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

Tue Jul 10 10:39:24 PDT 2007

The model of let those that are fighting decide seems most enjoyable  
for all.  That being said tourney format trumps it.  In a bear pit  
where the tourney format says you die if you step out, then the  
fighters have their marching orders.  I find small bear pits quite  
different then barriers and they certainly allow movement, just at  
closer quarters then some are used to.  Very sorry that I will be  
missing the Tiny Tourney!
