Total Carnage
« on: November 04, 2010, 06:13:04 PM »
Well heres an idea i've thought about for a while, and I think i'm able to host a successful tourney now (or I hope atleast  :laughing )

- The weight class is going to be DSL 2.1 HW
- cheatbot2, custom and AI components are NOT allowed, neither are BFE or AAM.
- DSL realistic rules apply (so yeah you can push it a bit, not too much though)
- One havok restart for each bot, if a bot havoks twice it forfeits the match
- Multibots aren't allowed either

Now for the interesting parts

The brackets are going to be 4 4 way battle royals with the last 2 survivors going through where they'll face a bot from the next 4 way bracket in a deathmatch and then on it stays to a traditional deathmatch set up with a 3rd place playoff aswell as the final.

Whic bots will face which in the second round are gonna be decided on points (i.e the surviving bot with the least points in bracket 1 faces the surviving bot with the most in bracket 2 and vice versa)

The bots entered MUST be a spinner, i.e shell, face, horizontal, vertical, drum, juggler, full body
SnS are only allowed if they are a hybrid between SnS and another spinner type (e.g SnS face hybrid)
Bots are also not allowed component wedges.
Component wedge = anywedge that's mounted on another component.
So no mako,skirt,metal hinge or MCB wedge(whatever that is).
Basically the only kind of wedge i'm allowing is a chassis wedge, because they're useless.

No hybrids are allowed either unless the bot types mixed are spinners.
No flails either, sorry but I don't want the havok mess.

The matches are going to be in a skinned CC one qualifying arena which you can see here
.

I can AI if needs be, but i'd recomend that you do it yourself if you can.
The prize is simply going to be the skin, and ofcourse bragging rights  :mrgreen:

haha this is quite similar to a tournament series I planned to be my annual occurring one but then CC became to popular :P

Mine was to be called TNT (Twist N Turn)

Spinners only, Rumbles, etc

but I was going to use the Blade Arena for more spinning fun


sounds cool, even though I didn't give you the idea im happy to see such a tournament created

Haha, I thought it would be your kind of thing, although i'm pleasantly surprised to hear you had the same idea  :bigsmile:
I was thinking about putting it in the blade arena or tournamet arena aswell actually, but I wanted something close-quaters and diidn't want to give HS too much of an advantage.

SnS/HS Hybrids allowed?
I should have known you would try and bend that rule, but yeah, i'll allow sns/other spinner type hybrids then.

Hmm...well a ban on wedges might not be too healthy for, say, face-spinners (I like face-spinners). :cool:
Seriously, I'm interested in this. I don't really play anymore but this looks like something right up my alley. So, yeah, we'll see.

Actually, that's a great idea for the arena joe, thanks, is it up for download here?
I'm going to have a go at skinning myself (it's the best way to learn how i think), thanks very much for the offer though.

Well I hope you do enter  :bigsmile:
I'm surprised the no wedges idea didn't get shot out the water TBH, but you know, I never said anything about chassis wedges  :laughing

I reckon he can pull it off. New members have pulled off good tournaments in the past, and I think Scorpion is one of those new members who CAN do it.
 
And lol. This tournament is much better than you ;3

Yeah, i'll admit I was going to wait a while, probably after the next round of tourneys have been deicided and are underway, to start a discussion topic, but I was feeling a bit anxious to see what everybody thought about the idea  :bigsmile:

Besides, the idea seems to be well-received, and I'm pretty sure I can host this without messing it up, besides, it's in my interest to prove myself with this and not do what some other people have done with their first tourneys.

Believe me, I really don't want to.
I'd love to be able to do more tourneys, maybe even with this idea (4 way SHW spinner battles FTW ;P)

OK then, fair enough :P
I'd already entered 7 tourneys by the time I started mine though
