I wouldn't mind helping out on the judging thing!

Is it ok to submit a fight without using any of the fancy video editing software and just the pure un edited video, only i enjoy my pvp and will submit an entry but i wouldnt know where to start with actually making a proper video?
I do know how to live stream and record to fraps however.

Thanks in advance

Well, after writing the article about your contest, I decided to give it a shot myself.

I'm a bomber guy, so this sort of stuff is foreign to me, but I tried! The fight finally happens at 59:00 in this video: http://www.twitch.tv/bomberjayne/b/483270249

Made a few mistake: Not taking the exile booster, trying to kill drones with blasters (note to self, that doesn't work even while webbed), waiting way too long to cap inject, not switching back to ships overview after targeting drones.... that's about what I noticed I did wrong myself.

Got any other tips on how to improve?

Cheers, and I love the project.

You make it sound like you assume it's a 1v1 active tanked drawn out fight. How would the SFI ever kill anything by aggroing someone at 0km on a gate, unless he has friends the other side, or thought you'd jumped into him/isn't thinking such things through. And I didn't look if the cane was the same ticker/obviously friendly to the SFI, but I'd assume he's likely to come over & get involved.

Thanks for the tips guys! I'll give it another shot tonight.

Oh, and basically never warp to 0km on an unknown nullsec gate in a brawler. Try find a celestial in dscan range to take a peek from. If you'd hit a stop/drag bubble you could be miles off gate and longpointed by kiters. Sure if there's an interdictor & some decloak cans you might want to end up on a bubble edge with them trying to scram you so you have a chance at a shiny kill, but they shouldn't got for a brutix, more likely they'll cloak or kite you too.

Else, you could try the old: go somewhere safe, run reps & warp-cancel to non-aligned things to burn your cap down, then try & fail to warp the whole way to the gate to make a dscan spot. BM it, and let your cap regen before possibly getting into combat. It's a tedious process.
When you get to know an area, the locals, and make BMs you'll have to do this much less. Roaming it in an interceptor first could help a lot, even if you don't feel confident in a frig & avoid fights.

This is about solo combat ships

if you have no combat fleetmates

Nice initiative from our solo pvp ambassadors.

I'd like to ask two questions to them :

-Do i really smoke too much or the jury composition already changed ? i thought i have readen Darknesss into them, i don't see him anymore. Well, nevermind.

-it looks like you thought seriously to how you're gonna score the fights, with a lot of criterias. There is still one, that a mate of mine noticed smartly, which is determinant in solo fights : your opponents' level.

Let's take the extem opposites, for example. Fighting the Matari Exodus gang will be way more hard than fighting a lambda home defense gang in the depth of 0.0. Fighting the Ivy League 40 Beginners fleet, has nothing to see with fighting 40 RnK's.

Did you get the point ?

I'd be happy to know your position about this concept.


Some players of my corp are really interested in this contest. We just hope that Buhhdust Princess won't send us his cyno tengu dropping 30 black ops on our active tanked ships every time we'll undock them ;) . i doubt it would make an interesting video.

We dont hotdrop soloers, so if u are entering this competition, you will be safe :P best of luck mate :)
