TO 6 representatives from each team - and hence 6 mini-tourneys
Stock LW
Stock MW
Stock HW
DSL LW
DSL MW
DSL HW
And then obviously the team with the most points in all the tourneys wins.
You could even have a DSL/Stock SHW tourney, and/or Stock/DSL AW/BW too
-
Does that mean we need 6 entrants per team?
-
No, up to. People could always be entered in more than one if thats what the team elect.
-
Good idea Craaig. I'd certainly like to do this.
-
Good thinking there.
-
One thing we would have to agree on is a standardised arena for the whole thing. Any suggestions?
-
DSL Blade Arena?
-
Well personally I'd like an arena with low walls - makes it easier for ALL bot types. Something like the RW arena, but maybe without the hazards that everyone seems to hate.
-
Blade: Cam stinks even with F10. But IDK.
Craaig: ehhhhh CC2.
-
I did say without the hazards! :P I know people get quite tetchy about the pit
-
Maybe we could ask Wham to share his [reskinned] WRR arena with us?
-
The RW arena is big, so it can be hard to film four robots in.
I agree with Craaig, we must have an arena with low walls. I'd quite like to use the BBEANS 5 arena with hazards turned off, but let's see what the others have to say.
-
BBEANS sounds alright
-
Expanding on Craaig's idea, if we include the subclasses then all of team 2 can join
Stock AW
Stock BW
Stock SHW
DSL AW
DSL BW
DSL SHW
-
Definitely not BBEANS arena.
-
Which one do you suggest?
-
RAW 1 arena, with the walls lowered a bit more?
Also I don't want the subclasses, that just gets to be too much.
I think, because I hate LW tournaments (GUmba UGHSEYGIEVRILYVWEOUYVSDFIUSEFjksefIUfv) it should be the top 4 (chosen from either playoffs or popular vote) and the categories are DSL HW, DSL MW, Stock HW, Stock MW. Each person of the 4 gets to build 1. If there are not 4 people representing a team, a person can build more than one bot to represent his country.
-
1) I like it
2) Agreed
3) Just because you don't like LW's doesn't mean we should all miss out on battles for them. However, if many people don't want to use them, I won't kick up a fuss.
-
um on poll there no UK
-
Have you seen GUMBA LW division? I agree this was in part because of the overly large arena, but that is exactly what will happen when we use an arena that we are also using HWs for (because we agreed to have a standardized arena for all battles).
UK (United Kingdom) is in the category of Europe.
-
Ah. Maybe we should have a seperate arena for each weightclass then.
-
You could use the Small Arena for LWs, and another arena for MWs and HWs.
-
UK team should be... i dunno... XD
Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
[Also addressed to other UK-based posts]
Well, I'm UK... probably even pure UK. *Shrug*
Well you Sys and Wham?
(Sorry was unaware that you're from the UK too :P)
How about a qualifier? There's you, Red, Sys, Wham, Zog, Ashman, LDL and me who are all interested. (If there's going to be a Scandinavian team I'll be in that instead)

UK-based team, eh?
You've just got yourself another member!
-
RA#2 TT Arena or whatever its called. That would be perfect.
-
On the poll you forgot my country, Vietnam.
-
I honestly beleive it should be seperated into EU, USA and everywhere else.
Pretty even, IMO.
-
Like a round robin! Each category has three dueling nations with a delegate from each. In the end we see which nation (or everyone else) is superior.
-
for arenas...
I can make a low wallcombat zone without hazards or lower the walls of the raw arena
I own a low wall small arena that I made for lower class robots
for teams...
I think the current system I posted works pretty well, mixes everything around.
I was originally thinking teams of 3 with a LW, MW and HW. 3 brackets. the winner gets 4 points, 2nd - 3, 3rd - 2 and last 1 point. after the 3 tournaments a winner is decided
-
Is this going to have an Olympics theme or what?
-
Yes.
-
Robolympics ?
-
Robolympics ?
Not original though... Robogames.net claims to have been formerly Robolympics.
Though, you are a smart chap, I think you can think of another one! :D
-
lol I was only joking :P I know that name is awful
I always liked the name International League
-
I don't mean to derail the thread... but a Robot Special Olympics might be suitable for some of the uhhhh "gifted" members as a qualifier.
-
I hope I know what u mean by "gifted" JD. ;)
-
JD, I hope you mean crappy builders.
-
Probably. Or maybe just LRA2.
-
when are we allowed to send the entrys?
-
Don't even think about it yet. We don't know whose running it, haven't finished rules, haven't finished the format... XD
-
when we have a Host for AI, Video Hosts, Rules and everything else between sorted out
Edit: I have some rules/ ideas drafted up and will post them in a few hours (a little busy-ish right now :P)
-
Wow.... I just saw this tournament. Looks like it could be some fun.
-
I edited Sage's post 1
let me know what you think, nothing is in concrete so its ok to say what you think (but no being picky :P)
-
I'm fine with those rules. I just need to build a good MW.
anyone else wanting to contribute somehow.
What other things would be needed?
-
assistance in AI would never go astray
hosts for the team playoffs (to decide who represents the team)
splash and/or bracket work
-
I could help with of the first two (presuming the team playoffs just need to be the matches, not anything flashy, and I don't have to AI any servo or flamethrower stuff, which confuses me a bit)
-
well stock will basically be popups and HS robots :P
-
Good.
-
we will wait for others to be happy with this kind of rules before we start naming hosts ;)
-
I can host the Europe's Play-offs if totally necessary, but as you know I'm still trying to find time to do the RIP loser's bracket for you moaner's ;P
-
I could help AI if this tournament really needs some volunteer AIers.
-
I'm down with these rules.
Should play offs be actual playoffs or popular vote?
-
I'd prefer actual playoffs, but I think the teams themsevles should decide individualy.
-
I like the idea of playoffs as well.
-
battling is the name of the game, popularity would be silly :mrgreen:
I can do a bracket or playoff..
-
Stock?..........*too lazy to get ragetoon* FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........
-
Stock?..........*too lazy to get ragetoon* FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........
QFT
-
well in was the stock guys that started getting this off the ground and in a direction
also the 2010 tournaments lined up at this stage are TAR and CC3 which are both DSL ;)
-
TAR?
-
The Amazing Rage.
-
lol sorry "The Amazing Rage" got to long to write when naming the BMP's when skinning so I just shorted to TAR :P
-
Any other takers for filimng Europe's qualifier?
If not, Craaig, do you want to split the filming between us?
-
europe could use a host for one of the other brackets ?
so lets see...
Main Bracket's (LW, MW, HW)
1.
2.
3.
American Team Playoff
1.
Europeon Team Playoff
1.
Asian Team Playoff
1.
Southern Team Playoff
1.
not sure if the Southern Team needs a playoff or not... depending on who put there name down
-
You, H@Z, Doom, but who else?
Joe, can you see because t's the tournament section?
I'll do the european qualifiers.
-
Im predicting Ianh05
no I cant see who did what, I could on the old software though :mrgreen:
-
Ian's from Australia?
-
yeah, Sydney Sider like Doomkiller I think.
