Fellow PVP pilots,

Registration has begun for the first of EVE Fight Club’s tournaments; The Frigate Fight Open! We will be bringing together people all across New Eden for some awesome frigate 1vs1 competition!

1st Place: 200 million ISK
2nd Place: Navy Faction Cruiser of your choosing
3rd Place: Navy Faction Frigate of your choosing

There will also be a random drawing after every round of matches for the following prizes:

2x Navy Faction Frigates (of your choice) - DICE will be used to make drawings for the random giveaways.

How to Sign-Up:

Since this is part of EVE Fight Club’s first round of tournaments, there will be no sign up fee! Send an in-game mail with your intention to sign up for the Frigate Fight Open to Artius from the character with which you wish to participate. Characters must be at least one month old. You will receive a tournament ID number (for matchmaking selection and the drawings) based on the order in which you signed up. Registration ends on 6/10/13.

Tournament Set-up:

This tournament will be a 1vs1 Frigate (tech 1, non-navy/pirate faction) competition, faction/deadspace modules are not allowed. Get out your EFT/Pyfa and start building!

Depending on the number of participants, the tournament will either be on a single or double elimination bracket (blind draw). The brackets will be posted on http://challonge.com/, with links to the brackets from both here and the EVE Fight Club Website.

The tournament matches will be carried out through the in-game dueling system. After you are placed in the bracket, match orders will be issued to you and your opponent. It is up to both of you to get in touch with each other in order to arrange a time and location for the duel. You will have one week after receiving a match order to submit a kill log. (The semi-finals and finals will be administered by an EVE Fight Club rep)

**It is your own responsibility to make sure your opponent is not cheating; bring a friend/alt with a ship scanner/cargo scanner if you are concerned. Fleet up with your opponent ahead of time to make sure that there is nobody else in fleet that could be providing link boosts. If your opponent is cheating, have your friend/alt take a screenshot of his ship scan results along with his overview showing both you and your opponent on field.**

When you and your opponent have arranged a match, fleet up and meet at an agreed upon system. If you choose to use a scanning alt/friend, invite that character to fleet as well and have your opponent meet up with your scanning character before initiating a duel. Once both parties are satisfied, initiate a duel, warp in on an agreed location, and begin the fight.

When the fight is complete, submit your kill log through in-game mail to EVE Ordino with your tournament ID number. You must be the ONLY involved party in the kill log or the fight will be forfeit. The bracket will be updated and your fight results will be linked through the bracket.

After each round of matches is complete, a drawing will take place for the door prizes and a new set of match orders will be sent out. This process will repeat until the semi-finals, where the finalists will be contacted by an EVE Fight Club rep who will arrange the remaining matches.

After the final matches, wining prizes will be distributed and the results will be posted. Good luck!

You are encouraged to take video/screenshots! When the tournament is finalized a summary will be published including player submitted media.

Bracket: http://challonge.com/EFC_FrigateFFO_613

Rules:

-Only Tech 1 Frigates (non-navy/faction) may be used.
-No faction/deadspace modules may be used, those caught cheating will be disqualified.
-Character participating must be at least 1 month old.
-Only once both parties have agreed to a duel can the match begin, pre-emptively starting the fight will result in disqualification.
-A kill-log must be submitted within one (1) week of receiving a match order or the match will be forfeit.
-There must be only one involved party per kill log.
-You are not required to use the same ship for each match.
-If your opponent is unresponsive or is refusing to work with you to fulfill a match, provide proof and you will get a bye to move onto the next round.

DICE:

Matchmaking DICE page 1 (to be unlocked when sign-ups end)

The roll numbers represent the bracket positions and the actual roll values will represent your tournament ID. The results of this DICE will determine your positioning in the bracket. Tournament ID numbers are given out in the order which participants sign up.

If there are less than 100 competitors and a bracket position rolls a Tournament ID that is unassigned, the next tournament ID that is assigned will shift to take that bracket position and so on. If there are more than 100 competitors the second page of matchmaking DICE will be used where the #1 position designates the 101st competitor and so on.

Random Prize Drawing DICE Round 1: DICE created when sign-ups end, unlocked after first round
Random Prize Drawing DICE Round 2: DICE created when sign-ups end, unlocked after second round
Random Prize Drawing DICE Round 3: DICE created when sign-ups end, unlocked after third round

Roll #1: Navy Faction Frigate of your choosing
Roll #2: Navy Faction Frigate of your choosing

Winning numbers will correspond with your tournament ID number. Tournament ID numbers are given out in the order which participants sign up.

If more than three rounds are required, additional DICE will be created.

So participants must be more than one month old and involved in faction warfare, but there is less than one month left before the deadline for registration. Does that mean that pilots who are not currently in faction warfare and have other obligations are not welcome in this tournament?

Also, what kind of turnout are you expecting for this tournament?

Personally I'm not sure how many days I would be willing to show up in some backwater system to fight a random stranger with no supervision or audience just for a shot at a top three payout. With a hundred people like it says in your post, that's almost two months of fights, assuming matches are on schedule.

What made you decide to go with this format rather than for instance a one-off or a weekly time and date for fights to be held in one location with proper broadcasting, commentating, spectators, judging, and so on?

Do YOU like to undock?

My mistake in the original post, you do NOT have to be in faction warfare to participate in this tournament. You only have to be in FW for the cruiser brawl that is going on at the same time.

Not sure about turnout. And you don't have to show up in some backwater system, where you fight is up to you and your opponent, it can be high sec if both of you are able.

I chose this format because fights have the lowest chance of getting griefed, if I had a big get-together it would draw too much attention.

The time frame will be shorter than 2 months, with a bracket system its unlikely that there will be more than 3-4 rounds, so you're looking at a month max. I'll probably cut down on the time people have to complete matches after each successive round.

I wouldn't think it takes much effort to open a convo or evemail someone to schedule a time/location you two can meet in order engage in a duel and fight.

Alright, well that answers that then. Anyone who has the time and the month of playtime can participate, that's very reasonable.

Right, but you're still dealing with the occasional "ha ha, I live a very busy life and don't have time to meet you somewhere reasonable, so you'd better make the 40 jumps out to Khankenirdia. No, wait, I changed my mind, let's meet on the other side of the galaxy, and you'd better come, or else you're going to forfeit huehuehue!" and so on, no? Maybe I'm imagining too large a set of fringe cases of unpleasant people in EVE.

Well, if that is how you feel, then fair enough.

But in all the time I've run frigate races, and all the days we did the daily king-of-the-hill style frigate fights in the Flight Club channel (not to be confused with Fight Club), with all the hundreds of participants and judges and spectators in the past five years, we've only had three or four more explosions than intended, and at least one of those was an self-inflicted CONCORDOKKEN when a racer tried to use a webifier on another racer. Needless to say he didn't make very good time around the track after that, what with his pod having no microwarpdrive and all, and the victim shrugged off the five seconds of reduced speed and didn't complain about it at all.

Personally I feel that the fun of events is getting together and having people on grid and making a little spectacle, feeling like the space around you is alive with people, and having a laugh in chat, or watching the stream and getting excited with the other stream monsters. But that's just my opinion.

A month sounds quite reasonable indeed.

I totally understand your concern, disputes will be settled on a case-by-case basis and if it is shown that the other person isn't making half of the effort, they will be the ones getting disqualified, not you :)

I agree, having participants on the same grid is very enjoyable, I just wanted to try out this different format and see how it went :)
