It will depend on the organizer.  The first Empress Arianna tournament
had few restrictions and allowed up to 50% of all total ships could be
of a single class (Escort, Cruiser, Capital).  Learning from that
tournament,
I imposed further design constraints requiring a flagship of Mass 48 or
greater, the 50% rule, and limits on fighter groups and missiles for the
current tournament.  I have been pleased with the fleet designs and
variations.
