With no wish to offend, I simply have this to say.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
You believe in your ideals, this is laudable.<BR>
<BR>
Do not exclude others who do not share your ideals.<BR>

This is not how the dream is supposed to be. <BR>

4. Protect the Crown both on and off the field. Our wonderful Queen is <BR>> a fighter and does not back down from a challenge or a fight. As such <BR>> she armored up and took the field in both Rapier and Chivalric, even <BR>> though she had never fought Chivalric previously. She got her first <BR>> kills on the Chivalric field at BAM. She said that was not enough so she <BR>> was going to also do Combat Archery, so one of my duties was to get here <BR>> ready, authorized, and take the field with her. Unfortunately, due to an <BR>> injury and surgery we have not been able to complete this task, yet. Our <BR>> young Princess also plans to take the field and do Combat Archery, so <BR>> taking the field with her and being there to help and protect the Crown <BR>> is important.<BR><BR>

That is why they have a Champion in the armored martial arts, forcing others to either do this or not play is exclusionary. Another thing to think on, if only a combat archer can win, who is to say that the next Royal Huntsman wont have the same thoughts as you? Once is precedent, twice can easily become tradition.<BR>
