My EVE

Hello pilots of New Eden,

Soon, I will be hosting the New Eden Cup (TNEC) - an annual PVP tournament, where four teams compete to bring glory to their Empire. TNEC encourages pilots to come together, regardless of the politics and diplomacy that have been implemented across the galaxy. Whether you have seen the far reaches of New Eden or remained in secure space, whether you have been involved in wars that have shaped the galaxy or only heard the whispers of such wars that have travelled between the stars, these things matter not, for we all eternally rest in the same Universe.

The Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar, all approve of the New Eden Cup, and welcome all pilots to sign-up for the galactic event, where teamwork is essential, and where individuals can become a threat to be recognised.

Overview:
- Each team can have a MINIMUM of 15 players and a MAXIMUM of 20 players, but only 7 players will be able to play in each match
- The arena will have a 100km radius
- The following fleet comps must be fielded by each team, for each match:
Amarr: 2 Mallers, 2 Omens, 1 Arbitrator, 2 Augorors
Caldari: 2 Moas, 2 Caracals, 1 Blackbird, 2 Ospreys
Gallente: 2 Thoraxes, 2 Vexors, 1 Celestis, 2 Exequrors
Minmatar: 2 Ruptures, 2 Stabbers, 1 Bellicose, 2 Scythes

Match Schedule: Fixtures (Keep an eye on this for dates and times).

To enter, join the channel: The New Eden Cup, and message: Tabs27 or Kasper Kalkonen, the faction you wish to play for. Players enter individually, and not as a corporation or alliance, although players from the same corporation and/or alliance are allowed to be on the same team.

Thanks, see you on-grid!

Starting locations will be told to the individuals who wish to join.

Yeah, it's not a necessity that the "FC" has to be super experienced. A decision-maker is all you need for this, someone who is willing to lead and organise their team

Thanks, I've updated the fitting rules.

There can only be one true champion!

What is the deadline to sign up?

On the rules ...

1 )how will implants be checked?

2 ) What are the match win conditions ? ie there in no time limit set

3) 2 logi's seems like a lot ..imo ( this is kinda conjoined with question 2)

1. Implants will be checked through a podding of the participating pilots. We're trying to work out how we'll do it, but for now this is our most effective way to check it. We'll probably be checking through API as well, but we're still working on making sure everything is in order, there'll preferably be no cheating with Implants, and any cheating caught will be punished.

2. Last man standing

3. Well we see the doctrine fit for a solid match, we're not looking for day long matches, but we feel people will enjoy a proper fight more. Depending on the skillset and experience of the individual pilots, 2 logi can be a lot for some, and not enough for others.

why not allow +3 fitting implants like in the AT ?

Updated all the details.

Matches will start late next week.

Thank you to everyone who participated in, or watched the New Eden Cup 2016!
