Title: Total Annihilation Tournament Idea
Post by: Thyrus 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.

very long story short... he wasnt coming back until the "noob members" at that time were all banned
this was following big arguements with a lot of people involved which is available to read in the Hierarchy topic or wherever bad threads are sold. :gawe:

I suppose you count immobilization as "KO" there but what about WPBs?
Title: Re: Total Annihilation tournament idea
Post by: Thyrus on May 12, 2010, 04:13:59 AM
Great. Yeah. immobilization counts as KO. what`s WPB?

Post by: Doomkiller on May 12, 2010, 04:16:57 AM
Win by points. When a match time limit ends and the winner is decided by who has the most points

Post by: Naryar on May 12, 2010, 04:17:57 AM

I am very interested if it is HW, because I fail at building everything but HW. And anyways, you will need a SFTW entry, even if it isnt intentional....:P
Might work on improving my block from heck in my showcase and see how it goes :)
Title: Re: Total Annihilation Tournament Idea
Post by: Gazea2 on May 17, 2010, 11:25:10 AM

Title: Re: Total Annihilation Tournament Idea
Post by: Thyrus on June 01, 2010, 06:25:46 AM
