I'll probably be hosting another wacky gimmick tourney like this in the near future

Well here's that tourney. Tracks are hardly ever used in IRL builds due to their immense weight, giant size, and overall less practicality when compared to wheels. So I was wondering how a tournament of only tracked bots would go.
 

GENERAL RULES
-DSL IRL HW
-16 Entries
-Double Elimination Bracket
-Starcore Arena

BUILDING RULES
-800kg or less
-Only allowed form of movement is with tracks
-Bots must have a chassis, no pixelchassis
-Multibots are allowed but both must use tracks for drive
-A bot that utilizes servos or a hammer not powered by bursts will be accepted only if it is already AI'd
-DSC's IRL Pack, Component Freedom, kix's locked npcs, and BFE is all allowed.
-I retain the right to reject any bot for any reason
-One bot per person unless the 16 person limit cannot be reached where it will be opened up to two

FIGHT RULES
-3 havok resets allowed per match (will not be present in vid)
-3 min fight
-Judges Decision will be based on Damage Aggression and Control with each category splitting 9 points between the two bots
-If a robot has all of its tracks removed then it will be considered knocked out
-A manual countdown will be initiated if a bot cannot show controlled movement for more than 20 seconds

SIDE EVENT
-DSL-S, Ironforge, and Retooled will each have their own single elimination mini bracket to accommodate the main tourney
-The minimum number of entries for each meta is 4. If this number is not reached in one of the metas then it will not participate. The maximum bots per will be 8.
-Each meta follows their standard ruleset
-Each meta follows their heavyweight weight restriction
-The bots must only use tracks for movement
-I retain the right to reject any bot for any reason
-Entrants can send bots for as many or as few metas as they would like. Only one bot is allowed per meta though
-A bot that utilizes servos or a hammer not powered by bursts will be accepted only if it is already AI'd
-If you are not participating in the main IRL tourney you can still enter a side event
-Fight rules are the same as the ones posted above

Notes:
I decided to enact the chassisbot rule due to several factors
1. the majority of tracked bots I've seen are chassisbots
2. havoks r dum and ruin good fights
3. uhhhh... chassis skins 
In order to ensure that a whole bunch of overheads or gutrippers murder the chassis in 3 seconds, I chose the Starcore arena to provide ample flipout zones. This should hopefully balance the field out and provide builders with the choice to try and go for the oota or bite into that juicy chassis for a KO

What do you guys think and would you be down to enter this?

[TheOrcCorp]

Hmmm, this is very interesting: definitely looking to build for it!

[Team Code Red Robotics]

I'm up for it, but let's just hope that all entries don't AGOD in any matches

[KidDelta]

Jesus I had this idea earlier today, ok I'll take a shot every time a bot uses TMW3R2 locked as their drive.

[8bean]

Wow, votes filled up quickly. If nobody else has got anything then I think this is ready for signups world.

[Billy5545]

Supported this tourney idea. However, won't be able to join sadly because IRL

[8bean]

I'm kinda tempted to pay tribute to the 3 competitive metas that use tracks in some small side events too. Would you pro gamers be interested in some of that as well or should I leave it as IRL only?

What do you mean?

mhm

Its HECKIN RETOOLED!!! WOOOOOOO

[KidDelta]

 

[Thrackerzod]

I wanna enter the retooled tournament

[NeonCalypso]

Man tracks in DSL is the bane of my building existence

Still interested tho

[kix]

Signups when beanman?

[Nightraven Shade]

A tracked tourney how I miss this? I think I'm probably only one that uses tracks regularly so have 4 or 5 builds ready for it

[8bean]

Updated the info to accommodate the side events and added entry tabs

Signups when beanman?

I thought it needed to be approved and moved by a tourney mod or admin first. If all the info is good then it should be ready.
