Can August already be upon us? Let’s make this an August to remember with a Small Gang PvP Tournament. What do you need to do?
With your small gang team of 2 to 5 Uni members, wreak havoc across New Eden, sowing mayhem and destruction while doing as much damage as possible! Write a proper After Action Report (AAR) for each small gang roam. The only kills that count are those included in your AAR.

HOW TO ENTER YOUR TEAM
Entering a team into the competition is simple: One player on your team creates an individual post in the AAR forum with the title "[AAR][Small Gang Competition] <team name>".
This post should include:
- This is <team name’s> AAR thread for the August Small Gang PVP competition https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtop ... 4&t=124369 (this is so people can find the competition from your AAR thread)
- List of team members
- Any other information you’d like to share. Your team philosophy or goals. Or a chili recipe. OK, maybe not a chili recipe, but I do have a good one. You can either meet the basic contest requirements or you go the extra mile and enhance the your initial team entry over the course of the competition. Your call. HINT: if you want to talk about how your team bonded, developed tactics, became better pilots or anything like that, you might consider it because it counts for the Best AAR Thread prize.
Here is an example of an AAR thread from a previous Small Gang Tournament:

COMPETITION RULES
- The competition runs from 00:00EVE 1 August until 23:59EVE 31 August.
- AARs are the official documentation of your kills. To be eligible, AARs may submitted up until 3 September at 23:59EVE.
- EVE Uni events follow the Uni's standard rules of engagement, so this one will as well.
- Teams may be comprised of 2 to 5 players who are members of EVE University. Alts are allowed, but you can't be a fleet of me, myself and I for this.
- There is no limitation on ships except that you should fly only fly that which you are willing and can afford to lose.
- Each team creates a post of its own on the AAR forums titled [Small Gang Competition] <team name>, and updates the thread with AARs after each roam.
- At a minimum, the team's AAR must contain:
* A list of all roam members and the ships they flew.
* Links to all killmails and losses on zkillboard.com.
* Total kill and loss counts.
* The total ISK destroyed, lost, and delta.
* Please make sure that you mark ineligible kills and deduct those kills from your ISK totals
* For a kill to be eligible for the “Most successful kill while outnumbered and/or out-shipped” award, you must nominate the kills in your AAR. Please also include a brief description/explanation of the kill.
- Using your chat log after a fight, this AAR roam report tool
https://marnvermuldir.github.io/EveRoamReport/ will generate a forum ready post with everything that you need. It will even add links to the Zkill reports. It does require some editing, but it does the bulk of the work for you.
- It must be listed in your AAR
- It must include at least two team members (to maintain the team nature of this activity, but also by implication, you can fly with less than your full team)
- Team members must cumulatively account for more than 50% of damage applied by players. A good example would be the weird kills Zkill credits where someone you shot once or twice dies, but they died with the bulk of damage and killing blow being dealt by other player(s) in another system nine minutes after your ship died. NPC damage is not counted, so even if gate guns were 60% of the damage on your killmail, as long as you and one other teammate were more than 50% of player-caused damage, it is a good kill.
- Cannot be a kill mail for a corvette, pod, or shuttle
- Cannot be caused by friendly fire
- Cannot have other non-team Ivy League members on them unless you have four team members or fewer. In the case of four team members or less, you may include one non-team Ivy League member on the kill and still have it count (this is to encourage people to go out independently, rather than just join big fleets).
