F1 League Fall 2014

<< < (2/4) > >>

Botsareus:
On the other hand, the top 16 are the important robots anyway. Old leagues usually had a little over 16 robots. And it makes people feel special if they make it at least to the bottom 16. The issue I am fixing is having at least 8 versions of the same robot dominate the league e.g. spinner.

Botsareus:
The break down was something like 8 best robots + 8 versions of the same robot (removed) + ~15 average robots. The league result ends up looking like:

23 robots with only 8 actual best results.

Peter:
If it's still using that tournament thingy, it's not expected to make sense after the first place.

Botsareus:
Here is how the tournament `thingys` actually work right now:

A.) All robots are ran for 2000 cycles to figure out there max population at cycle 2000, this is used as a seed.
B.) The weakest seed robots fight the strongest seed robots in (binary single elimination) tournament fashion.
B2.) There are going to be robots that are left over because they are not in multiples of two.
B3.) Every time there is enough robots to double the robots of the current tournament round the program does so. (Once again, it moves the weakest and strongest seed robots)
C.) At some point there is less then 32 robots remaining total, at this point a step ladder league is activated to cleanly sort the robots further.

Any ideas? I would love to hear them.

MacadamiaNuts:
I think it would be fun to have a grand prix mode. All bots are entered in the arena and the top 10 survivors get points, repeat for 20 rounds, then show the final scores. It'll be messy, but it would allow for a large number of entrants without having the number of matches grow geometrically.
