color=#0000ff>Wow...you all are giving me great information. I will have to get
to a few fighter practices to get some more "visual" examples. I would go to
tomorrow's but I am getting some garb made (long overdue)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>So here is the reason for my questions...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>I want to do something grand and somewhat different. While my
husband has his opinions on what fighters like, I wanted to get it
from the horses mouth, so to speak.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>I am looking to do a multi-group event that would pit Barony/group
against barony/group. That is why I needed to know how the different
tourney/melee/bear pits worked.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>So if you were to have an event where every barony/group
sent, lets say 3 experienced and 2 novice (fighting for less than a year) to
compete against the other baronies for "bragging" rights and an awesome
prize...what would lend itself the best?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Or would fighters feel left out if they weren't selected to
compete? I don't mean to be exclusive or count anyone out. I was just thinking
of ways to make it somewhat even "teams" so to speak.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Or maybe a mini-war of sorts. I have never been to war, but hubby
mentioned maybe doing melee's that included combat archery, etc.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>How could you do that and still have one barony take the prize for
the year? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>So if you have any ideas on how to make this work, I would greatly
appreciate it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>In that tournament format... what arms are you passing? Just

<BR>> As a spectator and former fighter (what? I've fought...once....), I
like the<BR>> one-on-one traditional tourneys. Why? Because of the
opportunities for<SPAN class=709432600-08042009><FONT face=Arial

favorite types of tourneys are pas de<BR>> arms. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE pas de

during my time period.<BR>> <BR>> We don't have to do melees and snowballs
all the time...let's have a pas<BR>> once in a while! I remember a long time
