IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Date Adjustments

Entelect Challenge 2025 Announcements
1

Hello Entelect Challenger Community! :paw_prints::lion:

We’ve got some wild news straight from the savannah! :herb: Due to ComicCon Africa moving their dates earlier (now happening 28–31 August 2025), we’ve had to shuffle our game trail too. :elephant::spiral_calendar:

Here are the new key dates for this year’s challenge, as they are currently planned:
:round_pushpin: Tournament 1 – 10 May
:wrench: Build-A-Bot – 7 June
:round_pushpin: Tournament 2 – 19 July
:trophy: Finals – 30 August (live at ComicCon Africa!)

:fire: As always, friendlies will be running between Tournament 1 and 2, giving you a chance to test your bots without affecting your placing on the leaderboard. :snake::computer:

If anything changes, we will keep you all up to date.

So rally your bot, sharpen your strategy, and let’s make this year’s Zooscape one to remember! :star2:

first year in a while that I have a gap to do this again, little nervous to take on the full-time developers but excited :slight_smile:

Hi @lijani_vwdv Just to confirm is the submission deadline tonight or tomorrow night, the site only states 19 July 2025 00:00 so that means it is the night of the 18th is the last submission date

Im still going to tinker a little,

Cant do much in 1 day, If my entry is last nights thats alright,

I looked at the data,

Here the date says 10th May for Tournament 1, and the site says those entries closes: 11 May 00:00

And July 19, and the site says 18 July 00:00,
So they are not in sync,

I also look traditionally that we always ended on the Saturday.

If im wrong thats alright,
The leaderboard is incredibly tough, we will have some very strong entries thats going to sit at home…

One thing that counts against today being open is I dont know if they automate the tournament.
So theres that.

Hi @WillieTheron and @Kortgat ,
My apologies for completely missing these messages. I did not get a notification for it, and hadn’t checked the forum end of last week - those were incredibly crazy days for me.
I see the out-of-syncness you guys are referring to, it has been an oversight from my side. Apologies for the confusion. The tournament cut off dates were on the Saturdays at midnight this year, whereafter our tournament kicked off.
We will ensure to communicate better and have our dates and times be consistent across the platforms! Sorry again and thanks for your patience and understanding with me :pray:
