Total Annihilation Tournament Idea
« on: May 11, 2010, 10:25:04 AM »
Hey guys,

I came up with the idea of an annihilation tournament.

Each heat starts as a 4 way melee. The first bot that gets KOed, immobilized, flipped OOTA or has the fewest points after the match time is up is pulled out and the fight gets restarted with the 3 bots remaining. The last bot standing goes to round 2. In this case round 2 is the final since I plan to allow 16 entrants.

I was talking to Craaig about this once. He suggestet to take a random arena after every restart. I ask you what you think. Always the same arena or change it after every fight?


Rules would be:

1. DSL Heavyweight
2. Realistic Rule Applies.
3. No cheatbot2 or custom components.
4. No crawlers.
5. Multibots are NOT allowed
6. No BFE/AAM


If you want the arena change thing, the arenas would be: DSL Tourney, Kenzorg IGC,  Lu-Tze's RA2t#2 , Serges Ring Arena (and may Clicks BBEANS v1 Arena if he allowes me to use it.)

I can film and AI but would be great if you would AI yourself since I only do copypaste.


I would start signups in June if someone is interested in this.

I hope too.. you can see the sad reality with R0B0NOVA how unpopular stock is.. I think some of the hardcore stock builders are on here less and less now too...

I suppose you count immobilization as "KO" there but what about WPBs?

Win by points.
