Then state what the exceptions will be

If there is a builder that has been here for less than 1 year, but show decent building techniques, can and will be allowed to enter.

Just let anybody enter, does it really matter?

Yes kinda, i don't want n00b bots taking slots from good builders

Then the good builders should build their bots before the signups stage and send them in right away.

You present a good arguement.

Well...

Just get rid of that rule Preytor
You could put a rule saying that bots must be within 10kg of maximum weight or something like that

N00bs could still bypass that rule

You could ask for evidence of the bot beating say, slashback?

I actually had a similar idea to possibly implement in BBEANS7 that would weed out some of the weaker bots and make room for the more competitive entries, without unfairly excluding anyone.

It goes like this: you pick some number of reasonably tough AI bots (say, 3-5) as 'test opponents', and everyone who enters has the option of providing screenshots of their bot beating some or all of those AI bots. You don't have to beat any of those bots if you don't want to, BUT:

Priority is given to entries with the greatest number of screenshots of defeated test bots. If signups are full and someone then enters a bot with screenshots of it beating all 5 opponents, then the entries with the least screenshots would get kicked out to make room for the entries with screenshots. If there's a tie for least number of screenshots, then it goes by date of entry (so early entries still have an advantage).

Also, the test opponents you pick should be different bot types, like a wedge, a HS, and a VS or something, so if there's some bot that's really good against HS but bad against wedges, it can still provide some screenshots and secure a place.

Feel free to use that if you want. BBEANS7 still won't happen for a while and this would be a good test of the system.
