=== 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.

* 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.
 
* 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.

===Rules and Procedure===
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.
* Pick a time that sees a lot of activity. Fridays at 19:00 EVE time are good for players in the EUTZ crowd. Times like 01:00 EVE time on a Saturday tend to be a good time for USTZ Unistas.
+
* If multiple arenas are in use, naming them is recommended. UFC often uses names of past hosts or significant locations in Uni history.
* 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.
* Want to just fight? You can hold an ad hoc Fight Club at any time. The UFC Arena bookmarks are available to everyone in EVE Uni. Fly out to the Octagon with a few friends or send a Discord ping to see if other Unistas want to join you.

UFC is a long-standing traditional event in EVE University that finds its roots in EVE University history.
