=== What Takes Place at Fight Club? ===
+
===Fitting===
−
* EVE Uni Fight Club (UFC) uses a collection of corporation bookmarks in Slays to demarcate the fighting arenas.
 
−
* 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 <span style="color:#80BF00">UFC The Octagon - Bleachers</span> bookmark 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 from 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 "<span style="color:#80BF00;">'''Jack RipperJr, Psychotic Ficikity'''</span> '''CLOVER'''".
 
−
* With their arena assigned, the two participants approach the center bookmark of that arena, for example <span style="color:#80BF00">UFC 1 CION - Center</span> 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 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. Other players are welcome to add their insights and suggestions.

* Respect each other's surrenders
 
−
* There is a strict no podding rule in UFC.
 
−
* A pilot may warp off if they wish to end the engagement. By warping off, the duel finishes in a draw. Since pilots are allowed to escape, tackle mods are an essential part of a UFC fit.
 
−
* Fights will randomly start at 20km, 10km, or 0km - nobody knows the starting range until the pilots land.
 
  
 
This is intended to be a live-fire exercise that is as realistic as possible. Fight Club offers the opportunity to learn weapons systems, manual piloting techniques, tackling, and other practical PvP skills.

For pilots who choose to bring their own ships to UFC, Fight Club T1 frigate losses are fully reimbursable through the Uni's [[Ship Replacement Program]] (SRP). You can use this [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ikcn4r8U4FKu2s6AOooPckKcZP1NqrXWWKTcRRJfPEc/viewform form] to apply for SRP. Specifics are listed [[SRP#Special_Events|here]].

* Each arena consists of three bookmarks: Center, Red, and Blue. Red and Blue are positioned opposite each other, each 10km from the Center bookmark. Arenas must be at least 600km away from the Bleachers.

=== Want to Host Fight Club? ===
+
* The Bleachers bookmark serves as both a ready room and a spectator area.

* Get in touch with a [[EVE University Management|community manager or coordinator]] and offer to run a session of Fight Club. You will get help understanding what you need to do for production orders, scheduling, and promotion of your event.

* The number of arenas should match the desired number of simultaneous fights. Traditionally, UFC employs four arenas with the Bleachers at the center and each arena positioned equidistantly more than 600km away in one of the "compass directions" provided by the tactical overlay.

* Schedule the event and have fun.  
+
* The host starts a fleet for Fight Club for both participants and spectators as well as ensuring all fleet members have access to the bookmark folder.

EVE University Fight Club (UFC)

In EVE University Fight Club, pilots in Tech 1 frigates engage in 1v1, Unista vs. Unista sanctioned duels for the enrichment and blood-sating of our members.

UFC 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 and continues this EVE University tradition.
