In period, didn't the ladies judge the tourney and choose men (one or
more) to honor?

Is it off-topic for the Ansteorran list to ask why *in general* there
has to be one (1) winner in a tourney?  I suspect it's often an axiom:
you may choose to believe it or not, and see what results you get.
(One of *my* axioms is that *other things being equal* period is
better, so which would argue against having one winner.)

Of course, I exclude cases such as this where the object of a tourney
*is* specifically to choose one person: Crown tourney and warlord
tourneys, as examples.
