Assault Frigate Love #2 - Expanded!

At this time, I have received 9 entrance fees. With the Tournament still being quite a while off (13 days and counting), I estimate that there will be at least 16 participants due to several people telling me that they will attend but not sending me the entrance fee..yet anyway.

Anyway, here are the Expanded Rules of the Assault Frigate Tournament!

General Rules about the Tournament

Before the fight:

- In order to participate in the tournament, you must have sent me your entrance fee of 10M no later than midnight Eve Time on Wednesday 15th of September.
 
- You must be docked in Hevrice V station at 19:00 Eve Time on Saturday 18th of September.
 
- You must be logged into Tusker Ventrilo at 19:00 Eve Time on Saturday 18th of September as instructions will be given verbally. Having your microphone plugged in and switched on is not a necessity, but is a big plus. Ventrilo details are given towards the end of this post.

- Your assault frigate must be combat ready by 19:00 Eve Time on Saturday 18th of September. Your AF must abide to the rules listed below.

- You must be in my fleet by 19:00 Eve Time on Saturday 18th of September.

- When your name is called out, you must proceed to undock, warp to a random celestial of your choice and then warp to the referee at a range of your choice, up to 50km. Once you land, you must not move until the match is underway.

- If the station is being camped, an instant-undock will be provided to you. Warp to it, then warp to a random celestial of your choice and then warp to the referee at a range of your choice, up to 50km. Once you land, you must not move until the match is underway.

- A countdown to the match will be given both verbally over Ventrilo as well as in Fleet chat. Once the countdown finishes, the match is underway!

During the Fight:

- The match lasts 10 minutes.

- You must stay within 50km of the referee at all times otherwise you will be disqualified and considered KO'd.

- Dropping a jetcan during the fight is not allowed.

- If a winner has not been decided by the 10th minute, the radius of the arena will shrink by 10km every minute beyond the 9th minute. A warning will be given, both verbally on Ventrilo and also in Fleet chat.

- If a winner still has not been decided by the 14th minute, both pilots will be knocked out.

- You are not permitted to podkill your opponent.

After the Fight: 
 
- Once the match is over, the winner is declared, who is allowed to loot the loser's wreck.

- Immediately afterwards, the winner must dock back at Hevrice V station until his name is called out again. This time allows you to restock up on ammunition, cap boosters and drones as well as use the station repair service.

- Please note that this is a single-elimination tournament so if you lose one match, you are knocked out of the tournament.

- The loser must also dock up in Hevrice V station.

Rules about Fitting your Assault Frigates

- Meta 0 to Meta 5 modules are allowed to be fitted to your Assault Frigate. Typically, Meta 5 modules are T2 versions so T2 guns etc. are allowed.

- This means that Deadspace and Faction modules are not allowed.

- T2 rigs are allowed but an additional 5M per T2 rig fitted to your ship must be sent to Suleiman Shouaa as part of your entrance fee. 

- Combat Boosters are not allowed. 

- Hardwirings are allowed, as well as any pirate implants.

- Faction ammunition is allowed, as well as faction cap booster charges. T2 ammunition is also allowed.

- ECM is not allowed, including but not limited to ECM Drones.

- You must use the same vessel for each of your fights, with no chances to fitting between each match.

- You are allowed to change your drones between each match as they are not considered part of your "fitting".
