I do quite fancy another format myself aswell, although the last one was amusing enough.
How about 5v5 frigate matches, last man standing wins? 5v5 Cruiser? 10v10? The thing that makes this more interesting, imho, is the focus will be less on tanking. We all saw what happened last tournament - long standoffs because teams failed to break the BS and/or BC tanks. Frigates cant tank, so surviving comes down to teamwork and skill.
Slight bias ofcourse since i prefer flying frigates myself.

More ideas for format, i know some were brought up at earlier tournaments but im going to say it anyway.
1) More then 2 teams fighting at a time. Maybe 5-6, with a drawing that isnt released untill the people are /TRed to the actual battlefield, to avoid teams teaming up. Free for all, last man standing.
2) Slightly larger team matches, say 10-15 a team, fighting in a system. So, not just the old single grid fights, but fights spread out over a system. Would have to be a slightly modified system (smaller then usual), and no safespots allowed. Team with most kills wins? A capture the flag type of idea would work too, where points are awarded for being at a specific place x minutes.
3) Staying with the old format, but different teams. For example, instead of 1 of each shiptype, allow more smaller ships. I mean, in any serious combat situation, would you go with one of each shiptype? No, you'd go with a battleship, 1-2 BCs, a few cruisers and several frigates. You could allow teams to make their own format. Give each shiptype a number of points, and allow team a number of points to be used on ships. Needs a max number of pilots though, to stop people just bringing 20 snake implanted interceptors, killing the other sides frigate and then running off.
I understand some of these might be too hard to organise though, or limited in some other fashion. However you could consider doing them as 'side events'? Main event being the same concept as last time, but have a side event with just the frigate pilot from each team in a free-for-all match for example? Id like to see 50 frigates going at it.
