From the desk of Lord Hanse Kleermaker:

For those gentles interested in the book for Saturday's Crown Tourney the
odds are as follows...

>
>
> 6:1 Duke Aaron MacGregor - a trick knee has harassed His Grace previously;
> is he healthy and healed enough for the slick ground?
> 12:1 Earl Daffyd Whitacre - Octavia has him on special kibble and has
> threatened "toe torture" if she doesn't go home with a new hat.
> 8:1 Count Romanius Vesperanius - Martian helmet? check. Lucky pouch?
> check. Hot consort?  CHECK!
> 12:1 Count Owen ap Aeddan - the longer tourney format does not favor the
> Bearded Bully... but the colder weather could offset that.
>4:1 Count Lochlan "Pudge" Dunn - rumors of a donut overdose abound but
> he's still the front runner
> 15:1 Viscount Eldrid Wolfsguard - Heralds are giddy about figuring out
> where his rank goes in the OP.  But he is a tough little lizard...
> 20:1 Sir Rhodri ap Gwythyr -  Fighting with the same stone axe used to
> knight him.  May be banned from tourney for testing positive for Ensure.
> 18:1 Sir Godwin of Edington - Marshallate firm on "no flint weapon tips"
> rule; hurts his odds considerably.
> 10:1 Sir Randall der Krieger - Hill Giant of Rockdale SMASH!!  Slick
> conditions keep him out of the finals.
> 10:1 Sir Kenneth MacQuarrie of Tobermory - Adding more armor to the
> classic sword-and-filk style.  May sink in mud if the weather is bad enough.
> 12:1 Sir William Cameron de Blakstan - rumors still abound regarding My
> Pretty Pony sponsorship meltdown and copyright infringement.  Paparazzi
> constantly interfering with his training.
> 6:1 Syr Yfsael Bryndu - Hitting harder than ever. Only man in list that
> can bruise opponents via twitter. Working hard on new "Rock Troll" style.
> 15:1 Sir Modius von Mergentheim - tragic fashion accident with new "tea
> length" waffenfrock hurts his odds for this tournament.
> 8:1 Sir Morgan Blackdragon - Finally taking it seriously; hasn't missed
> zumba or pilates in over six weeks.
> 20:1 Centurion Damon Xanthus - Odds have gone up since he started training
> with the Shake Weight.
> 30:1 Centurion Rikr Foetipper - Not having incredible success with "beer
> and swagger" style.
> 30:1 Centurion Wayland of Durloch - style vulnerable to thrusting tips
> especially on a slick field.  Look for better odds in the summer crown
> tourney.
> 25:1 Centurion Angus Gunn - bringing minstrels to play Bocephus during his
> bouts.  Bumps odds up.
> 35:1 Centurion Cathal Finn O'Brien - Last week clearly showed that the
> Irish can't win.
> 35:1 Centurion Geoffrey de Gournay - But neither can the French.  (HRM
> excepted, of course)
> 30:1 Centurion Alexander Marcellus - secret "don't get hit" strategy
> leaked.  Element of surprise ruined.
> 12:1 Centurion Kira no Takuan - Voltron.  Sponsored by Taco Bell.
> 5:1 Centurion Sven Randalson -  Odds get even better if Marshallate will
> finally let him throw tennis ball spells. Possible spoiler for Count Pudge.
> 30:1 Centurion Peter MacIntyre - training from the southern dynasty.
>  Stand in front of him and you'll die nasty, too.
> 22:1 Centurion Maelgwyn Dda - Heraldic conspiracy to foil his chances;
> they hate the whole cheating-at-Scrabble "Welsh" thing.
> 30:1 Warder Kristoff Fugger von Augsburg - Length of name would
> significantly extend courts if he wins; all fighters gunning for him.
> 25:1 Lord Lucas mor mac Raghnaill - Style change bumps odds: "Hit Other
> Man First" considered wise strategy by most.
> 30:1 Lord Jason Drysdale - FEAR LORD JASON!
> 30:1 Brutus Augustus Decimus - Won "Pretentious Roman Name" award for the
> third time but doubtful that it will help in round one on Saturday.
