Fight Club

EVE University Fight Club (UFC) is a solo PvP event primarily run at the Main Community campus in Stacmon.

The what

What is Fight Club? We take tech 1 frigates and mash them against each other in 1v1, Unista vs. Unista sanctioned duels for the enrichment and blood-sating of our members. Fight Club is a long-standing traditional event in EVE University that finds its roots in EVE University history. At one time, when EVE Uni was based in Aldrat, the Libold system was dedicated as a frigate free-for-all system for Unistas. Contemporary Uni Fight Club descends from that tradition.

The rules

• All fights are 1v1 in empire frigates (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar). You may bring your own dueling fit, but you are quite welcome to use free UFC-fitted frigates on contract in Stacmon.
• Fights are to 25% of structure, but a pilot may concede the fight at any time. Fights may be to the death of the ship by prior agreement.
• No podding!
• If you feel you are losing, try to warp off! If someone succeeds in escaping, the duel is a draw.
• Since people are allowed to escape, bring tackle mods if you want to kill anything!
• Fights will randomly start at 20km or 0km - nobody knows the starting range until you get there!

This is intended to be a live-fire exercise that is as realistic as possible. Learn what it takes to PvP like a low-sec hero!

What can I bring?

• Only Tech 1 empire frigates are allowed
• The ship may be outfitted with Tech 1 modules (meta 4 or below), and base Tech 1 drones, ammunition, and charges; the one exception being T2 Damage Control modules are allowed.
• No boosters

We're keeping things cheap to encourage participation, and evenly matched because the more even-handed the ships, the more your decisions and piloting matter, and the more you learn!

What takes place at Fight Club?

• EVE Uni Fight Club (UFC) uses a collection of corporation bookmarks in Slays to demarcate the fighting arena.
• There are two separate fighting grounds consisting of four arenas allowing up to eight simultaneous 1v1 contests. The arenas are named after Unistas who ran Fight Club in the past or named systems in null sec.
• Participants and Spectators warp to UFC The Octagon - Bleachers at the beginning of the event. The Bleachers are at the center of four arenas, serving both as a ready room and spectator area.
• The host will review the rules and procedures with everyone as well as answer questions.
• At the beginning of a round, the host asks for x-ups pilots who wish to compete in that round. The host then pairs contestants for that round and assigns them an arena to fight in, for example "Jack RipperJr Psychotic Ficikity CLOVER".
• With their arena assigned, the two participants approach the center bookmark of that arena, for example FISH Fight Club - Center bookmark.
• After verifying that everyone is aligning to their proper bookmark, the host counts down the fight (5, 4, 3, 2, 1...FIGHT)
• Each participant then warps to one of the three bookmarks (Red, Center, or Blue) in their arena at 0km. Combat commences upon upon exiting warp.
• After combat, the contestants discuss the fight and talk about their perspective on the fight, what they thought went well, and what could have gone better.

Want to run FC?

• Get in touch with a campus manager or coordinator and offer to run this week's Fight Club.
• Pick a time that sees a lot of activity, like 19:00 EVE time on a Friday for the EUTZ crowd or 01:00 EVE time on a Saturday for the USTZ crowd.
• Some event hosts also have a bowhead on an OOC alt stocked with T1 frigate fits to give out to participants who want them.
• The Fleet Support Program is a great way to help you get fitted ships on contract. They also have a nice form[2].
