Victory Conditions
1. During a match, a team scores points for each enemy ship it kills, equal to the tournament points value of that ship. The team that has scored the most points at the conclusion of the match, or that destroys the entire opposing team, is the winner.
2. If a team chooses to field less than 70 points, non-fielded points count towards the opponent's score.
3. If a fight is tied after 10 minutes, the next ship destroyed will end the match.
Ships and Bans

Team captains must be online and available to conduct ship bans 10 minutes before the start of each round of the match. At 44 minutes before each match if the captain is unavailable their team's bans are forfeit.
1. Each team gets two bans.
2. The way the banning phase works is as follows:
3. The team which starts the banning phase is decided randomly
4. All ships that are eligible for competition are eligible for banning.
5. Bans are done sequentially in alternating order. For example Team A will take the first ban, Team B will take the second ban, Team A will take the third ban and Team B will finish the banning phase with the fourth ban.
6. Each ban has a time limit of 30 seconds; if no ship is selected within that timeframe the ban is forfeit.
7. Each ban targets a specific ship type and not a ship class or other hull. For example, banning the Harpy would not exclude the Hawk or frigates in general.


Teams should endeavor to have multiple ship setups available as bans may impact your primary team setup. No additional time will be given if teams do not have eligible ships available.

What are the prizes?
Is this a CCP Event or a player run event?
If this is a player run event, how do you intend to enforce the rules of implants, fits, ect ect.
(What is stopping me from bringing a brick tanked officer fit ship + slaves and just not dying?)

As always I'm interested Cool

This is a player run event, but we will have a dev on hand to handle the same server functions as were used for NEO and AT (moving people, checking fits/implants.)

The prize pool is not finalized, but we had so far confirmed Monocle Madness and Wonder bet who are kicking in roughly 10 billion a piece. We are shooting for the 25 billions isk mark for the first tourney.

I don't feel like this hould be allowed. This is dev interfering in the game in every single way. If it's player run players should be organizing security and such. Not devs interfering with the game. Eve is a sandbox.

The tournament is being held on the test server, so I do not understand how you think it is breaking your sandbox.

Good, but also why do we need a dev to do it... I mean we can ask, and this probably isn't the way to ask, but I'd love to see a fully player ran competition even if it is on the test server.

It is more a matter of simply saving time in between matches than anything else. There is a reason CCP developed the tools they did for the AT and NEO and that was to make things quicker and easier when it comes to setting up and officiating the matches.

Going into this, we had planned on not being able to get any CCP support, and had methods in place to set up matches with nothing but the tools that players have. This method required FAR more people to work however, and was not 100% fool proof. Enforcing the implant rules would have also been an issue (we did not want to unban pirate implants because we think they break the balance of the matches.) With the dev tools, we can put teams in place far more quickly, and do not have to rely on the honor system for implants.

You wouldn't have had to rely on honor for implants anyway. Just pod everyone after the match and disqualify anyone with banned implants in the km.

It is something I had thought about as a rather inelegant solution, however with CCP assistance, having certain things such as this as close to the AT experience as possible can only be of benefit to this tournament and the teams involved.

Props to CCP for providing the arenas. It will make everything much quicker. Hopefully it will get commentator/streaming as well.

You can unplug implants to prevent them from showing up on loss mails.

Thank you for the effort and CCP for providing assistance, their tools will come handy no doubt.

Just for the sake, regarding implant scams, you can make mandatory for players to plug in +5 learning implants, and you check if they have implants in the cargo. Once done, pod them, and if +5 does not show, disqualify them. Since it is test server, 100 isk for one is not an issue.

As for the boosters, I can think nothing but either allow them, or puting people on POS and guarding them for an hour. This would be very unpractical, both organizationally, and match wise, as teams woud have too much time to think about their tactic, knowing what would opponent field.

So once again, having CCP GM and AT tools is big help.

Now to ask a question that I believe is important.
Where do you plan on hosting this tournament - Tranq or Sisi?

I think rumor has it the tournament will be on Sisi, but I am sure those of us interested would like a definite answer.
