With 5 votes to 3, and 3. The rumble will officially take place in the Combat Arena. A shame, because I liked the KOTH arena texture, ah well

Shame... Flippers cant do OOTA's.

Because of Avalanche's debate, we'll be doing one more round of Rumble arena voting. Sorry, guys~

Quit being square, make it Clawtop.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #30 on:** February 12, 2017, 05:42:07 PM »

I think the better question here is: why do we care about the opinion of someone who's banned?

Probably Rob · « **Reply #31 on:** February 12, 2017, 08:04:06 PM »

With 9 votes, to 5, and 1. The rumble will officially-officially take place in the ClawTop Arena without hazards. No more re-polls, and no more re-votes. ClawTop is our president, thanks to you!

They can be downloaded here.
Make a backup of your 'beater1.txt' file in Components.

There is one component that has been brought over from 2.1 that is legal for this tournament.

Tutorial on importing the Hammer Motor

In your components folder of 2.1, go into hammermotor then copy-paste "hammermotor.gmf" into the same folder of 2.2. Next, download this, copy-paste or drag that into the components folder of 2.2. You should hopefully now have the Hammer Motor in your 2.2 game, listed under Motors.

The arena for Round 2 will be the "LumaZone Arena", with edited textures.

The arena for Round 3 will be the "ClawTop Arena", with edited textures.

Match Rules

It will be a Score-based Competition tournament, which will then become a Single Elimination tournament with the final 4 robots.

The 16 robots will compete in a number of variety matches, earning points based on their performance.

There will be 4 rounds.

The amount of time in which your robot has either defeated or survived against Wheel, will be your points scored.

Round 5

The Final

The four robots that have the highest score will compete in the single elimination eliminators to determine the survivor of the Hostile Circus.

When there're robots with the same amount of points during the final 4 tally, they will compete in a mini-rumble to determine who advances.

The four robots after round 4, that have the most points, will advance to the Single Elimination round, to determine the winner of the tournament.

Special Round - All robots (with or without more) fight each other, in a big rumble finale.

No judges' decisions will be made during the tournament, until Round 5. Will be all based on the in-game point decisions.
A judges' decision will be based on points scored, during the rumble.
Lowest points scored, eliminates the competitor.
The Status Messages will be turned on, in case of a controversial countout.

A robot will never be disqualified for havoking. If a havok happens, the match will continue, unless it eliminates a competitor or disrupts the match (flying out of the arena, underneath the map, etc.), then the match will restart.
The rumble will include havok eliminations.
