I think having more period-like tournaments than the standard double-elimination
tornaments is a wonderful idea.

For those who might like to consider putting on such tournaments perhaps
these files in the COMBAT section of my Florilegium might be of interest:

tournaments-art   (36K)  8/16/95    Articles on doing more authentic SCA 
                                         tournaments by Arval.

Along similar lines, there have been some conversations on this list about
list mistressing/ministering. If anyone has written any articles on how to
run and manage lists, I'd be interested in adding your article to the
Florilegium so that others can learn about this. You keep the copyright and
I will update or even remove an article upon a request by the author.
