Ok everyone, it's finally done. The PPE frigate tournament is now open and excepting pilots! For those who have been following this tournaments development the rules and regulations are almost exact to those discussed in the previous thread, for those who have found this tournament for the first time the rules of the tournament are stated below in another of my posts.
This tournament is looking to attract many pilots and be a great event for all with great sums ok isk up for grabs. I'd like to thank everyone who put foward their ideas and support in helping PPE set this tournament up, the eve public have been amazing and must be thanked for getting this and all other following events run by PPE up and running.
Everything you need to know about the tournament including how to enter are listed below. Enjoy

Catagories:
This tounament is a Open PvP frigate tournament, the word 'Open' implies that everyone is free to enter.
1st The catagories:
The catagories are based on charactor age to provide a fair competition for players of all levels.
0-3months T1 frigates,
3+ - 6months T1 frigates,
6+ months - 1year T1 frigates,
1+ year - Open T1 frigates,
6+ months - 1year T2 frigates,
1+ year - Open T2 frigates,
Faction ships are classed as T1.
These catagories hopefully allow all players of any level to compete and not be overwhelmed by their opponents Skill Points.
- In the catagories comprising of charactors no greater than six months in age you will see no Tier 2 frigates may be used. This is because most players of this age are unable to use T2 frigs or if so, not well. This means that any char of 5 months that trained to go straight to Assault Ships will have too much of an advantage over other players. Also disallowed in those catagories are interceptors although faction frigates are allowed if any char of that age has managed to get their hands on one and is willing to fly it.
General Rules:
- The tournament works on a knockout system
- No podding
- The loot goes to the winner
- Electronic Warfare (EW) is allowed however later tournaments may differ.
- There is no other module restrictions, if you want to risk a faction mod then you do so at your own risk
- Faction ships can be used and count as T1 ships
- T1 ship catagories allow T2 modules. If uve trined to use it then u shall not be penalazied
- NO T2 ammo is to be used in any catagory as not everyone has access to it. All ships will be scanned before each duel, anyone caught with T2 ammo will be destroyed and forfeight the tournament.
Entry fee and Prizes:
The entry fee for each catagory is different to allow all players to be able to compete, younger characters pay less for their respective catagories however they also have smaller prize pools. Each catagory has it's own prize pool.
0-3months T1, - 1,000,000
3+ - 6months T1, - 4,000,000
6+months - 1year T1 - 8,000,000
1+ year - open T1 - 14,000,000
6+months - 1year T2 - 16,000,000
1+ year - open T2 - 24,000,000
The reason for the high entry fees that have been suggested by the eve public and now implimented is that the isk prizes are related to this fee as is shown below.
Prizes:
The Prizes are based on the entry fee. this is the formula they follow, all catagories are the same.
1st Prize 50% of total entry fee payed
2nd Prize 25% of total entry fee payed
3rd Prize 15% of total entry fee payed
The other 10% will be used for running costs and to pay for the police force that has been hired to protect all participating pilots, This is a very small cut, as this is not a revenue raising tournament.
For example lets take the '1+ year - open T1 - 14,000,000' catagory. say 25 people enter that gives that catagory a total prize pool of 350 Million, The 10% is then deducted which is taken for expenses leaving 315 Million as the total prize pool
1st Prize is then 50% of 350M = 175Million
2nd Prize is 25% of 350M = 87.5Million
3rd Prize is 15% of 350M = 52.5Million
Obviously the more entries the bigger the prize pool so ultimatley we want to attract as many people as we can.
Also on the side, each duel that a player wins they take the opposing players surviving modules as part of their total prize pool, this may in cases add significantly to a players winnings. As for future tournaments where Battle Ships and gangs are involved, the winning player/s may even earn more winning through the modules collected. This also means players who do not recieve a isk related prize may still recieve a form of winnings.

The Arena:
The eve public along with the PPE staff have decided they don't agree with the start at 60k theory or set distance as it advantages some players to much, it has been agreed a more random system would make for a more tactical tournament whilst also being more fair to certain ship types and pilots. This is what has been decide upon by the PPE staff and the eve community.
Using secure cans a grid is layed out as the basis for the arena, (this hopefuly should come together as you keep reading). The grid below is a top view of the grid to be layed out as the basis for the arena, forget the points outside the arena and the line down the middle as they shall be explained later. The fullstops in the grid forget they are just to keep the shape of the grid, i've found when posting this file earlier that the grid colapses without them. The 'o' represents a bookmarked can.
...........................................o... o. I .o ...o
.....................................o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o
................................o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o
..........................o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o
....................o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o
..............o... o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o
..............o... o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o......o.... P2S
P1S..o.....o... o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o
..............o... o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o
....................o... o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o ...o
..........................o... o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o ...o
................................o... o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o ...o
.....................................o... o... o. I .o ...o ...o
...........................................o... o. I .o ...o
For the above grid:
The line running down the middle is simply to show the half way mark of the arena and this is how it is used. P1 and P2 are points warp distance away from the arena each of the dueling players is sent to one. also each 'can' that comprises the arena is 5km way from any other can. Each can is also bookmarked with a specific number and letter (for example A1 or G7). The player at P1 is given every bookmark on the right half of the arena (using the diagram) and P2 given the bookmarks to the left half, each player will also be given a map showing where each bookmark will place them in the arena.
The players then choose a bookmark and warp to within 15k, this leaves both players anywhere from 40km apart to right on top of each other! In larger tournaments involving larger ships the grid will be increased to allow bigger max distances that players can start at whilst still also having the chance of ending up right on top of each other! Both players have 1 min to decide where they are warping to then they in respective convo boxes tell a specific PPE organiser which bookmark they are using so that when they warp in the PPE organiser can make sure they warped to within 15k of thier specified bookmark. This prevents people from warping to 60km of a bookmark and allowing a huge range gap between themselves and their opponent. Once the jump is complete and both players have entered the arena the borders are no longer in exsistance, players may fly where they wish although warping is obviously not allowed. (anyone who warps around will be tackled and destroyed by the police force)

How the tournament is run:
This details how events will procede in the tournament.
All participating pilots will be docked or out in 'Kari' the neighbouring 0.6 system to avoid lag for the dueling players. (You can be anywhere you want if you havn't been called into Y-MPWL however the tournament will not wait for you and if you are late you will automatically forfeight, however as stated below you will be given prior notice to your duel starting)
Each Pilot will join the channel ' PPE pilots' 1 hour before the tournament is due to begin, they will also be required remain in this channel for the duration of the tournament. Most announcements will come in this channel incuding which catagory is up.
Pilots participating in the catagory underway will join the chat channel 'PPE current' and from this channel pilots will be called into Y-MPWL (the host system) to prepare for their duel, pilots shall be called in 3 duels before there own.
Once pilots are called in to the system and enter, they shall be scanned for illegal ammo and identified at the gate before being gang warped to the arena viewing points where they can watch the current duel. These points will be highly policed and any interference with the duel shall condone your ship being destroyed! all players at these viewing points must join the channel 'PPE holding' from here they shall be called to the points P1 and P2 relavent to the arena grid, they will then be told to join the channels either 'PPE 1' or 'PPE 2' and be sent their bookmarks. Everything else shall be explained in game in these channels.
WHEN YOU ARE TOLD TO ENTER 'Y-MPWL' YOU MUST BE IN YOUR TOUNAMENT FRIGATE!!!
If you have any questions remember you can always eve-mail me or join the channel 'PPE'.
OK guys, I hope everyone enjoys themselves and I'm really looking foward to hosting this tournament along with the rest of the PPE staff. I'm sure you shall all enjoy yourselves as this tournament has been under planning for a long time. Thanks to everyone who has helped and I hope your all ready for a fantastic tournament!
One last thing, feel free to bring another ship down into Kari just remember it wont be allowed to enter the tournament system. Cheers all

Guys a 40+ BS police force has been hired for the protection of everyone envolved. hope that eases some worries.
Also anyone looking to interupt this tournament shall not only automatically call down more BS support but become an enemy of ccp as a post by Nebulai, a game master has stated in the top thread in events. In that thread he details that public events are not to be interupted. As well you may end up forging a war with any players, corps or alliances that have participated in this event. The PPE staff would like to say that this tournament is desigend for player enjoyment though and onflict will be avoided if possible. This tournament is to liven up Eve, so lets make this enjoyable for everyone.
Cheers everyone

==============================================
I only have 2 questions

Yes mate Interceptors are allowed in the T2 catagories!!!
AND ANY GATE CAMPING WILL BE DELT WITH BY AN 80man BS FLEET! ALSO ANYONE WHO INTEREFERES WITH THIS TOURNAMENT WILL HAVES THEIR ASS ON A PLATE BY CCP! if the tourn is cancelled last minute due to people interfering all players will be 100% refunded. Also players enter the system in small groups after the police force is there so there is no risk of loosing ur ship 90% of players will be docked in a neighbouring system.

How are you basing your ages? Is it by strict character DOB, or # of active months? If the character's date of birth is the only consideration, you are effectively locking many players out of any chance of winning this tournament, and imposing unfair entrance fees on relatively new characters. I, for instance, have a character DOB of September 22, 2004. Is my character over 1 year old? Heck no. My account has only been active for 5 months of the 16 months from then until now. Thus would be forced to pay an unreasonably high entrance fee, and would have to compete with pilots far out of my league. So that I, and other players like myself, could compete, I suggest that you use a skillpoint-based qualification system, or base age on the number of purchased months of Eve-Online.

True, same problem here .. also , You might have to find another way to enter Y-MPWL as undocking and warping to the Y-MPWL gate in the .6 system can be tricky if you have a poor sec status (no prob in a shuttle, RISKY TO DO THIS IN AN EXPENSIVE SHIP : NPCs can get you if you lagg on undocking), even with an insta  . Unless you dont want pirates to compete ?

No for players without low security statis they can enter Y-MPWL thorugh a 0.6 system for those with a low sec statis they can enter through a 0.0 system they are the two systems that conect to Y-MPL players of low sec statis will have to wait in the neighbouring 0.0 very easy mate.

Thanks so much everyone for your interest you have all been fantastic!
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!
Not only does more pilots make the tournament more fun and have bigger prizes but I have to gain a certain amount of pilots before the police force can be payed, ill explain. the only isk that doesnt go into the prize pool goes to the police force for their trouble and services, however that is only a small 5% of the entry fees as i want most to go to the prize pool. So in order for there to be enough isk to pay them properelly we need as many pilots as we can get. I will state this now however. If for any reason and i mean any the tourn does not go ahead or is delayed all pilots will recieve 100% of their isk back!!! no questions. If the tournament is delayed then it will re open when we have enough pilots. People will have to re-apply if they want to still be in the tournament. This is because I dont want to have to hold on to peoples hard earned iskies while they wait, ill just send it back and you can join again if the new date suits you. However at the moment everything is looking good but we still need more pilots there is 10 days left to apply!!! let everyone know! hehe.
Ok guys thanks again, peace out. Contact me if u have any questions.
Signed: Johnny

the faction mods thing feks the whole thing up
a harpy with 2x gistii small shield boosters and a EM hardener can pretty much tank any other frig in game.
then u have the EW rule, ROFLAMO this a funney one.
fear of a damp ull need to fit a sensor booster, fear of a tracking desrupter u have to fit a tracking comp/enhancer.
two odd rules keep me out of this competition. should be only t1, named or t2. and the starting distance should be 15km since this is average gate range. NO EW of any kind should be permitted. Those are similar rules to the recent caldari competition.
with ur rules id take in a harpy with 2 gistii boosters, 1 sensor booster, 1 webber comp, 1 dmg mod, 1 tracking enhancer. no frig can break its tank unless useing nos in which case its gona take a lot of damage geting into range and a lot of damage while webbed
a set of low or high grade crystals and other turret implants = i win

Johnathan - there seems to be a communication problem here. Is it that you cannot read my inquiry, or do you simply refuse to? In case you never saw it, I will repost the it here. This is the THIRD time I have asked. This tournament has great customer service
Originally by: Tombozo
How are you basing your ages? Is it by strict character DOB, or # of active months? If the character's date of birth is the only consideration, you are effectively locking many players out of any chance of winning this tournament, and imposing unfair entrance fees on relatively new characters. I, for instance, have a character DOB of September 22, 2004. Is my character over 1 year old? Heck no. My account has only been active for 5 months of the 16 months from then until now. Thus would be forced to pay an unreasonably high entrance fee, and would have to compete with pilots far out of my league. So that I, and other players like myself, could compete, I suggest that you use a skillpoint-based qualification system, or base age on the number of purchased months of Eve-Online.

ok Tombozo, here it is for the last time.
The reason that we are not basing the catagories on Skill Points is as follows
1, I dont want 50+ pilots having to send me screen shots which i have to carefully examine to make sure none have been put through photoshop or any other editors to change the numbers.
2, Also to make sure that the screen shots are recent I would have to tell each charactor to put something specific in their screen shot for instance a open tab detailing a merlin, this shows me that the screen shot has been taken now and not prior to the event.
3, I will say that Skill Points would be great however people can cheat very easily this way and I don't wan't that. I'm sorry for your situation however I can't make this perfect for everyone, I hope you understand I'm doing this for the majority of people.
Hope that answers your question mate.
Signed: Johnny

ATTENTION ALL!
THERE HAS BEEN A RULE CHANGE!!
- NO faction modules allowed
Faction ships are still allowed however.
This change is due to everwhelming public response and thus the change has been made. Any player who wishes to cancel their entry because of this may eve-mail me and recieve a full refund of their isk! Also if more low sec players don't enter the tournament it shall be moved to a 0.5 system allowing greater protection. Currently only 1 low sec player has entered if 4 more aren't recieved within 48 hours it shall be changed. I shall notify this change on this thread. With the move to a 0.5 system flagging will be used.
Also for those asking there are 23 players entered, I need 50 to run the tournament effectively.
Hope these changes help out the majority of players. Thank you everyone for your input it is greatly appreciated.
Signed: Johnny

OK due to public demand there is now no EW !!!!!
- EW disallowed
Again if you wish to pull out due to this you may ask for a full refund!!! I'm sorry for the changes. I did run a thread asking people to exprees their views on matters such as these however EW was wanted, now there is a change so as this tournament is based around public opinion there is now no EW allowed.
For those wanting to know the participants there is 29 however if you don't enter because of numbers then the numbers will never go up! remember once the tournament applications close then I shall detail the amount of participants in each catagory! You are still elligable to pull out at this stage and recieve a full refund of your isk!!!
So apply, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
Don't wait for others you may pull out up to 24hours after the tournament applications close, you will attract more participants if you enter yourselves and help spread the word.
Also if someone could detail how this arena could be used with flagging in the tournament if setup in a 0.5 system please post this or contct me by eve-mail or in game as no new enteries have come in by low sec players so far.
Thanks again for your time and effort everyone you are all making this tournament better for all players, it's looking to be a really good event! Cheers

Ikvar. If your not entering this tournament then save your time and everyone elses and post somewhere else.
As for your 8 raven comment all I can say is I hired a 80+ BS merc corp to police the event If it's held in a 0.5 system that won't be neccasary as concord will do the job fine. But thanks for your concern and sarcastic comments, this thread is desigend for players to ask questions about the rules and suggest improvements. As for the ccp comment that was based on the sticky at the top of the events catagory of threads. You sound like you know it all so prove it and join and we'll see if you can back up your sarcasm with some actual PvPing otherwise don't post cause no one wants to read your crap, people just want to see rule updates and the lattest updates and announcements.

Decided your 80 man BS fleet wasn't enough eh? 
Also, the sticky about events is about events run buy the ISD Aurora team, not players.
And finally, I won't be entering seeing as your rules and prizes are rubbish and... well to be honest 1v1 frig tournaments = meh  .

Ok so now that no EW is allowed, does that also eliminate Webbifiers as they fall under the EW catagory.

I don't understand, No electronic warefare? Isn't that what makes the game dynamic. Other than that it's just blasting each other till someone pops right. No webs? no sensor jams? cmon please explain this to me.

Ok a few thing to mention guys.
1: To the person who stated that 1 Vs 1 frig tournament = meh. The reason for this is we wanted to try this tournament design with less expensive ships first also we wanted to built a good relationship with the eve public by starting small instead of saying "hey BS tournament, put your BS in the hands of us and hopefully we'll look after it" instead we are showing players that we can be trusted and that they are not just throwing their isk away on some fraud. Also the reason for the move to a 0.5 system was because we only had one entry from a player who couldnt enter a 0.5 so all the other participants will benefit from better security, it also means I dont have to pay that BS fleet which was expensive very expensive.
2, EW, I personally wanted EW really bad i believe it is a important part of the game and I think it adds depth but this tournament is designed to benefit the majority so unfortunately that means that there's no EW as most players wanted it out.
3, these modules arn't classed as EW, webberfiers, nos, enegry neuts etc. Pretty much it means no stopping ur player from locking on or delaying them from locking.
Hope that clears up some stuff guys. Enjoy, thanks for all your feed back, it's much appreciated.

Yeah but if this is a contest of skills, then some of my time has gone into skill training EW, so technically, not being able to use it puts me at a handicap, so then it no longer stays a contest of skill. And look, the majority of people who want to enter, want EW in, and no EW is turning more people away. Listen to the people man.

I support the tourney, whatever the rules are. It'll still be a challenge no matter what... Besides Plis, it's not like there are people in the game EXCLUSIVELY trained to use frigs. I think just about everyone has some side skills that won't be used.

What is the differance between 6-1y and 1y+ when it comes to ships? :)
one states T2 frigs and the other states Open T2 frigs... imho that is the same thing, no? :)
Besides.. T2 ammo is widely spread and available for all so I don't see why that should not be allowed, but hey :)

BTW: If open includes interdictors there is no real need to enter the open T2 class unless you have one.
It should have been one class for AF, one for inty, one for bomber, one for t1 frigs, one for destroyers and one for interdictors.

HEY GUYS!
Let me start;: my appologies to everyone I just got back today. I checked my alt and a few more entries came in that I hadnt replied to i'm very sorry let me explain.
Yesterday my mother past away from cancer, I'm 19 so it's taken a bit out of me and I had to go up to the mountains for 2 days to cremate her and spread her ashes. I'm very sorry I havn't been around I hope you understand.
Ok the bad news. even with all the new entries included we only have 42 participants out of the min 50 I was looking for. This means that some catagories dont have enough participants in them and can't be properly. This is really unfortunate as I really wanted to do this and even though my siruation isn't great at the moment I had no intentions of letting anyone down, however with that many paticipants some catagories don't have the numbers needed I would have liked 100 but 50 would be ok.
SO heress what I'm doing.
Tommorow I am refunding everyone 100% of their isk and you will recieve a message from me stating some other things as well and a personal apology as I know many of you were looking foward to this tournament as was I. However I will keep ypur entry mail and leave the tournament 'pending'.
What this means is anyone can now apply for the tournament, don't send your isk just notifaction that yu want to participate. When the numbers hit around 60 - 70 I will notify all participants that the tournament has the correct number of people and notify everyone that if they want in again at the new specified date and 0.5 system that they can send in their entry fee and the tournament will go ahead!
So thats my plan at the moment if you guys have any other suggestions please let me know I'm all open to anything anyone has to say and I'M VERY SORRY FOR THE INCOVENIENCE EVERYONE!!!!!! So I hope you guys can forgive me I will refund your isk tommorow as I just got home from the funeral drove back from the mountains and it's 2am so I need some sleep hehe.
So thanks everyone for your support, I'll keep looking for more participants and we shall get this tournament running! just to let u know it will always be help on a saturday. Thanks again everyone and my apologies.
Cheers
