WHOO IM BACK DUMMY
And since i'm back, and think it's about time i started the competition, TAG TEAM TORNADO. Viper is working on the rules and bracket, and JoeBlo is adding a flipper to my arena. Before we begin, i would like to thank them.
Now, here's how stuff be's a going down in here.
It's Middleweight. It is DSL. It is Tag Team. It is Awesome.
I will start the rounds on 1st April.
Rules:
No cheatbot2 or part stacking
No flamethrowers
Tag teams may be chosen by people, but if not, you will be put with a random person.
It will be a 16 bot bracket, with two robots going up against two robots (of course, in tag teams)
No BFE or AAM
All robots will have 1 restart on havok, if it does it again, it gets DQ'd
Robots must be at least controlable.
You can't make two robots and claim it's a team. Your getting teamed up tih someone, whether you like it or not :evilsmile:
Bracket:

(As i get robots this will slowly fill up, keep checking it to help you to understand where you are ATM!)

Mod, close this thread please.

Been there, Done that.

Mod, close this thread please.
lolwut? There is no need to close it.
Been there, Done that.
Ok, but then again, it has been done loads of times before this.
-------------
Update: It's no longer Lightweight, it's Middleweight. Soz about that.
-
Dude, stop with the 3x posts please. There is an edit button you know.
-
erm did I ever agree to make a flipper in your arena ?
anyway you need rules.. lots more then you already have, and a format, brackets, info, etc
-
Soz :(
-
I asked you via PM, and you had no objections. If you had said no, I would have not said you were the one making a flipper. Anyway, if you are not, i do not require you.
-
I said "I am sure we can work out something" anyway I am sure we can work out something :P
Soz :(
there is no need to apologize, Im just giving you a to do list for this thread :mrgreen:
also you might want to use the edit button too
-
Im not apologizing to YOU!
Yours is underneath that.
But if you want that to be yours as well, go ahead :mrgreen:
-
It is Awesome.
We'll see about that, eh ??
-
It is Awesome.
We'll see about that, eh ??
Yes we will, Naryar.
Yes we will.
-
I'm interested :D
-
when will there be more stock tourney's :(
-
I'm interested, too. If this goes ahead, I might put something together.
But by Tagteam, do you mean with teams of two users, or one user with two robots?
-
when will there be more stock tourney's :(
There used to be loooads, hence I started R.I.P.
-
hmm... Interesting. Might just enter with my BOTM bot if this gets approved..
-
Because DSL > Stock. >:]

Either. If you can make two robots, go ahead, but i would prefer one robot, two users.
when will there be more stock tourney's :(
Everybody is forgetting stock for some reason :(
hmm... Interesting. Might just enter with my BOTM bot if this gets approved..
As long as it gets approved, i can go to bed with a smile on my face.
-
Stop double posting EDIT BUTTON exists for a reason!
To run a tourney you need to set down hard rules.
Not "I wouldnt like you to enter a flipper".
-
Ok, fine, that half rule is removed, and I wont double post. I see what you mean now. Sorry :(
-
Because DSL > Stock. >:]

your rules are still way to small we need more explanations
-
they aren't very clear indeed. if the rules and all are clear, maybe i will care about this.

Apologies, apologies. I will work on the bracket and improved rules today.

:O No wedges?
-
:O No wedges?
2 tourneys are now adopting this kind of rule... I can see that rule becoming much more popular with tourneys to stop popup dominance.
-
Can someone define "wedge"? Are shell panels wedges?
-
:O No wedges?
Yep, to prevent cheap, usually (no offense to someone who's made one) a bit noobish pop-up robots.
Can someone define "wedge"? Are shell panels wedges?
No, I just REALLY dislike pop-ups. You can have shell panels tho :)
PS: I'm going to be a bit cheat-y, and enter in my own competition, but i won't update the bracket until i get a full team.

64 robots? that's kinda ambitious... Replica Wars only had 22 entries.
-
64 robots? that's kinda ambitious...
Well, if I don't get enough, I'll reduce it to 32.
-
Might as well reduce it to 32 now, even BBEANS hasnt had 64 bots yet...

Most tournament runners do enter their own tournament, though you should make your entry before you see any others, if possible.

Yeah, will do.

lol what S_M pointed out makes sense but CC3 capped at 41 with around 5-10 active DSL builders not entering
I would say you could fill up
but I also strongly recommended starting smaller try 16 for your first tournament
I mean CC3 was my first tournament over 36

16 or 32? What should it be, guys?
-
8 or 16

16 If your fortunate enough that this even goes forward.

Ok, thanks guys.

But then that's only 8 people involved (or 16 if people pair)

I'd totally love it if there was a MW Nar AI tourney though... I wanna see how Fuel gets on...

Yes, i know, that. But, i have never run a competition, and there will be pairs.

One thing though, if you're starting the rounds on April 1st, that means about 2 weeks to open sign-ups, get all bots in, AI them and get the splash done. Try not to rush things :P
-
I just realized that the day signups open for this tourney is the day before BBEANS6 starts...
Epic Confilct, man.

And on April Fools Day...

Ok, I'll change it to... 1st May?
And on April Fools Day...
Don't worry, it's not a joke, i have a much better joke than that coming up.

I know and i will fail, that's why it will be started on 1st May or when i get all the bots.

:O No wedges?
Yep, to prevent cheap, usually (no offense to someone who's made one) a bit noobish pop-up robots.
Disliking popups is one thing and i won't blame you for it, but saying there are noobish is rubbish.
Oh and without gut-rippers, flail shell spinners are going to destroy everything else.

Ok, fine! Chill out. I didn't say they were noobish. I said they were a BIT noobish.
I guess if you want to be without gut-rippers, you have to be without flail shell spinners...
Agh, forget the no wedges rule.
-
Hey, if you want no wedges in your tournament, that's not a problem for me, i can come up with something else than a wedge or a SnS.
...Wait, what am i saying ? Everyone is going to spam SnS or flails :P
-
We'll probably have more diverse designs.
...Wait, what am i saying ? Everyone is going to spam SnS or flails :P
phew for a second I thought you went insane :P
still people said CC would get spammed with shell spinners and the most we had in CC2 was 3

Yay, another rule is on the horizon.
Tell me what you guys think
ONLY one Sheck Spinner or pop-up per team. and a Sheck Spinner and Pop-up is NOT OK.
-
so basically each team is limited to only have
1 shell spinner
or
1 pop up
that would make an interesting rule is wedges were allowed
-
As you wish... or you could just make the rule only 1 gut-ripper by team.
Is it possible to make a one-man team and build both bots ourselves as well ?
-

Yep.
And wedges are allowed.
I guess this competition is getting sh*tloads better, or is it just me?

Hmmmm, I will do rules in a little bit I've been busy

You can't make two robots and claim it's a team. Your getting teamed up tih someone, whether you like it or not :evilsmile:
ONLY one Sheck Spinner or pop-up per team
A Sheck Spinner and Pop-up is NOT OK
(Wow, lotta rules)
Rules seem fine except for some things: no random pairing people up, people will send their bots in as a team( same argument I had with TX with BXT). 2 Their should be no restrictions on bot types? Sheck Spinner and Pop-ups ARE OK :smile: .

I know they are, but having 2 Pop Ups or Two Sheck Spinners on a team would make it be slightly unfair, but who cares, I'll remove that rule. Also, send in there bots as a team? As in, tworobots from one guy, or two guys send in one robot each, and say that they are on a team?

NOES I HATE DSL!!!

Who wants to team up ?
-
few rule suggestions for the sign ups thread, if I may
No AI Parts
Standard DSL Realistic Rules apply
also add the weight class and game version to that thread

Hi rage will calm down (hopefully) as long as we go by the NP rule.
PS: why do you hate Piglets, neways? Did they kill your family or somethin?
-
righto I sent you a pm with some info
all that's left imo is arena info.. please add that to the sign ups thread ;)

I edited your post in signups....
I turned the bracket sideways so we will be able to read it....WHEN YOU PUT IT IN THE PROPER SECTION!!!! and converted it to png instead of a big ol gif!
ADDED:
Tournament will start when 16 entries ARE RECEIVED
Deleted the "said they would enter", because you must have the bot before they are entered.
NOW, if you go edit and show what freakin weight they will be, then Joeblo can look it over and approve it if nothing else is missing.
-
If you start THIS tournament and do not follow through in a timely manner.....and I mean real progress weekly, then you will not be able to start a topic in the tournament section for atleast a year! (and you will have a new group name tag too)
EDIT: That goes for EVERYBODY......from no on!!!!! (but especially FOTEPX, because he already backed out once)
-
^^ Even better than me at ranting ^^
EDIT: But you need the arena used in the rules as well.

By god, i feel like you just ripped my neck clean off. I will go through with it, ALL THE WAY.

I put the weight in a place it should be and added the icon (people must use these in each section)
