Tournament Rules

1. The tourney has a Robotica-ish Bracket, 4 bots in each heat.

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

3. The second part of the heat is going to be in the Clawtop Arena with the hazards OFF. Here I'm going to make a pushbot (it ain't going to be a hard to beat bot) and the 2 bots will be a team against the pushbot, the goal here is to get the most points in the battle by damaging the bot (pretty much a 2 vs 1 match). The amount of points you get will be added to the points you've obtained in the King of The Hill match (this part is also gonna be 1:00) the bot with the most points makes it to the heat final (if there's a tie, both bots will go to the heat final). If you destroy the trialbot, the decision will still depend on points. One more thing, If you fall off the platform, you will be automatically eliminated. And if you destroy the trialbot, you automatically go to the finals.

4. 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.

Rules:

1. DSL Middleweight
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 cant 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, Rammers, Face Spinners, Axes, Drums, Pokers, and Lifters (NOT FLIPPERS).

The idea of this tourney is to get builders thinking about what kind of bot would perfect for this tourney and has a chance to win.

Also, a prize is being planned, so it might take a while to get the prize planned out (big thanks to JoeBlo for helping me with this) but I'll do my best to make sure there will be some sort of prize for the winner.

thanks alot! =D

by the way, I'm planning on starting signups sometime soon (maybe on wednesday) IF I get the approval to start this.

I`m very interested in this.

Hmmmm.... I like this.

Hey cool !

It's going to be a flipper fest but i am in this.

Stagfish · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2010, 11:38:35 AM »

so the bot with the greatest pushing power wins?

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:06:57 PM »

Not necessarily. A NPC-Techno bot might as well end OOTA quickly.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:13:42 PM »

I forgot to mention, I'm planning on getting 8 or 16 competitors for this.

cephalopod · « **Reply #12 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:16:38 PM »

I like this idea a lot. In fact, I'll prototype tonight.

Everyone, meet Trialbot

This is what will be fighting in the tabletop arena (might take off the beater bars tho, don't want it to be really good)

Intersting, you should definetly ban flamethowers, its going to give a nice edge for others in King of the hill.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2010, 03:24:42 PM »

hmm good point, thanks for the tip.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #16 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:49:02 PM »

DP!: I fail horribly, I forgot that the clawtop can't be used in a team fight >_<

anyone know how to make it so I can use it in a team match?...

G.K. · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:56:38 PM »

Not while retaining the tabletop qualities, I don't think. I may be wrong. Let me look at the .py.

EDIT: I think it might work if you change the ['TABLETOP'] in the py to ['TABLETOP', 'TEAM MATCH'].

S.T.C. · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2010, 05:09:52 PM »

Yup, that worked. Thanks =D
aaanyways, I'm still working on when to begin signups, maybe tomorrow but I'm not sure yet.

nothing fancy with Tabletop arenas just have to set them in the right menu is all, as long as they have 4 start zones
