I will now explain this as clearly as I can.
#1
Go to a suitable low traffic 0.6 or 0.5 system.
Bring with you a number of small secure cans and all the stuff you need to fight.
#2
Create an arena with the cans, best places for arenas are in empty grids just off stations, simply scout out the grid edges close to a station and secure a can close to the edge on the station side, name it arena entrance.
In the new grid you set upp some cans to form the arena.
The cans will mark starting points for the participants so make sure you have plenty of distances set out and dont place all in a circle or line.
If you want to get fancifull you can set upp the arena at a moon, the moon backdrop is nice and you can anchor a POS there for additional terrain.
Make sure you have bookmarks for all the starting points.
#3
It is now time to bring in the participants.
Simply invite people in and set upop whatever rules you wish to use.
To be able to fight without concord simply have the participants drop a jetisoned can with enough items in to allow all the oponents to "steal" one item, I suggest somthing small and cheap, S ammo perhaps, whatever will do as its the aggro flagging you are after.
Once everyone involved in the fight has "stolen" and been flagged then the fighting can start.
I estimate setting the whole thing upp (except POS) would take at most a few hours and once in place its as permanent as any can art.
My guess is that you could with some effort make it a buisness, set upp weekly fights for players with divisions.
1v1 frigg fights
5v5 frigg fights
1v1 cruiser fights
3v3 cruiser fights
7v7 BS fights
and naturally the sunday afternoon special free for all.
Simply charge a fee for entry and ask for isk donations for spectators, if you manage to get it rolling I suspect you can soon start with rankings, betting... possibly even get a few CCP created terrain features to make the fields more interesting.
Im not sure how grids fit together but if they fit together as cubes then a spectator spot can easilly be crated that has 8 arenas within just a few hundred km's.
Its actually rather odd that noone has made this their thing in eve, I know there is a demand for it :)
