RA2 Team Championships - Signups
« on: November 03, 2010, 11:32:55 AM »


Basic Idea:
Users work in 4 teams of about 5 or 6 to compete in a tournament.
Each user makes one bot.
There are different matches for the teams to try & earn points.
The team with the most points at the end of each heat wins, & moves into the final.
Team leaders PM me which of their team's bots will be in which matches (Obviously the LW will have to be in the LW faceoff)

Rules:
1. DSL Heavyweights (+ One DSL Lightweight)
2. Enforced realistic rules apply, only bot types seen IRL are allowed (no popups, jugglers, flail shell spinner ect.), this does not stop you from making a tiny chasis with a few ants & a control board in & everything else externally mounted however.
3. No cheatbot2 or custom components.
4. Crawlers NOT allowed
5. Multibots NOT allowed
6. Please AI your own bots or get someone else in your team to AI. If not, I can AI but all I will guarantee is that your bot moves towards the other team & uses its weapons.
7. Usual havok rules apply, one havok - restart, another havok - forfiet.
8. All building must be done in the bot lab. No BFE or AAM or anything like that.
9. All matches will last for one minute.
10. Not best out of 3 matches ect. 5 matches in each heat, one of each, no second chances!
11. One upgrade ONLY
12. SNS Specific Rules :

Different Types Of Matches & Their Arenas:
Tabletop - Static Flextop (Hazards OFF)
King Of The Hill - Lumazone (Hazards ON)
Tag Team - Epic Showdown (Hazards ON)
Destruction - Small Arena (Hazards OFF)
Lightweight Faceoff - LuTze's Ra2TT (Hazards ON)

Bots required to be made (Each team must have one of each of these bots):
HW Flipper
HW Hammer/Axe
HW Spinner (this doen't include SNS)
HW Rammer/Poker ect.
LW
One HW of your teams choice as long as it stays in the rules

Please do not spend hours skining your bots as I will re-paint them anyway so that it is obvious which team it is in!

Brackets:

If your team wins your heat, you progress to the final.
If your team loses your heat, you progress to the 3rd place play off.

Team leaders are basically so that I don't have to PM every entrant to inform them of something & so that there is no confusion when they PM me which bots in which matches. They may want to guide their team also.
I will pick an appropriate team leader from each team. I will not make anybody a team leader without their consent beforehand.

Awards:
Everybody will get this to display in their sig:

I have also made some component prizes for the winning team, will post later.

Preview:

I guess I'll give this a go. I maybe a little out of practice.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.
