Hey Devs,
It's been years since I've talked to y'all and years since our last Tournament! IMO they are extremely good for the health of the community and most of us would be glad to participate in them again.

https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/OEE7aI/Sealth-CHALLANGE here if you want to enter we have 8 entry’s right now @X99STRIKER
@X99STRIKER hey it’s no tournament but I have a stealth challange going on would you like to enter
@Nerfaddict thanks… that sounds fun :(
Never.
@X99STRIKER tournaments were basically the following:
you are given some time (about a week) build something to compete that fits within various parameters (part count, size, number of engines (or wheels in the case of car races)), and when you were "done" with your design, you would then submit it into the tournament.
|
now if there were more competitors than the tournament allowed, A qualification round was done (I think) witch would weed out the slower designs. do note I have no memories of this actually happening, but it was added as a "precaution".
|
now how the tournaments worked: 2 "racers", 1 winner, winner moves on to the next bracket.
|
if no one reaches the Finnish line, whoever got farther (in the form of who made it to more checkpoints) would win.
|
if a winner can't be decided, No one wins and both are counted out (I remember a particularly funny moment that resulted in this)
|
but anyways, winner moves on to the next bracket, and this continues on 'till the final 2 "racers" compete and a winner is decided
|
currently tournaments are on "permanent hiatus" due to physics exploits popping up all over the place
I see people talking about tournaments but I only joined 4 months ago so what exactly is a tournament?
