The Shtick-When signing up for Pot Luck 2, every entrant must declare a robot type to go in the "pot". This does not mean actually sending a robot of that type. You can choose the same robot type as someone else, however no one robot type can be nominated more than 3 times.
Example:
MikeNCR: Hi, I'd like to enter and I choose Rammer
090901: Hi, I'd like to enter and I choose Horizontal Spinner
THE MIGHTY NARYAR: I GRACE YOUR POXY TOURNAMENT WITH MY PRESENCE. I CHOOSE HAMMER. THE MANLIEST OF ROBOT TYPES. HEAR ME ROAR.
HurricaneAndrew: Is that a banhammer in your pocket or are you just happy to see me
You can only choose single robot types, that means no hybrids. You can also no be too specific. I.E. Rammer is fine. Flail Rammer is too specific. Shell Spinner is fine. Flail Shell Spinner is too specific. Horizontal Spinner is fine. Complex Horizontal Spinner too specific. etc
I reserve the right to refuse any given robot type. Gyro Drills, Crawlers, SnS and Trinity bots are banned.
-When every entrant has sent in a robot type, I will shuffle them and then redistribute them. You will have
a month to actually build a robot of that type. Be warned there is always a chance you may end up with the robot type that you sent in.
-Anyone who fails to sign up in time may join the "Backup Brigade". In the event anyone in the main bracket does not send in a robot in time, a member of the backup brigade will have an extra week on top of the deadline to make a robot of that type. Backup Brigade members do not get a robot declaration. This is a good one if you like being a good Samaritan. You can signup for the backup brigade at any time during the month of building. Assignment of robots to the Backup Brigade works on first come first serve. So no making deals with entrants to take over their robots please.
But, before you enter. Think to yourself. "Do I have the time to build any robot type the GTM community could throw at me? If I get hampered with a bad robot type, am I willing to enter it anyway? Would I not moan to high heaven if I got a bad robot type? If something happens which means I can’t send a robot in, will I tell the host?” Please go through this mental checklist before entering.
I think I covered everything above. Comments? Did people like it the first time? Only real changes from the first tournament are the change of mod, removal of the multibot wildcard rule and removal of arena choice as I like the Keznorg IGC.
