Back in 2003, there were many tournaments, each with their own distinct style. The VFT and PTT tournaments got much praise, but there were other tournaments that were completely unique. These were called the Class League, and the Virus League. These were open tournaments, in which there were many writers, and each contributed their own style of writing to them making those two tournaments quite diverse.
5 years later, this tournament opens to honour them...
THE FIGHTING VAPOURBOTS ASSOCIATION LEAGUE
A tournament thought up by Kody Kunz and Andrew Jackson.
THE RULES
1. This tournament is going to be very big, and because many people are going to be writing it, me and Andy will be competing as well. Well need many vapourbots:
Main Event - 16 people to enter:
8 heavyweights
1 superheavyweight
1 middleweight
1 lightweight
1 featherweight
1 antweight
House Robots - 12-16 people, depending on circumstances
1 house robot
All-Stars - 16 people
2 heavyweights
Challenge Belt - 8 people
1 heavyweight
1 featherweight
Tag-Team Terror - 8 people, tag your own vapourbots together
2 heavyweights
Mayhem - 12 people
3 heavyweights
Vengeance
8 requests
Flipper Frenzy - 4 people
1 flipper heavyweight
Axe Attack - 4 people
1 axe heavyweight
Disco Dance - 4 people
1 disc heavyweight
Crusher Crunch-Up - 4 people
1 crusher heavyweight
House Robot Rebellion - 4 people
1 anyweight (nothing above superheavyweight though)
2. Explanation of all the events...
Main Event - self-explanatory. 16 heats, 2 Semi-Finals, one Grand Final.
House Robots - enter these to deal out punishment to the losers in all the events! 3 will be randomly chosen for the House Robot Rebellion later on.
Other-weights - Included in the main event. 2 4-way Round 1 battles, 2 Round 2 battles, a play-off then the Final, for each.
Extreme - all below are to take place between Semi-Final 2 and the Grand Final:
All-Stars - 8 4-way Round 1 battles (which eliminate 3 bots a battle), 2 Round 2 matches, play-off, then final.
Challenge Belt - First one to enter takes the belt, and is challenged by the ones who entered after him/her/it, one-by-one. Three victories in a row earns that bot a permanent belt.
Tag-Team Terror - Enter 2 of your vapourbots as a team. 4 Round 1 battles...yeah, you get it.
Mayhem - 12 Round 1 battles, 1 bots goes through to an annihilator, two annihilators...yeah, you get it as well. Same as Extreme 1.
Vengeance - Call for matches you want revenge on! Can be any weight! Even house robots can take part!
Flipper Frenzy, Axe Attack, Disco Dance, Crusher Crunch-Up - self-explanatory as well.
House Robot Rebellion - Any weight bot can compete here...just not above super heavyweight. :P 3 house robots will be randomly chosen to fight against.

4. The writing system
We are not going to force a set limit number of battles on people, so people can any number of battles they want. That doesnt, of course, mean you can write the entire tournament. You should NOT write your own battles or write a battle that conveniences your vapourbot. However, the heats and other battle line-ups (except Vengeance and the specific weapon match-ups) will be done via the Random Sequence Generator.
5. Weight bonuses and weaponry issues
100kg for wheeled and treaded bots
110kg for tracks
150kg for shufflers
200kg for TRUE walkers
Passive weaponry is allowed
Clusterbots are allowed, max of 5 parts though. No 50% rule; all the clusterbot parts have to be taken out for a KO.
Interchangeable weaponry is allowed, however no more than 5 set-ups allowed.
6. Final message
Get entering!!!
