[Badger]

RULESET

• 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 if 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

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.

By the way, looks good and I will enter.  I notice you didn't specify how many people could enter, though.  Or can I just not read?

Yup. I haven't voted in the poll yet, though.

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 thought it was half the tournament size (so 4 in this case)?

[yugitom]

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

[Reier]

im in

[Bobyasianboy]

Already made a bot

[Badger]

Note, I might have to wait a couple weeks for signups, since I'm really busy IRL ATM. Does anyone have an opinion on the "No popups" rule?

[Reier]

wouldnt mind it, they dont really add anything

[Badger]

Alright, I should have enough time to get this thing done now.

CHANGES:
- Changed arena from Ring to BBEANS V2
- Cemented "No popups" rule.

Am I allowed to go to signups, now?

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.

This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Have fun, you have 3 months :)

[Reier]

I will send something as soon as I get off break and can access my pc  :L
