Thank you all for participating in the polls and allowing me to begin make this thread by Friday (today), as promised.
Rules:
- 3 AC's max. per entrant, and NO part sharing. The firepower value limit will be at 9000 (hit triangle twice on your PSP when building your AC to view its stats). In other words, NO AC submitted can have firepower above 9000. If an entry has 9001 FP, it WILL NOT be able to compete. - At least ONE of the AC's submitted will have to have a firepower value of less than 8000 if you submit more than one design. - As usual, no LX and no HOHOSHI. - Maps will be random. - I hope to put the AC's in a bracket (or if I get enough AC's, then two), and the placement of the AC's will be ENTIRELY random. - If I get an odd number of AC's or if brackets won't work, random matchups and auto-advance will be in effect. The AC that wins with the highest AP will get the auto-advance each time. - I will give you all two weeks, so I expect to see all designs in before August 18th ends.
The point of featuring a firepower limit in a tourney is to take us out of our groove and force us to think of more innovative combinations weapons. Of course, I'm not commanding any of you to use ONLY weak weapons, because at FPV's of 8- or 9000, BP's and Karasawa's are more than usable. Personally, I have chosen to make an AC that uses a weapon that has never seen the light of day (I'm 90% certain of it).
And remember, be creative and challenge yourselves.

Then submit early? If you're the type who prefers to submit last minute, if you can't send it to me on the 18th (what are you going to do for the rest of that day...? dentist appointments shouldn't take 24 hours...), then you can PM me your designs.

Ah, the revival of an old legend.
Hey, since its FPV is only around 7200, of course it is welcomed in the tourney. I don't know if everyone wants to face it though. ^_^
Since 6 out of 12 people decided that 9000 FP was what they wanted (except O-G), they're gunna have to deal with Dragon too, if you plan to submit it, that is.
hehe, we're all in for another no-limits showdown, it seems.

I'm guessing that the people who voted for 9000 did not remember to put Tamer OR Blue Eyes in the picture. Of course, I check around hangars often and knew about this but never stated it as a reason for stupid reasons... >.<
Perhaps most of the new members voted for 9000? If so, I take it back.

I'm willing to try out an "innovative combination" there's plenty of time the revival of an old legend whenever I hear that line I immediately think of... SOUL CALIBURthat would be a sweet game on the PSP

This is usually the part when people start stating how much progress they've made, and making threats to the competition .

I'm done with all three, and I'm sticking with that risky third one.
I assumed that the limits will be 8000-9000 before the poll started, so I made my three AC's have less than 8000 FP, so I'm gunna relax for two weeks with designs in my PSP already.

meh...school's about to start, so I'll try to enjoy tourney's as much as I can, even if it means losses for my AC's. But, of course, wins would be welcomed just as much, if not more.
I'm assuming we'll get around 20 designs or so (entries usually float around that number...), which means there will be 5(?) rounds. karnage has volunteered to help me out with the first, so he'll get that. asianpilot with do the second with me, and then I'll be able to handle the 3rd and 4th. Finally, Dark will wrap the final match up. 1st round goes down to 10...2nd round down to 5...3rd round down to 3....4th round down to 2...then 5th will be finals. I'm guessing that I'm right.
As for brackets, it'll be great if we got 24. Then karnage and I can handle the brackets separately.

Ah, so this is the next touranment. Expect a junky design from me too.
BTW, Jacques my man, is that all the restrictions there is in this touranment? Because I see some holes... I might exploit them.

Exploitations huh....what do you mean?
>.>
<.<
The 9000 limit, IMO, makes it much more easier for overly powerful combo's to slide...because some EO cores can fit snug with many weapon combos.
