RA2 Trials 5 - Signups

[Naryar]

am interested but need to actually build and send something

[S.T.C.]

Edited trialbot 2 a bit, really don't know what else to do at this point so I guess its ready for signups, before I move it, anyone have any suggestions regarding the rules?

[S.T.C.]

DP

This should move to signups soon, already messaged Craaig about it so prepare those entries :P

Tournament Rules:

1. Two bots start off in the King of the Hill match (1:00 minute match) in the Hilltop Arena . The goal here is to get more points than your opponent.

2. So the 2nd trial is gonna be a survival trial. On the Combat Arena, 1 entry will fight against 2 trialbots and attempt to survive as long as possible against them. The amount of time you survived will be summed up to the KoTH points and the winner will advance (if you survive 1 minute and 15 seconds, then 115 points will be added to your original score). If you destroyed both Trialbots, then 200 will be your score for this trial.

Trialbots:

1.

2.

3. Then the heat will end up with 2 bots, those 2 will fight it out in the RING ARENA and here's how it works; two bots start on the arena and they will fight it out for 3 minutes and the bot that gets destroyed, immobilized, or thrown OOTA will be eliminated and the winner will go to the finals.

4. All four finalists will face off in the KoTH and the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated. If a 2-way tie for last happens then both bots are eliminated and we head to the fight to the finish, if a 3-way tie for last or 4-way tie happens then the trial will start over. If three bots remain, they will face again in the KoTH, but the trialbot will join the others as a distraction. If there's a 2-way tie or 3-way tie for last, the trial will restart. The final two will head off to the Ring Arena...well I think we already get how that works.

I'm bringing back the losers bracket. This time, the bot that loses the KoTH on the semi-finals goes to the losers bracket semi-final and the bot that loses on the second trial in the semi finals goes to the second trial in the losers bracket semi-final.

More Rules:

1. Ironforge Heavyweight (both IRL and Standard)
2. Realistic Rules Apply
3. No cheatbot2 or custom components.
4. No SnSs (won't do good in the KoTH part anyways).
5. No crawlers.
6. Please AI your own bots, if you can't then I will AI the bots.
7.NO WHINING ABOUT THE BOT AI BEING SCREWY UNLESS THERE IS BELIEVABLE EVIDENCE AND NOT SOMETHING STUPID.
8. Multibots are NOT allowed (due to the fact that if there's a tie).
9. No havok prone bots.
10. No AAM or BFE.

My Possible Entry

Feel free to let me know if I'm missing anything, or if I got something wrong.

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change.
You have 9 months.
Can I go to bed now? :P

[S.T.C.]

Welp, thanks lol, and so it begins.

[Meganerdbomb]

You know what, since it's Ironforge, I'll enter.

[S.T.C.]

Good to know

I'll most likely be setting up a 2 month deadline soon. July 25 being the date I plan on making it up to.

[Naryar]

i'm going to redesign that weapon flipper i entered into that tournament

with less design flaws

edit: maybe add a flamethrower somewhere

edit 2: and a sawbot yes.avi

[S.T.C.]

Added a deadline: July 25th. I'll hopefully have enough time to finish this before the end of summer. That being said, time to get to building

And will win it with my amazing skillz.

[RedAce]

So wait, are you accepting IRL bots for a Standard tourney or is there two separate tournaments for both meta-games?

The former, its an irl and standard tournament alltogether.

[cephalopod]

Basically it's a modern, regular Standard tournament :P

[Naryar]

Time to rek some IRL bots.

Why would anybody enter a IRL bot then?

[cephalopod]

A lot of members from the last few years haven't bothered to learn how to build Standard because it takes effort. (Sorry. :P)

hence the lack of standard tourneys, hence why I now lurk.

It's like stock all over again.

I'll whip something up on Weds after I'm done with uni for the academic year.

[S.T.C.]

Yeah I made it IRL and Standard to not limit the entries since bot everyone does standard, also there's been so many IRL tournaments so I decided to make it both. Also, IIRC, last time I did it like this an IRL bot almost won Trials 4 so anything's possible.

ty4er has entered the trials and received marty's bot.
