Round robin judging isn't new, but it struck me that it could be used to
good effect as a teaching/learning situation. I don't think we are going to
rid the universe of the A&S competition. Too many people like to compete
and it has become an integral part of the SCA wars. That being the case,
giving people a taste of both sides of the competition seems to be a good
thing. I don't know if the idea is workable, but since I'm carping about
A&S competitions, I'll pay for the privilege by offering any suggestions I
can think of for their improvement. Hopefully, some one can make use of
them.
