I found THIS hammered up on the Kingdom posting board.  For shame, you
informers and gamblers!  For shame!

   Contestant Consort Odds Notes
 Fiacha the Blue
Wentiliana of Bryn Gwlad 45:1
Not enough practice hours in the last three months.  Popular entrant and a
People's Pick but the betting men are saying first round.
 JeanMarc D’Anjou Jocelyn D’Anjou 55:1 Ironclad melee group representative
will need a leeeeetle bit more mobility.  Out in the first.  Wayland of
Durlach   Joanna the Spinner 30:1 Wayland won't take it all home but he
will ruin someone's day.  Third round.  Miguel de Oporto   Conal Alexandria
O'Riordain 15:1 Although the Prancing Pride of Portugal isn't favored,
Mister Smackey is the PERFECT foil for the Randalson style.  Spectators,
watch for this fight and enjoy.  Cathal Finn O'Briain   Genevieve de
Lironcort 24:1 Perhaps one of the most skilled non-belts, predicted to fall
to cagey, older, tricksy entrants.  Well, not older than he is.  You know
what I mean. Round 2.  Galen of Bristol   Alessandra Beatrice
Desiderio 52:1 Letter
of Intent was found to be a rubbing from the Viscount's actual tomb in
England.  Marshallate unsure if an effigie can or will be allowed to
fight.  Kurodachi
no Mykaru   Adena Terrickdoutter 55:1 We may only see him in the first
round but he'll be a screaming ball of divine wind Wiesenfury Judey Chop
while he's in there.  HIIIIIIYAAAAAAAA!!!  Jason Drysdale   Margherita de
Mantua 22:1 A technical fighter with a lot of promise.  Out in the 3rd
round to kit envy.   Work ethic on the field will see him in the
quarterfinals of one of the next four Crown Tourneys.  Aldric de Kerr   Meadhbh
inghean Rois 60:1 De Kerr deterred in der ferst.  Daniel Schade   Fionnghuala
Ruadh inghean Ui Choncobhair 55:1 Another first rounder out of the Brom
Camp, but the crowd will enjoy watching him work.  It'll take three cause
he's feisty.  Consorts name kills field herald for extra credit.  Eberhart
Stürmære   Adelaide Dewy 40:1 The Chinese Calendars and augurs have been
consulted: it is not the Year of the Panda.  In fact, Sunday will see new
"Patriot Panda"- red, white, and black and blue.  Eldrid Wolfsguard   Sofia
Mikhailovna 6:1 The Half-Pint Hewer has some momentum after his recent
grudge match tournament victory over Tyrion Lannister.  Romanius Scipio
Vesperanius   Deanna Dela Penna 7:1 Really pissed off about being mistaken
for Tyrion Lannister in last weeks big grudge match tournament.  Highly
motivated and always pays his debts.  Brutus Augustus Decimus   Gera Von
Roer 50:1 BRUTUS SMASH! (cripples first opponent, out in the 2nd)  Daniel
de Burdon   Adelaide de Burdon 12:1 Hired popular jongaleur group "Winger"
to do intro music.  Won't help.  Owen ap Aeddan   Genevria di Betto di
Adriano 10:1 Valley Girl class action law suit filed last week for
unauthorized overuse of 'awesome' has His Excellency totally un-stoked.
Wicked, tubular, and gigantic fighting vibes way blown.  Angus Gunn   Elodie
De Cormier 70:1 Eligability in question; baffled by writing impedimentia,
hasn't figured out how to "make his mark" on fighter card.  Bardic college
collecting for literacy fund on his behalf between rounds.  William Cameron
de Blakstan   Marguerite Dinard 22:1 Apparently, recent issue with former
friend, Ernie, causing some unsettled nerves on the field.  M. Marguerite
planning on singing "Rubber Ducky" to settle her fighter.  Hrafn
Olafsson   Elizabeta
di Valore della Rosa 8:1 Sources near the Red Duchess say she 'needs
something to do at events, dammit'.  General populace agrees.  Jean Paul de
Sens   Gilyan Clonmacnoise 10:1 Weight on and off faster than relationships
in this year's Ansteorran Gazette social section.  Which JP do we get on
Saturday?  Cardio and range control make or break the Okie Dokey
Dukey.  Geoffrey
de Gournay   Adela VomBerg 48:1 Some say this day is the Gournay Tournay.
Odds today say, 'no way, Jose.'  Vibius   Elizabethe de Salisbiry 55:1 Like
the Artist… just one name.  Unlike the Artist… will not be Prince.  At
least not this time.  Alejandro Ramirez Mendoza   Amelot Lisette 20:1 SCA
fighting sponsorship rules now allow UPS to cover costs on Alejandro's
slotshot and thrusts.  Downside is unfortunate brown delivery uniform is
considerably less flashy than old kit.  Daffydd Whiteaker   Octavia de
Verdon 16:1 Serious risk of becoming a "Cloak Wraith".  If he rides in on a
big black dragon thingy only the Fellowship can stop him… (Hraffn = Aowyn?
Note: Hair Flip Manouver)  Damon Xanthus   Megan Flower Del Wall 37:1 Waxed
head for more speed.  Wearing helmet during tourney so it probably won't
help.  2nd round.  Philippe LeChanceux   Suzanne Gabrielle Marie
Beraud 42:1 Word
on the street is that Suzanne bet the baronial bears.  Bjornsborg may want
to consider passing the hat for a pair of interim hedgehogs or nutria until
terms are met with the pawnbrokers.  Evangelos Thrakios   Sophie du
Northkeep 12:1 Chicks dig him.  Won't help.  3rd round.  Cassius Domitius
Lepus   Kajira Camber 15:1 If a gun can't kill him, do you really think
he's worried about a stick?  Maelgwyn Dda   Wyllow Mac Muiredaig 45:1 Lateral
movement speed coupled with shield style present significant Crown level
competition challenges.  Dda needs to beware fighters who fade shieldside
and have good technique with the wrap and flat snap.  Dietrich Wyss   Layla
bint Yusuf 20:1 Reports indicate that Dieterich has the coolest first name
in the Kingdom.  Boosts odds significantly.  Sarran the Traveller   Augustina
da San Germano 52:1 Power NOT an issue.  Mobility and stamina will cause
problems.  1st round but leaves someone's short ribs jellied.  Perhaps a
collapsed lung, too.  Sven Randullsson   Antigone of York 3:1 Magic Missle
and Stone Skin will be allowed this Crown making Sven the clear
favorite.  Aaron
MacGregor   Nicollet Deuville 4:1 "The Fister" aims to dive in with both
hands this time.  Number two in the odds, for sure.  Asoph Hearts   Michelle
Chantal de Charente 15:1 Word is that the Ace of Ansteorra fired his old
training partners, Ben and Jerry.  Wise move.  2nd round with potential for
third.

Sir Dieterich
