My guess would be that they are simply about 5-10 time easier to put on well, 
I shared an office with Sir Pendaren when he and his lady love were
preparing to host Ladies Tournement of Chivalry, and the amount of work they
put into it was substatnially more that a regular "play-off" tourney... well
worth it of course, but it was without a doubt a Tourney of love for them
both...

I'm still gladly impressed thay BjornsBorg is able to do it year after
yaer... perhaps they should be renamed the "Barony of Love".. or would that
be misconstrued ;)
