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.
-
Looks like you got hit with the text size crap.
-
Yay Beetleweights. =D Puncture 2 shall be entered unless I can improve.
-
Looks like you got hit with the text size crap.
So I wasn't the only one?

Nope I'v bin having trouble with it for a while now. Any idea what's causing it?
-
Nope..
AAANYWAAAAAAYSSS...
Back on topic
-
What's the weight limit for beetles?
-
125.1 -> 175.0 ;)
-
Yup, and I'm allowing VS this time ;)
-
Have there been any DSL beetleweight tournaments before this one?
-
Micro Mayhem.
-
Yeah, but that's starting over.
-
Time to put Jaws of Defeat on a diet. :P
I hope this goes though.
-
What do you mean by this goes though?
-
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.
-
Might join. ;)
-
Great!
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.
-
Wow, BWs. This could be fun.
-
I like.
-
I see this getting more attention than I thought it would.
-
DP
Due to the size incident from last night, something from the finals rule was deleted, its there now.
-
Triple post

What do you guys think?
-
Trialbot 3 looks suceptible enough, in my view.
-
125.1 -> 175.0 ;)
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?
-
When there's some spaces in signups.
-
Well, RW2 is almost over, and RIMP seems to have gotten into a temporary stop.
-
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.
-
That's added when all is ready for signups right?
-
Yeah, you add the green tick when you're more or less ready to proceed to the signup stage.
-
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
-
Well, I just re-read the rules and added more freedom on bot types (axes, side axes, etc) so all is ready now.
-
Am interested. Though BW...
Are wammers considered as rammers ?

Yeah.

After checking the total in votes, I'm glad to see lots of people are aboard the trial train.
-
TP
Just wanna give a heads up that this tourney is officially gonna be only 16 entries.
-
I will enter.
-
Well, all that's left is to move to signups.
-
DP
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...
-
Yayz I have a BW flail top spinner that I can use in this.
-
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:
-
That's a shame. I hope you get things sorted out soon enough.
-
I'm making a face spinner.
-
I'm making a face spinner.
I ment to say flail shell spinner!
-
What's wrong with shell spinners?
-
Laptop is somewhat fixed, so trials is back up and running.
-
What's wrong with shell spinners?
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
-
So I'm guessing I have to wait for another poll to open so this can go to signups?
-
I think you do.
-
Oh, joy..
-
It should still be a great tourney once it gets going.
-
Yeah, I hope that when entries start it won't take 2 months for it to fill up like last time.
-
Black Beetle 7, I choose you!
-
Good to know people are already planning on what to enter.
-
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'm not certain what BW to enter apart from Puncture II. Best get prototyping again.

That would be bad considering you were the champion twice.
-
Just a heads up that this is still here and will hopefully start soon. And there will be a prize.
-
Well my TesseracT klone fails. I need another bot...
-
gah, I need to think of something, maybe a poker of some sort..
Need to see if 027 wants to enter too.
-
I see. Alot of people who entered before seem to want to enter again.
-
Wait a minute! Sheck Spinners count as HS, right?
-
Wait a minute! Sheck Spinners count as HS, right?
...no.
But I will enter! :D
-
Good to hear
*waits for this to end up on signups*
-
Hope no one forgot about this.
-
Still here.
-
you've got a good chance of making it through the poll
-
I voted for it, but it didn't make it through. D:
-
I voted for this as well. D= I wanted Puncture II to do better than he did in MMR.
-
I saw, this has been here for almost 6 months.
-
I voted for it, but it didn't make it through. D:
^
-
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?
-
Well, I haven't lost interest, and I have loads of time to record with spring break coming up.

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.
-
Its no big deal, I shouldn't have let it go the bottom of the first page, I just didn't want to double post so many times like I did before in this thread.
-
Wow, almost 7 months now. Anyone know when the voting starts?
-
After 3 tourneys have ended isn't it?
My tourney has about 1 match left and Ra2tc is coming along nicely so I don't think you'll be waiting too long :P
-
BEEEEEEEEEE FAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
A.K.A i want votey now.
-
Actually i'm planning to go on a 4 week hiatus just to annoy you, avalanche.
-
I need a FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU video now.
Oh wait here it is.
