Nope, the Worthies were the same from event to event. And, yes, the 
event was patterened very closely around period tournaments...

That was the case....

>If you want to bring back Worthies as it was ---- a tournament based 
upon

Yes...this is the case. To possibly bring back the Tournament of the 
Worthies as it was... With all the pomp and ceremony possible.

>If your wanting to simply use the titles.... I can't support it.

Honestly neither could I.......
