Title: NQRW 2: Lightweights
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on August 17, 2011, 10:24:21 AM
Chinese Whispers 3: Lightweights
The same as CW1 and 2 but using smaller teams of 3 people and moving into the lightweight class.
24 entrants, so 8 bots.
Yeah, so this would use an innovative bracket system that creates a 1-8 finishing list (although may not 100% reflect the exact order of bot quality). Basically the winners bracket goes ahead but after each round the losers go into their own losers bracket, the losers bracket also has its own losers brackets!


So for example, round 1: A beats B, C beats D, E beats F and G beats H
round 2: A beats C, E beats G    B beats D, F beats H
Round 3: A beats E      C beats G      B beats F     D beats H


Final result: Winner: A E C G B F D H :Last


OK, I made a diagram...:




OR


Not Quite Replica Wars 2
DSL LW
Replica Wars arena skinned
Up to 32 bots.
Single elimination, alternative choice brackets (I'll explain later)
Entrants choose a DSL replica of a real life bot and then make a replica using ONLY the parts found in that replica and only up to 3 times the amount of them. e.g. use of BOB only allows 3 flamethrowers. Multi extenders, ant batteries and any CB may also be used.
Standard 1 on 1 best of 3 matches.


Alternative choice brackets: Each entrant ranks the other competitors in order of how much they would like to face them. I use this information to rank the bots. The lowest ranked bot gets its first choice of opponent, the next lowest gets its first possible choice in its list. etc. etc.... This gives more evenly matched battles.


SIGNUPS WILL BE POSTED ON FRIDAY
