Mission Statement:

The sole purpose of this contest is to promote mecha design and development. To gain valuable experiences in mecha construction and allow mecha designers share new ideas and design concepts through controlled combat events.

Contest Format:

Here's how the contest is resolved:

• Each contestant shall produce a set of concept design illustrations to enter the tournament.
• For each monthly tournament, 16 entries will be accepted.
• The qualification of an entry is based on the receiving date of the design illustrations. As soon as 16 entries are received, the arena battles will begin and no more entry will be accepted until the next tournament.
• There will be a submission deadline date for each tournament. However, it is only to be used as general guide - the match will not start until 16 entries are received.
  
• After receiving the design schematics, the construction of the mecha will be carried out by MMFT sponsors' expert construction team.
• Qualified entries will be randomly paired off to face combat.
• For each pairing, viewers and spectators will vote to determine which mecha is more favourable in a combat situation. The winning design will proceed to the next round.
• In case of equal number of votes for each design, the MMFT administrators shall vote to produce a winner.
• The match will be in Knock Out format: If a design loses a match, the contestant will be out of the tournament.
• A prize will be awarded to the designer of the final round winner. The prize varies from each tournament. (subject to prize availability)

General Rules:

• The contest is open to independent mecha designers only. By the order of CMCE those designers permanently employed by a mecha construction company cannot enter this tournament.
• This is a friendly contest. Those individuals with antisocial behaviours are prohibited from entering or voting for this contest by law.
• There is no restriction on age or gender of the designer.
• There is no restriction on design illustration skill level.
• There is no restriction on design illustration style.

Mecha Design Rules:

• There is no restriction on the mecha design style. However, cyborg designs are prohibited from entering the contest.
• The weight restriction of a mecha design is 100 metric tons maximum. The height restriction is 20 meters maximum. For special designs that emphasize on the weight or height aspect, and exceeds the restriction guideline, please contact the administrator for further instructions.
• There is no restriction on weapon design except those causing mass destruction with single firing ( reference: United Earth Federation, Weapon Restriction Agreement red book. Section 17 Chapter 2 ). These include, but not limit to: K-Class atomic weapons, all bio enhanced weapons and lunar beam systems. Please contact the administrator in case of uncertainty.
• Each contestant can enter one and only one mecha design for the duration of the contest. Partial design improvements can be made during different rounds, however the basic frame should remain unchanged during the entire process of the tournament.
• Only original designs will be considered, strictly NO copied designs or variations/ adaptation of commercial available mecha frames.

A set of two files containing the design illustration is required for each entry. One file contains the main illustration of your mecha design, and the second file contains an icon illustration of the design.
The main illustration has to be:

• 600 pixels wide x 800 pixels long, filesize < 150Kb, must contain Sponsor's name or logo (you can create your sponsor or choose an existing sponsor), mecha's name, mecha's model number, a portrait of the pilots upper body.

•   100 pixels wide x 100 pixels long, filesize < 15Kb, must contain mecha's name, headshot of mecha (headshot can be taken from the main illustration).

If your entry does not comply with these guidelines then the MMFT maintainer reserves the right to alter or reject the entry.
