For your first tournament, the thread looks nice and clean. You may want a bit more clarification of whether there is a limit to updates on robots. Like, am I allowed to only make minor changes, major changes or send in a whole new robot?I'll clarify in the main post, thanks. Can I vote in my own poll?

Yup. I haven't voted in the poll yet, though.For your first tournament, the thread looks nice and clean. You may want a bit more clarification of whether there is a limit to updates on robots. Like, am I allowed to only make minor changes, major changes or send in a whole new robot?I'll clarify in the main post, thanks. Can I vote in my own poll?
Yeah, you're gonna enter, right? Plus, there's no way to tell who actually made each vote.
Yes, you can but always remember that the amount of 'Yes's - 1 will be the actual interest of the tournament from other people. You still only need 8 'yes's but I'd advise waiting until you accumulate a tad more before you request moving this to signups.
Once your tournament has at least half it's entry list size in 'Yes' votes (for example, 8 'Yes' votes for a 16 bot tournament), you can move to signups
Moving to Signups
It is your duty to add a poll to your discussion thread asking "Would you consider entering this tournament?"
Once the poll option "Yes" has at least half the entry list size in votes it becomes eligible for the Signups section.
I assumed your were going for the maximum as you haven't specified your tournament size of 8 entrants. Could you please amend the OP to reflect this?My bad, I knew I had forgot something! Thanks for pointing that out
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67673theforgesmall.png)This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Have fun, you have 3 months :)
RULESETMy Bot:
- Ironforge HW (200.1 - 400.0, excluding smartzones)
- 8 entrants
- No custom components (including skin packs)
- No SnS, popups or crawlers (This includes true popups.)
- Multibots are allowed (limit of 2 minibots per multibot). However, the multibot will be defeated in either one of the minibots is destroyed/immobilized.
- DSL-S building style
- No AAM, BFE etc
- Bots must show controlled movement
- 2 minute battles, BO3 double elimination
- BBEANS V2 Arena
- 1 entry per person
- 1 havok restart per bot per BO3 match. Further havoks will result in a lost round, if the havok is important enough the change the round outcome.
- I can AI, but AIing your own entry is encouraged, as I cannot guarantee anything more than moving toward the other bot if your bot is complex or strange.
- Updates (any changes to your entry, up to and including a completely new bot) are allowed up until the recording for the first match (I will post in the tournament thread to indicate this). After that, no changes can be made, excluding changes to a bot's skin.
- I reserve the right to reject a bot for any reason
Planned Awards
The planned awards are listed in the spoiler. I'm not too sure what other categories there should be, so please do suggest some!
Did I miss anything? Are there any changes you would like? This is my first tournament so I'd like as much feedback as possible.
Only a single slot left! Gotta get in there fast if you want to enter.Single slot?! I Gonna Hurry.
All slots full! Moment of silence for 090901, who got ninja'd by S_MSo Where is match?
090901 can 1v1 me for the last spot.Yo if 090901 is up for that I can host a challenge with your submitted bots, I would be totally cool w/ that.
b-but my bot is just my ra2 trials 5 bot
you could bfe swap the skinned components to non-skinned componentsTried doing that, but I'm not sure what the file names of the skinned components are. I'll take another look @ it.
Actually, I think 09's shouldn't be allowed since it uses custom components. I know they are just re-skins, but that's in the rules, which should make the bot illegal. I know it's the hosts call in the end, but I thought I should say something. No offense 09.Yeah, I'm still on the fence as whether to allow skinned components in any future tournaments I do, but the rules have already been set and I have no intentions of allowing them ot be bypassing. I'm sure 09 just skimmed the rules and didn't read the "no skinned components" rule
