I would aim to be there between 9.30am and 10am for car unpacking and Pit Setup
Tech Inspection, Failsafe Checks, Weigh In, Registration checks should start at about 10am
First round draw at 10.45. First Round at 11am
Your team mate can arrive just prior to start, but not if hes bringing a bot or any equipment necessary to tech inspection.
First round fight order can be juggled around with the cooperation of other teams, but if you're not ready to fight when called and there are no others ready to take your place, you forfeit..
An idea I had for this event was to run a "second chance" competition for those who are knocked out of the eliminator comp by two losses.
Basically, if eliminated, you can then run as many grudge matches as you like in between the rest of the eliminator tree.. each grudge match is judged and a point allocated to the winner. The bot with the greatest number of points at the end of the event is the winner of the second-chance comp.
The only tricky bit I am having trouble with is working out how to assign points to bots that are knocked out of the main comp later on, and enter the second chance comp partway through.
It seems to me that if you make it to the quarter finals, then get eliminated, you should get some bonus points to carry into the grudge comp to put you in a with a chance, or else there would be no point moving to the second comp at a late stage, since you wouldnt be able to catch up to those who started in it after round 2 eliminations.
But I cant figure out how many points you should get given depending on when you were knocked out. Any thoughts on that ?
Also, what about the possibility of running the grudge comp as a "no spinner" comp to maximise the likelyhood that those bots will be able to return for many fights without incurring too much damage ?
Spinners could enter, but with weapons disabled.. that might make for some less exciting wedge/bonking fights, but I figure they're better than no fights because of breakages.
Any thoughts ? _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
