Title: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll

Yep, I'm doing it again :bigsmile:


Tournament Rules

1. Two bots start off in the King of the Hill match (1:00 minute match) in LumaZone . The goal here is to get more points than your opponent. If there's 24 entries, then 3 bots will compete in the KoTH and the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated.

2. The second part will be on the SMALL ARENA same as before, damage the trialbot as much as you can, I'll make a LW trialbot. If the bot miraculously beats both bots (which I doubt), the decision will depend on points. This event will be 2 minutes. After this, the points rom the KoTH part will be summed up with the points from this trial and the bot with the most points moves on.

3. Then the heat will end up with 2 bots, those 2 will fight it out in the fight to the finish arena (I found it here a while ago) and here's how it works; two bots start high above on the platform and they will fight it out for 3 minutes and the bot that gets destroyed, immobilized, or pushed out will be eliminated and the winner will go to the finals.

4. The finals will be different this time, 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 in the Hill Top this time, 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 of to the fight to the finish and...well I think we already get how that works.

Rules
1. DSL Beetleweight
2. Realistic Rule Applies.
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 (if anyone's willing to help me with AIing, that would be awsome).
7.NO WHINING ABOUT THE BOT AI BEING SCREWY UNLESS THERE IS BELIEVABLE EVIDENCE AND NOT SOMETHING STUPID (I think we all know why this rule was added).
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.
11. No flamethrowers.
12. Only bot types allowed are Horizontal Spinners, Vertical Spinners, Rammers, Face Spinners, Axes, Drums (small discs in rows are acceptable and when I say drums I mean use the DSL drum), Pokers,  Lifters, Flippers, Popups, True Popups (1 or 2 spikes only), Side Hammers, Axes, and Side Axes .



I plan on letting in 24 entries. I added a poll to see who's interested.

I don't know what I was trying to type. :P

I'll try to say something coherent that expresses what I think about this tourney. :P


I hope this touney gets voted into the next phase of the tourney progression thingy.

Ah okay, well that depends on the other members. Let's hope they're interested enough to allow this in the signups board.

I'm starting to wonder if this could be already considered as a tournament pop...

Yay, BW's.

Time for me to NOT fail in the heat final.

027 may also join this, need to ask him.

What do you guys think?

Trialbot 3 looks suceptible enough, in my view.

0 - 175.0 actually.

Now when's this gonna get a green tick?

When I'm allowed to, when does the next poll begin anyways?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: G.K. on November 07, 2010, 02:51:32 PM
When there's some spaces in signups.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: S.T.C. on November 07, 2010, 02:52:54 PM
Well, RW2 is almost over, and RIMP seems to have gotten into a temporary stop.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: Badnik96 on November 07, 2010, 06:39:50 PM
And CCB hasn't updated for a month now. *Points thread to Joe*

And you have to put the green tick yourself, the mods wont do it for you.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: S.T.C. on November 07, 2010, 08:49:01 PM
That's added when all is ready for signups right?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: NFX on November 08, 2010, 04:02:46 AM
Yeah, you add the green tick when you're more or less ready to proceed to the signup stage.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: JoeBlo on November 08, 2010, 05:37:09 AM
rather then me reading all threads trying to find out if people are ready to move along I get you guys to put a green tick on your topic

when I make the poll I just read down the forum list and put in whatever has a green tick..

so its entirely your call when you want to add it.. the sorting out of your rules is done when we approve your sign ups thread
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: S.T.C. on November 08, 2010, 02:56:56 PM
Well, I just re-read the rules and added more freedom on bot types (axes, side axes, etc) so all is ready now.

As a few of you already know, my laptop is busted (hard drive is almost completely dead) so, as soon as this matter is resolved (I'm getting a desktop sometime soon), the trials will have to be on hold for a while...longer than this while anyways...maybe...

Post by: Scorpion on December 20, 2010, 07:09:24 AM
Meh, I may enter, but I don't like making anything lower than a LW at all.
This does look cool though, if I come up with something, then i'll enter  :mrgreen:
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll

What's wrong with shell spinners?

Laptop is somewhat fixed, so trials is back up and running.

2 out of 3 events are on raised platforms, and shell spinners are easy to push over the edge.

I would enter the bot I wanted to enter in MMR but I`m still to lazy to AI it
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Discussion and Poll
Post by: S.T.C. on January 25, 2011, 02:32:04 PM
So I'm guessing I have to wait for another poll to open so this can go to signups?

Don't fret too much about the delay in signups, I'm actually glad that it's taking awhile; getting pounded by schoolwork, the next 3 months are going to be difficult for me.  If singups opened tomorrow, I probably wouldn't be able to enter

I noticed that a lot of the tournaments that made it through were new ones.  Hardly any old tournaments made it through.  Not just this one, but Box of Nightmares didn't get enough votes either which made me disappoint.  :(


Do people lose interest that quickly?  Or do they fear the host has lost interest after so long waiting for the poll?

I voted for the tourneys that were fresh in my memory at the time.  I don't think this thread was very active when voting started... So people probably spaced out about it.

Apologies STC I would have voted for yours had I put a bit more brain power into it.  Hopefully it will get through on the next round or something.  Try not too feel too discouraged.
