Title: New Tourney (The time trial terror tourney.)
Post by: Elementos on August 23, 2010, 10:42:09 PM
I am starting up a new tournament for anyone with a killer HW. It called the time trial terror tourney.

What is going to happen is that anyone one want to join tell me. there are 8 spots available.

It is unusual as it is a time trial tourney. if you enter send me your killer HW (tell me the name) and I will AI it and use it In a fight against a "HARD" (lol) opponent from the latest DSL pack. (2.1)  NOTE: you may AI your bot yourselves if you like.  BUT! If I do AI your bot and it loses Don't whine.
 
At the qualifier there are 8 bots. the 2 bots that have the longest times are eliminated. Then on to the 1/4 finals with 6. 2 more are knocked out. Then to semis with 4 and then the final with 2. obviously, i will use a different AI bot for the different rounds.

Rules/conditions:

1. All Bots Must be HW (no AW BW LW MW SHW or UHWs)
2. Game Type is DSL
3. Realistic Rule is ON
4. Axes, vertical disks, horizontal disks, hammers, Flippers and Static (ramming plates, or non-moving spikes) Are Allowed. No Face disks, side axes, side hammers or burst pistons allowed.
5. No MultiBots.
6. The Game Type is Deathmatch.
7. The Arena that will be used is the DSL tournament Arena.
8. Arena Hazards OFF
9. Time setting is No Limit.
10. There are 20 matches in total.
11. Double elimination. No Losers bracket
12. No Mods Allowed.
13. No glitches allowed
14. 8 entrants.
15. If you want to join tell me, send me your bot (tell me if it's already AIed) and i shall update the list.
16. NO UPGRADES.
17. Restart if a bot loses because of glitch. (it gets thrown out of the arena because it hits a broken off component or something like that. This includes AI bots.) Only one restart though.

Green=AIed and ready to go.
Orange=Have the bot but not AIed
Red=Have not received the bot yet.

Spots Avaliable:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Too many Time Trial and Trash compeTitions by Teams of noobs Trying to Trick people into Thinking The more T's are in your compeTition name The beTter it is.

Seriously guys, stop using only words beginning with T in your title. It's getting really old really fast.

It's not my fault that time and trial alliterate. Just because i have Ts in my tournament name, doesn't mean that It's better. I would Never say that. And Plus, Is that the only reason you came on to this discussion? to complain about a name? man, that is so immature.
