As S_M said, a rumble would sort of cheat out members who didn't design their bot for rumbles. So what I'd suggest is a Wildcard mini-tournament, with two one-on-one matches, where the winners fight for a spot in the main bracket. That would allow a Wildcard system, and negate the need for a rumble.

But don't the rules say you can have only one wildcard fight?

Thank you!

I'm agreeing with S_M on this one, people didn't enter a wildcard, they entered a 32-bot IRL SHW tourney.

That's only for the first tournament, 16 entrants or 15 plus one four-member wildcard. After the first one, I think you can get up to 32 members. We can either have an absurd amount of byes, which some people seem to be against here, have a wildcard rumble which would put some people at a disadvantage, or have a wildcard mini-tournament, which gets it down to 16 entrants with no rumbles. It's Mr. AS's tournament, though, so it's up to him, I suppose.

OK...... this is how it will go:

round 1 will be 3 1-on-1 battles (a mini tourney) to decide who gets into the main bracket

example

bot1 ---
           |--bot1   
bot2 ---        |
                    |--bot1
bot3 ---        |
           |--bot4
bot4 ---

bot1 goes on to compete against the other 15 other entered bots

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Just do Conraaa's thing, that way the last 4 to enter don't get disadvantaged. We entered well within the time limit and so shouldn't have to fight through 2 extra rounds just to enter the main bracket.

If you're going for IRL, this is generally how it's handled for real tournaments as well.
