I'm considering adding the following arenas, thought I'd run it by you guys, since they're a bit gimmicky:
DSL Ice Arena
DSL Cave Arena
Honey I Shrunk the Bots
The Batcave
Thoughts?
VAPORZONEAdded, as per request
Epic Showdown ArenaActually, had this in here and forgot to list it XD
Infinity ArenaAdded

RedZone ArenaEDIT: Found and added
I can throw some arenas your way to increase the selection.Please do.
Do it man, your tourney, don't see anything wrong with any of those arenas to be honest.Not serious enough.

Also, if the Pyramid is that one from DSL I say remove it.
Literally this. This tourney was designed to be a matter not only of whose bot/bot type was better, but a matter of what arena you got. It's like the Battle Arcade from the Pokemon Games (which is where I get the name and arena gimmick): Absolutely ridiculously imbalanced toward whatever side got the better end of the roll. I actually considered adding the Insanity Arena and Geosphere Battledome to the first tourney, but there IS a line I'm drawing. I don't want it to be all RNG, but I do want that element, and you have to admit, watching anything play out on, say, the AON2 arena or The Pyramid is absolutely hilarious. In fact, the bo3/5 mechanic was actually implemented so that people didn't rage from getting screwed by the arena in a bo1.Do it man, your tourney, don't see anything wrong with any of those arenas to be honest.Not serious enough.

why does every tournament have to be super edgy tryhard serious
why cant we just have some fun arenas
Not serious enough.
i like the idea of those arena tbh since most of them have uneven floors which would hurt wedges and maybe make people raise their ground clearances
High Dive Firepit when?
This is now a sign-ups topic. You have 4 months
Well, since the first Battle Arcade was to celebrate my first year of GTM, how about a second for year 2?
Rules are similar to the first Battle Arcade:
DSL DSL-IRL Middleweight
16 Entrants
cheatbot2 banned
NO outside modification (e.g. BFE, AAM), HAX Mode banned, RA2CF banned except Ro7Break.
Clusterbots banned (I'd rather not have a repeat of the first one, thanks).
Tourney will be double elimination.
One havok restart will be allowed (if it was obvious that the havok directly caused the loss) before forfeit.
You have one major update (defined here as an update that requires me to change AI), and unlimited minor updates. No updates may be submitted after signups.
Fights will be 1v1 bo3, hazards on, until winners top 4, when it will become bo5, hazards off (including for the remainder of losers).
I reserve the right to refuse a bot if I feel it is trying to break rules/abuse loopholes.
Now for the gimmick: If you weren't there for the first Battle Arcade, the gimmick was that the arena was randomly selected from a list that could be contributed to before the tourney entered signups. This will carry over. Feel free to suggest arenas if they are reasonably balanced/skinned! (Tabletop is banned, for example, due to the arena wobbling.)
Current arena list:
If stock is selected, I will be entering Nightshade 3vo:
And with that, deadline is November 1st, or 1 week after we hit 10 entrants, whichever comes first. Get to building!This is now a sign-ups topic. You have 4 months
