The Rules!!!

Destruction Derpy


Ships

1. All ships must be nothing other than the ship type picked for the event. So when the event asks for T1 frigates, only T1 frigates will be allowed to enter. There will be 3 different categories of “metalvl”: T1, Faction/Pirate, T2. So a T1 tourney does not include Faction/Pirate or T2.
2. Ships with bonuses to ECM jammers are not allowed, with the exception of the Ibis. ECM modules are not restricted.

Modules

1. Cloaking is not allowed.
2. All meta levels are allowed, including T2, faction, deadspace and officer.
3. Drugs, boosters and implants are not restricted.
4. Mobile depots and otherwise refitting during a fight is not allowed.

Battle

A battle will have 3 phases: the preparation phase, the battle phase and the post-battle phase. before any of these phases go in effect, both contestants will receive a fleet invite from separate characters with equal boosting skills. players must remain in this fleet for the duration of the fight. dropping this fleet prematurely will result in a loss.

Preparation Phase

1. Both contestants will receive 2 bookmarks: one for their starting position and one for the battlezone.
2. Contestants will both go to their personal starting position at 0km range. Once landed at the starting position, contestants are forbidden to move around.
3. At their starting position, contestants will invite each other to a duel. Once the duel has been confirmed from both sides, both contestants await countdown.
4. When countdown finishes, both contestants will warp to the battlezone at their preferred range, albeit no more than 50km away from the battlezone.
5. Once landed on grid at the battlezone, we enter the battle phase.

Battle Phase

1. the moment contestants land on grid at the battle zone, the fight is on.
2. There is no maximum arena size, warping on grid is allowed.
3. Warping off grid is not allowed. Doing so will be considered a forfeit of the warping contestant..
4. The battle ends once one of the contestants loses their ship or warps off grid.
5. The maximum time for a battle is 5 minutes.
6. If the timer stops and no contestants have lost their ship, or if both contestants agree to draw the round, the match will be considered a draw and will result in round 2.
7. between round 1 and 2, players are allowed to reship. Round 2 goes through the same preparation phase as round one, only this time players have to warp to the battlezone at a maximum of 30 km.
8. If round 2 once again ends in a draw, both contestants will have lost the match and neither will go on to the next round of the tournament.
9. At the end of a battle, be it by losing a ship, warping off grid or ending in a draw, both contestants warp back to their starting position.
10. If one of the contestants ends up in a pod due to losing a ship, the contestant is NOT to be podded. Doing so anyway will result in complete disqualification and a ban from any future tournament or event hosted by Destruction Derpy & Co.
11. Once the battle phase has ended, the post-battle phase starts.

Post-battle

1. The winner of a match may chose to loot the wreck of the losing contestant. Alternatively the winner may make the wreck public. Public wrecks will be considered as a donation for Destruction Derpy.
2. Contestants post either their killmail or their lossmail for the records.
3. Judges will see if any of the contestants are eligible for one of the prizes. If this is the case, winners will be announced and prizes will be contracted no later than 24 hrs after the fight.
4. Depending on the situation, both parties will be placed in a new bracket for the next fight of the tournament.

General Info

1. The tournament follows a single elimination structure, including a match for 3rd place.
2. Judges orders must be followed. failing to do so may result in disqualification of this event and the ones that may follow.
3. External assistance is not allowed and will result in a loss and a ban.
4. The outcome of a match is indisputable.
5. Judge decisions are final and not subject to appeals.
