[Bryn-gwlad] Chivalric Tiny Tourney--July 17

[Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace]

Salut cozyns,

I don't recall ever hearing a stated requirement to have one hand on the 
barrier or to be in contact with it. Typically, rules for fights at the 
barrier are whatever the combatants decide. At the last Lysts at Castleton, 
I chose to fight single sword with one hand on the barrier, but that was 
because my left arm is screwed up (normally, I prefer bastard sword at the 
barrier). No one after I lost the barrier was *required* to fight that way. 
In fact, Alexis and the viscount from Gleann Abhann fought at the barrier 
with short spears.

En Lyonel
