Merlin with 2 MSE and purger rigs will easily beat everything else.

Start 20km from center container (Placed at start of tourny).
Don't go 50km outside of the center container.
No warping out.
Fight to the death.

so ... what t1 frigates could rock in this kind of tourney , and with what setup ? I was thinking of a Merlin ... or maybe the obvious Rifter ? Hmmmm

---

Dramiel.

It gives a fat 100% bonus, that makes 2 artilleries hit like 4, out doing the Rifter.

Plus, you can actually tank it.

Is it one-on-one, or free-for-all?
In one-on-one fights in M.Corp Academy, we had a few types that worked well:

1. Rifters or Merlins with warp scrams and webs who could get in close.
2. Kestrels with the speed to stay out of range and lob missiles from afar.
3. Griffins with a good pilot, but you may need Thermodynamics to break the enemy tank.

Other ships won battles, of course. Skills, overheating, and the rock-paper-scissors effect all make a huge difference. But for my part the three ideas above are good bets.

Note that if the rules stipulate starting at 0km, things are different, and it's all Rifter vs Rifter stuff.

When we had our tournaments, if I recall correctly, we picked a particular planet as the battle site, and combatants were allowed to choose for themselves what at what distance they warped, and from which direction, so you couldn't predict starting range.

in the rules we had no warp out , so nn warp scram unless you wanna null their possible MWD advantage , also i like your idea with planet warp , because with that known starting range some frigs could have few volleys advantage :)

You need shield upgrades V and AWU IV to fit it without any implants.

Edit: If you don't have Shield Upgrades V...

Has fairly similar stats to the first fit. Just remember to overheat your hardener at the beginning of the fight.

This fit operates on the same principle as the Dual-Web Hookbill. Since you don't need a warp scram this would be able to keep any frigate pinned at 10km which is right at the edge of the falloff of a rifter with barrage. Any frigates with blasters would be screwed and those with autos would have less EHP and DPS than you at that range.
