<<< Baroness Jehanne had brought up the idea of changing one of the rapier
 tournements to a barrier tournement with the combatants. As several
 combatants voiced loud objection to doing this, the idea was dropped. 
 I think the barrier idea would have been interesting. I would like to 
 hear why the rapier fighters who opposed it, did so.

Greetings, 

Sir Daffyd Championed me on the light field as well as the heavy.  He was very
excited at the prospect of fencing over the barrier.  So we also are very
interested in knowing why there was such opposition to this ideal.  Some
fighters mentioned that it would take away thier mobility. I found that
statment abit confusing after watching the fighting,  many of the fighters I
watched didn't seem to move much at all. Actually, Daffydd bounced around more
than any of the other fighter.
.( perhaps this was because of his lack of experince in this fighting style).
Was it an safety issue?

Curious minds want to know,
Octavia
