Put Arenas in the major hubs, allow players to arrange matches. Televise the match's in local and perhaps in CQ's. (I want my remote CCP)
Set up a betting system, with the house taking a cut. Part of the house cut goes to Isk prizes for the winner, based on a percentage of the take, so that the betting interest in the match directly affects the payout.
Isk sink....

I was never in favor of Arenas, I felt they would be game breaking, but after watching people attempt to manipulate the suspect system to get 1 vs 1 day after day, maybe it's time.
Outside of an Arena, there is no way to ensure a 1 vs 1. This solves the issue, provides passive entertainment for the couch potato/ship spinner types, as well as an isk sink.
With the number of gambling sites run by players, isn't it time CCP got in on the action?

I would definetly say no to "public" arenas, which can be entered at any time by random ppl to fight it out 1v1, because it just does not fit into eve. The day to day PvP in EvE should never ever take place in arenas.

A tool to help people host tournaments is a different story though.

I would guess it does not even need to be a complicated thing.

Basically all you need is an extra window to create tournaments and to participate in the tournaments. If you could just shedule matches and the participants automatically get transfered into an arena (like in the ally tournament) and get transfered back once the time is over.

A few checkboxes for certain rule options, for example:

- Shiptypes
- Max Meta Level
- Max Pilots per team
- max points per team (each ship getting a certain fixed value for all tournaments)
- checkboxes for implant types that are allowed

The system of course would need to be able to automatically scan ship fittings and implants, but i guess that should not really be a big deal.

Basically an automated system that can do what the CCP staff does when they host tournaments.
