Use whatever scale you like, as long as I get to fight.

If we MUST weight then that seems a valid matrix. Otherwise weighting could be done via consultation by whomever the principle of the tournament is (Royals, B&B, etc.) or possibly weighted by voted of all the other combatants.

Historically in Rapier, I have regularly seen weighted tournaments weighted in the same or similar ways that they are being weighted at Bryn Gwlad this weekend.

Many events use this or a similar formula, it was just this publication that brought these thought back to the front of my mind. I've been kicking them around since the creating of the Optio, which became the Talon.
