How about no hardeners, reppers, shield boosters, shield extenders, armor plates, or damage controls? I think this will yield the fights you are looking for Roll

EDIT: I apologize for forgetting to suggest prohibiting shield extenders and armor plates.

First off...since warping out is considered a forfeit, is it necessary to have the frigs fit a warp jammer?

Now...if you want this to work, you can't be making up arbitrary rules. Give them each a warp in, set a time limit if you must (5-10 minutes), and let them have at it. Anything past that, and you're going to be making things too complicated. Nobody is going to be thinking "ok...in another 5 seconds I have to be within 10km of him", and enforcing that would be a pain.

A way to get around the issue of a stalemate would be to use a point system. (for example, a win gives two points, a loss gives none, and a stalemate gives one to each pilot.)


Brilliant idea and many good insights. The point system can solve lack of elimination from stalemates. +1 like

1) Frigs must fit a warp disruptor or warp scrambler.
2) Both frigs get a warp in (they can warp in at any distance 0-100km of the warp in) and 8 minutes to resolve the match.
3) Warping out is forfeiting.
4) Point system: a win gives 2 points, stalemate gives 1, loss is elimination. Matches can be resolved that way.
5) No dps or active tank specifications. Just only T1/T2 mods/ammo and T1 rigs because
-some truly undefeatable fits can be created with officer/deadspace/faction mods.
-we don't want risk of ridiculously expensive losses.

Just to give you an idea of how much time it can take when two "counter" AFs fight: it took me ~13 minutes to kill a dual rep Ishkur with perfect resists to counter my Blarpy. I literally ran him out of cap boosters before he went down. -_-

Fight duration increased to 15 minutes in response to Liang's excellent point that a battle between 2 active tankers could come down to cap booster depletion!

Fight rules now posted in original post, as well as the stipulation that a warp disruptor/warp scrambler must be fitted.

FIGHT RULES
1) Both frigs get a warp in (they can warp in at any distance 0-100km of the warp in) and 15 minutes to resolve the match.
2) They must fleet together to avoid gang boosters.
3) Warping out is forfeiting.
4) Point system: a win gives 2 points, stalemate gives 1, loss is elimination. Matches can be resolved that way.


Here is an interesting thought:
For the final 8, maybe contestants should not be informed beforehand which of the 8 they are fighting, to avoid obvious counter-fits!
Counter-fit vs counter-fit could end up in really distorted AF fits totally unlike regular fits (for example 3 resist mods of the same type) and long matches.

What do you think of this method?

I'm not hatin but count me out of this one. Let me know how it goes, figure out the aggro mechanics, then probably count me in for the second one :) Glad to see someone trying to organize something like this, sounds like fun. Good luck to u

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Changing the whole event away from a contest to a big AF bash on SISI on 26 Feb Sun.
Sounds like a lot of work and controversy to arrange/judge it, and when EVE becomes too much work not play, not interested.

So... ASSAULT FRIGATE BASH ON SISI
DATE: 26 FEB 2012 SUN
15:00-16:00 ServerTime/GMT 1000-1100 EST 0800-0900 PST
Just bring AFs and have fun fighting each other.

No rules, no competition. The only goal is fun and to get more people active in frigate fighting.
