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.

All right, signups are CLOSED! Time to get this started!

So, unfortunately we didn't fill all the slots: only 12 out of 16. This makes the bracket a bit more complicated.

I think it's best to keep the "Groups of 4" system and having the top two in each group advance to the playoffs. However, that means that we'll have six bots in the playoffs, which makes life complicated. Two of the six will have a first-round bye. The finals bracket will be determined randomly, but as mentioned in the signups thread the first-place and second-place finishers from each group will be placed on opposite side of the bracket so there won't be any rematches until the final round.

There will still be two six-way rumbles happening in the last two weeks of competition, but now all twelve entrants can fight in the rumbles!

Brackets and fight cards for week 1 will be posted tomorrow!

Also, can a mod remove the word "Preliminary" from the thread title now that the tournament is actually starting?

Could we not have the best 3rd place (judged on KOs and scores) go through as well then have the 2 remaining 3rd placed robots fight in a play off? This means we'll have 8 in the next round and can do a standard 8-4-2-1 elimination.

I think it might be better to have the top two third-place finishers go through. Otherwise there'd be an extra week of competition with nothing but the three "wild card" playoffs.

Quick housekeeping announcement:

The Brackets and Fight Cards thread gives you all your fights, as well as who is assigned to write each battle.

Writers, please PM results to me when matches are written, and I'll compile them in a single results thread. That's how things are normally done around these parts, right?

Also, when you make an RP thread, please have a title like "Bot-O-Rama: Bot X vs. Bot Y". This tournament will be running at the same time as Ruination Light and possible FRR: Backlash, so being able to see which thread to go to will make life much easier. Also, please post your robot's stats and/or link back to your signup post in your RP as a reminder.

Thanks!

What just appeared in my hands?
No fights for me week 1.

The anticipation begins...

I'm pretty hyped though. Seeing DNO placing so highly on people's predictions is making me hopeful that I've finally figured this stuff out. To be completely honest, though, my only real goal is to get Neon into playoffs.
