The People's Choice - The tournament run your way! - Signups

[R01]

Sounds interesting. Since I'm new to this tournament stuff I have some questions:

Are there any links to the standard stock rules? As far as I know that means unrealistic build style, but not sure about AI and Cheatbot2 parts(especially Flamethrowers which are getting more and more allowed), guessing by the screenshots AI parts are allowed, what about the 150 cm extender and blue snapper?
As far as I understand basic glitches are allowed but anything that has to do with editing the bot file(which aam is part of as well?) and broken stuff like hax arent.

I'm not really a fan of the bots you're entering in this, imo they look way too tryhard for host entries. If recent tournaments are anything to go by, then the average building level is probably going to be pretty low in comparison.

Reduced the signups slots to 16. Can I enter signups now?

So wait, how many bots does each person enter?

Usually all AI parts are allowed, including the long extenders and blue snapper.  Usually cheatbot parts are not allowed; since Badger didn't mention flamethrowers, I'd assume they're not allowed.  You're right about the glitches - basic stuff like stacking or EFFE is OK, but the more crazy "build whatever you want without any restrictions" kinda stuff is not allowed.

1 bot. If there are spaces after 10 days a second bot may be entered.


I'd allow flamethrowers, I'll amend the OP

Not yet, when yugi approves it signups will start. Signups will only cut off when all the slots have been filled.

Is this verification of qualification or a request? I usually prefer requests to go into signups to be sent via PM so I know for sure and so I don't miss the post in the thread.

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You've got 3 months. Enjoy :)

[botomatic1000]

right then I better get building.

[Badger]

Signups are open! Limited slots, so get your bots in quickly!

[R01]

Wow this is going fast, that moment when you realize that you have 3 bots but all are unfinished. Definitely need to create some more next time.

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll slow down soon and there will be plenty of spots.  This is just the initial rush of tryhards who built a bot three months ago and have been camping the page waiting for a tournament to pop up.  im not the only one that does that right

[botomatic1000]

forget my old one its crap im building something new that will be even worse!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Mecha]

I hope I can finish something in time

[090901]

[botomatic1000]

My bot looks alright but in reality... well you'll have to wait to see it.

[Badger]
