The sign-ups are now open, so I'll get the discussion thread started...

Josh and I tested this new system last night and so far so good. However, we're still considering this a "beta" season (won't go on CFL records) since there's probably a lot of flaws to work out. Which means possibly only 8 entrants, but we'll see.

I'd imagine anyone who has read through the guides have questions and may have already spotted some flaws. If so, I wouldn't be surprised since this is a completely new system, so if there's something you're wondering about, feel free to address it and hopefully we can explain it or fix it if there's something I didn't spot.

With that being said, I haven't decided whether I'm entering or not. I guess it depends if we get at least 8!

Yep definitely in. Not 100% sure what I'll want to enter but seeing how it's a new style I'll probably go with a fairly diverse team.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

I'll be happy to give this a shot. Wondering how the dice aspect would come into play, though.

I took a look at the RP form, and I especially like "DEFENSE WALLS". XD

As Chris said, we ran through a few test battles last night and it's a pretty intuitive process once you get the flow of the system down. The dice do all the major deciding for the writer and they really only have to worry about making sure the outcomes make sense and then using them to determine the result at the end.

There will probably be a few bugs along the way but it's something that you just need to put through its paces to make sure it can flow smoothly over the long run.

Oh cool, you spotted a typo. Meant to say 0, +1 or +2 for Rammer Effectiveness. I'll fix that later.

One tourney at a time. I'll sign up for this in time, but right now I'm not even considering my Crazy Bots lineup... I'm just working on FRR right now. I've never played D&D, so I'm a little gunshy not fully understanding how this'll play out, especially when strategy is not as crucial.
There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

Yeah, sure, it seems strange, but that's the point. It's a brand new system.

It would probably make more sense if you go through the process of deciding matches.

Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, mind- a change to the usual formula every once in a while is quite refreshing.

First two are up. Keep in mind these were done very hastily, if only to test Chris' system. Next two I might take more time on, but college internship does take away some of my free time now.
