<P>Correct, except in my experience whoever won the first fights is the captain of a two man team, then the captain of the winning two man team becomes captain of a four man team, and so on until two of the original captains are captains of two remaining teams. The captain of the winning team of the final melee is the winner of the tournament.</P>

<DIV>I believe (Alaric correct me if I am wrong) that he was refering to a Snowball Melee.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first round is a parring of single cmbatants..... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second round is two on two combat, with each side being lead by the victor of the previous round.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The third round is four on four......etc.. etc...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When all combatants are equaly divided, </DIV>
<DIV>A. a "Captain" for each team is chosen either by the fighters, the Ladies, the Royalty etc...and a final melee is fought to determine the winning "Captain" or team.</DIV>
<DIV>B. A fight to the last person standing. (Grand Melee)</DIV>
