Well moth was going to organise the judging, so there shouldn't be any draws although it still is possible however unlikely so I just wanted to clarify what happens.

I've updated my earlier post to reflect the face off.

Please let me know if the details appear correct as I want to use that as an outline for running an event

I'mm still watching this thread , but the event type shouldnt impact on the judging . A fair (for all bots) reliable and repeatable judging approach that reflects our compatition remains my concern. enjoy

12 sounds good.
If everyone could aim to get here at 11 so as to arrange a schedule for the day, set up and so forth then we can start at 12
I will have Bull-Ant, or Fire-Ant as he is now known for reasons you may guess.
so we can get a light weight circuit going.
There will be a BBQ with snags @ 1 buck each though everyones welcome to BYO BBQ food and drinks.

Couple of things

First of I am trying to combine tomorrow with a stop in at Bairnsdale on the way so we wont be hanging round all day.



As far as the points for a Bye


Neweyn’s system
1 for a win 0.5 for a draw 0 for a no show 0 for a loose


Original drag race system
2 for a win 1 for a loose 0 for no show 2 for a solo pass (bye)
No such thing as a draw

In a single or double eliminator the bot that draws a bye isn’t disadvantaged, after all its not its fault his opponent cant make the call so I would pay full win points.

If this seems to be giving the bot getting the bye an unfair advantage I would suggest we insist they are required to put the bot in the arena and beat up an old vacuum cleaner for 3 minutes.Smile

That way they at least have to recharge and if they cant make the call as in they might have blown something up in there last fight they will get a no show score instead of a win score.

I would think they would need to show controlled mobility for a set time, perhaps a 10 count or something like that to qualify for the win points.

Another couple of scratching I am afraid. Matt cant come and I had a little problem with the magic smoke in my new Sidewinder so Maestro is no go. Sad
I was going to give Weasel a run but as the Sidewinder arrived I switched from assembling weasel to Maestro.
Broke one of my rules.
My philosophy uses to be don’t use bits that I can’t
afford to have spares of.

Other Problem is I don’t know if it was just me being clumsy or they just can’t hack it.

Reboot is ready to go and I might bring one of the Banes or Rat depending on how I feel in the morning

OK were on our way; just Reboot and Weasel today so no Rotwang tank rush team tactics, we will see how other people do it. Smile

OK Results

A few notes before we post the results. These fights were judged using a slightly different judging criteria. As well as having a round we were testing both the judging criteria and the scheduling of the day.

As for scheduling. if you drew a bye you had to demonstrate for the full 3 mins that you had controlled movement and that any active weapons worked if so we deemed that you earnt the points of a win

3 rounds were fought then a semi final and a final. for the semi final we had 3 robots and to avoid having a 3 way fight the highest ranked robot on the kero current table got a bye (did not demonstrate movement hence no points) points are to establish who makes it to the semi's and final's nothing else.

2 points win 1 point draw 0 point loose

Round 1

Reboot vs bye Reboot won
black& white vs 6x7 b&w won
vincent vs spearhead vincent won


Round 2

reboot vs 6x7 reboot won
b&w vs speahead b&w won due to forfiture and demostrated movement
vincent vs bye vincent won


Round 3

reboot vs speahead reboot won due to forfiture and demostrated movement
b&w vs bye b&w won
vincent vs 6x7 vincent won


Semi final

reboot bye due to highest ranking on Kero current table
b&w vs vincent b&w won

final

reboot vs b&w reboot won HOWEVER team Rotwang after the event
has said that they will forefit the win as reboots drum
was not working at the end of the match and b&w was
full functional


Grudge match

6x7 vs vincent 6x7 won


Lightweight round (2 bots so best of 3)

weasel vs fire ant weasel won
weasel vs fire ant fire ant won
weasel vs fire ant weasel won

@ Daniel: totally off topic, but I noticed that your tables are a little out of date, particularly the NSW ones. Most of our bots have five or less fights recorded this year and most events have 3 to 5 fights per bot, so there seems to be several events missing. Any chance of an update?

The NSW table doesn't get updated because you have your own scoring system and ignore mine, so I haven't felt like updating it. The last event is still missing from the main table.
