<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I reallly Like this Idea I think That it will also
Be a relief for anyone Autocrating the event. I like it because we can focuse
more on the areas for our champions while providing a place were all can have
fun and play.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Darius responding</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>I certainly advocate making our tournaments more period. Having been
to</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lyoness I found the Tournament style
very interesting and entertaining.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would
like to point out though that the Chivalric list was not only a</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>major focus of Lyoness it was also the Primary
Focus. The A&S while on a</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Theme and
very very impressive was a much more secondary thing. At</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Defender we also have the Rapier Defender and Archery
Defenders. These</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>are also major focus
points for Defender. I know it is difficult to</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>spread the attention of both the populace and the Nobles to
three</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>separate activities. Unfortunately I
think doing this type of tourney</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>might
subtract well deserved attention away from these other two</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>championships. That is unless we possibly moved one to
SpringFaire.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>(insert gasp of surprise and
horror here) Moving the Rapier Defender</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>might not be such a bad idea. It would allow most of the daytime</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>attention to be focused on two championships at
Defender, Chivalric and</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Archery. At
the same time more focus could also be given to the rapier</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>tourney without competing with the Chivalric Defender.

it? Anyone????</FONT> </P>
