Minor Inconveniences - Signups (Closed)

[Shield]

Interesting, I'll probably join.

too bad this isn't middleweights. Could've entered Mantis and Stag Beetle

Those too. Ah. Wish they could see some action.

[Elementos]

Okay, seeming as this now has half of the required entry votes, I think this can move on to sign-ups.

[cephalopod]

Shall I move it on? Usually I wait for a PM asking for it to be moved as per the guidelines but I can see you're now waiting :P

[Elementos]

Sure, let's get this show on the road! :D

[cephalopod]

Okay. It's simple. I'm done with Blades Of Glory. I'm assuming by the lack of interest in the Awards thread that no-one actually wants to bother with grudge matches etc, and the deadline has arrived.

But, I digress.

So here is my next tourney Idea:

(Image removed from quote.)

The Rules are as follows:

-DSL 2.1
-LW Competition
-IRL building rules. (Any Standard bots will be declined.) - Obviously this means that upgrades to your bots are allowed as long as I get them by the deadline. (Deadline will be three weeks after sign-ups launch, and may have an extension depending on the interest level.)
-16 Entrants (With Two bots Per Entrant, More info Later)
-I shall be entering with Mercury and Plutone:

*

-3 minute matches, draws will be decided by Judges - (General RW criteria) *Note: Any volunteers to help are welcome.
-No Clusterbots
-No Walkers/Shufflers/Any-other-non-wheel-system-that-some-of-you-guys-can-devise

So the General idea is that you enter two bots as a team, both which will fight individually and once I have posted the bracket, You have to PM me which bot you want to go first, dependent on the team you are drawn against. So technically, you have to use one bot at a time, but in your second bout you don't get the choice, the other bot will fight. (Then then choosing process will continue.) This will occur on a normal deathmatch-style bracket, until there is only one winner. As I am entering myself, I shall randomly generate my bots instead of choosing so I don't get an unfair advantage - not that I really truly want to win my own tournament anyway but hey, I'm competing for the fun. It's sounds weird at first but I think this could be interesting and could come down to a good choice by a competitor. (Obviously you could try to pick a bot that the opponent wouldn't be expecting so you get an advantage or something like that)

I'm thinking that at the end in the final the last two teams should just have a brawl, 2 Vs 2, and no time limit.

Arena:

-DSL Tournament Arena (Reskinned)

Components:

-No AI parts
-No Custom parts
-Only specific cheatbot2 parts are allowed:

- 1 Judge burst
- Matilda teeth
- Buster Wheel
- Ronin Wheel
- Yellow Buzzard Wheel
- Growler Wheel
- Slap Happy Wheel
- M.O.E. Wheel

Illegals:

- No M.O.E Motors
- None of Bob's extras
- No Judge's gavel, Beta's battery and hammer, or Vertigo's motor.
- Tit sheets are allowed, as long as they aren't attached to the baseplate.
- No Beta armour

Other Stuff:

-I can AI your bots if you don't know how to, (Although I do recommend learning how) and will be accepting custom bindings as long as they aren't OP. (Ridiculous speed etc.)
-Nobody can be entered until their bots are received and accepted.
-No BFE, AAM, Thyrus Glitch, ZeroG, Text Editing or any other out-of-game modification. (This doesn't include skinning)
-No in-game glitches, such as Stacking, eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading, Snapper Loading etc.
-No Hax Mode.
-If one of your bots havoks, they will be a restart, but two in a row will result in Disqualification of your bots and automatic victory for the other team.

I think that's all. So what do you guys think? Have any questions/queries/suggestions? Tell me below.

This thread is now a signups topic, the rules above may not change.
You have 3 months, good luck :)

Woot! Let's get this started guys!

[TommyProductionsInc]

May as well enter with what's also going to be my BB9 LW entrant, along with another robot.

[Elementos]

List updated.

Massimo, RedAce and Kurt all accepted and AI'd.

Playzooki, I don't know if your bots are jokebots or not, but either way, the motors stick out the back and it's just generally scruffy.

[playzooki]

motors sticking out of the back got accepted in other tournaments 

and no quality control was mentioned in the rules, just it had to be irl, not good irl.

[Elementos]

Yeah but this isn't one of those other tournaments. And I'm not too keen on people taking advantage of something just because it isn't exactly mentioned in the rules.

Anyway, S.H.I.E.L.D Accepted and AI'd.

[Shield]

Might wanna test Aces High. Had a bit of issues with havoking in my game (Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, idk why)

[Elementos]

Yeah it seems okay most of the time, But I think it's when it loses it's wheel guards that it begins to havok. (I'm guessing because of the low weight.)

Thanks

[Elementos]

No Problem.

[playzooki]

What, so i cant enter because im bad at building?

[cephalopod]

Consider yourself fairly lucky, there was a time when most tournaments imposed minimum standards. Think of it as encouragement to improve :)

[Elementos]

I'm not saying that, I mean at least make an effort it make it look presentable. You're not bad, you're just lazy. :P

[playzooki]

Ha! Like im going to improve in a terrible building style just because of someones unmentioned rules.

I dont need no encouragement, i got stock.

[ty4er]

What, so i cant enter because im bad at building?

from what i've seen, you only enter bad joke bots into tournaments which is a waste of entry spaces. as craig said, you're lucky all tournaments dont have a minimum standard rule.

[cephalopod]

Playzooki, if you don't like it, why enter? Just asking out of curiosity.
