eveSports Evolved: Death2AllSupers Tournament

What might be the next logical step in the eveSport evolution. We already have an alliance tournament, and a cash-money team tournament. What else to help hype EVE Online? And kills some supers as well? How about a tournament to showcase nullsec combat. Replete with a titans and supercarriers.

Number of Teams: 8 - 16

Players per Teams: 50 maximum

Tournament Format: Single Elimination

Entry Fee: Free (because entering supercaps is fee enough.)

Match Length: 30 minutes

Arena Size: 500 km diameter sphere.

Team Composition: 1 titan (required), 2 supercarriers (required), and up to 47 ships of any other type, built via a point-based system. All hulls are allowable.

Module Limitations: All modules (including cloaking devices,) except for cynos are allowable.

Build Points: I'm not going to go there. CCP is best suited to determine the points of the various hulls and ship types. Titans and supercarriers are required on each team, limited to a single titan and two supercarriers.

Beacons: Teams begin at a single beacon, 100 km from the sphere edge. Teams thus begin 300km from each other.

Rules: The usual. No leaving the arena. Any ships leaving the arena will be destroyed by the tournament referees.

Prize: Something worthwhile, since losing supercaps is a likely possibility. Perhaps a special tournament Titan, usable with any racial titan skill. Or a crapload of plex from the EVE Central Bank. Or perhaps seeding planets of the teams choice with technetium. Or renaming a system.

  1. I support this product and or service.

    Also, renaming a system would be cool.

  2. I would just bump the opponents team titan/scaps out of the arena. Just saying.

  4. Great idea, but I would not put an upper limit on the number of titans and supercarriers.

    You'd want to require that each team field AT LEAST one titan, but after that, let each team field as many titans/supercarriers as they are willing to risk losing.

    No-limit supercaps pretty much guarantees that someone is going to lose a supercap, whereas your format allows the greater possibility that no supercaps will actually be lost - esp. if you are only allowing 30 minutes for the match.
