[Ty Silvanage]

Cant we as fighters make our own rules outside of a tournament as long as all combatants agree?
   just asking

I missed this Lysts (partially because I expected it not to be terribly
fun, fighting wise), but the Lysts before I remember folks standing
around the Barrier telling 1h weapon folks they had to put a hand on it
or put their hips against it... Not the marshal, but several strong
Kibitzers.

I prefer to fight great sword at the barrier, but I don't find it any
fun If I can move my feet at least a little in all 4 directions, even a
half step.

That said I'm not trying to argue with folks, just express why I decided
to
Pass on the tiny tourney... 

Shrug,

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
