Youd likely only get the actual tickets on the saturday,
So might have a hard time entering earlier
Hi everyone,
Just to let you know the passes that Entelect provides will be weekend passes.
Exellent news, Will that be a single weekend pass?
Is that a single weekend pass then?
Then I will prepare accordingly.
Id likely still pick up tickets for the Friday.
I myself am not in a position to fetch the tickets earlier.
That isnt an issue to me though. Unless Entelect already has a presence at comic con on Friday already.
Looking forward to a Comic Con for a change.
Its been too long.
Yes, it is only a single ticket for the contestant.

Only
40 Day(s) 17 Hour(s) till COMIC CON,
@Jako any feedback on when the next tournament and changes will happen as well as if the 8 finalists will have time to do fixes before the finals?
Hi Kortgat,
Please see this post about the next tournament: Release 2022.3.1 · EntelectChallenge/2022-Arctica - Entelect Challenge 2022 / Announcements - Entelect Forum
As far as I know,
The bot you enter in for tournament 3 is your bot.
Theres generally no tweaks allowed after that.

I see ticket sales closes tomorrow? Or am i missing something?
Just to confirm if i make finals do I buy my partners ticket for the Saturday?

I think the “Phase 2” ticket sales ends tomorrow (e.g. like you get early bird tickets), I think ticket prices are probably going up after tomorrow

Thank you, just wanted to buy early bird ticket incase, and left in unassigned just incase I don’t make it and someone else needs a partner ticket

Guessing not today by the looks of it, was refreshing all day, been seeing the portal change a bit over the day as well.
Looks like the Phase 2 pricing is still in effect, hoping it lasts until the results come out

Hi everyone,
I just had a chat with the team and they said that to ensure complete accuracy and comfortability with the results they will have to have a look this weekend. We will have the results ready for you before next Monday.

Congratulations guys, sad I didnt make it 
Day after the submissions closed when I played against someone else’s bot I noticed a pretty crap bug that stopped myne from obtaining population tier 6 because it burned between 100 and 400 wood too much when the wood was done… a simple line comment fixed it and i might have joined you at CCA.

Sorry to hear that @Kortgat, that sucks - I think we all are dreading finding a bug (hence my head in the sand attitude). I find the similarities in terms of the issues/solutions discussed thus far very interesting (at least to my own bot), I also spent quite a bit of time trying to get my bot not to over-spend. Looking forward to the discussions around strategy once we get the go-ahead that nothing can change until the finals.

Im worried that my own bot might do that same nonsense in the finals.
Im so scared that I hit that 145K population limit.
For what its worth,
Im willing to send you my own bot after finals and you can run your complete version to my own and gauge yourself.
But its also as Kobus says,
Avoiding running my bot now as to not see any bots that will make me pull my hair out…
That said,
Im surprized that there are 8 bots that breaks the 145K population limit regardless.
And Im sure that you dont hit those constraints every single battle.
Tier 6 is a very sensitive balance.
Im very paranoid about that.
Im fairly certain all will be final after this.
Though a day or two to just make sure theres no bugs can be super cool.
My entry is finished.
At this time I can only do some territory tweaks.
I think I have one of the most complete bots I have ever had…
BUT… I couldnt test a very wide range of seeds.
I also ran it mainly against itself.
I have no idea what happens if it hits a weaker bot. Maybe having more advantage makes it do stupid things build wise later, Im fairly paranoid.
Id have loved a , take the weekend to bugfix / enhance strat.
But I really doubt that would happen.
I personally have not opened my bot since submission.
Too paranoid I hit a match and it shows a weakness in my strategy and Im all over stressed because of it.
Though already im probably over paranoid.
On one side I am very confident and super excited.
On the other im somewhat anxious.
Have no idea what to expect, this month will be a long month in terms of anticipation.
Thanx, i would love to run against you and see, but i have a feeling i screwed something up with my unit tracking, so I accepted before the results came out that i wont make it.
Next year I will definitely do much more effort, but it helps alot in the first round if you can compete against others to get the base logic solid by competing, so a suggestion @Jako to add a competing feature in phase one, but removing it after so fase 2 and 3 a lot can still change but it helps drive up the quality of the entries.
