<TD vAlign=top>Greetings,<BR><BR>It doesn't take a great deal of tournament savvy to run a single-elimination tourney...and if you want 8 fighters for your stage production--ask for volunteers.<BR><BR>But I <SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">strongly</SPAN> recommend that you listen to the Barone...try it on Friday OR at a fighter practice to wring the bugs out!<BR><BR>Personally, I would rather use Cynthia's idea...and intersperse some "slo-mo" sessions throughout the day to let the crowd understand what we are doing. It's just heavy fighter kata...and we do it at fighter practice to see how to improve.<BR><BR>...and you'd best be prepared for the complaints from the other 80% of the fighters who aren't "in the Tourney".<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Tadhg<BR>...brick by brick<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu, 3/8/12, JOHN <I><variglog@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<div class=yiv238158081MsoNormal><FONT color=black size=3 face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We start with 8 Fighters, a Herald, a Marshal and Rope Walkers. At EXACTLY 2 pm, the Herald leads the Fighters and Marshal onto the List and makes introductions. As soon as they clear the Field, the first pair comes out, is introduced by the Herald and lays on. Now this is where we need to use some WWE-type showmanship and time management. As the Fighters fight, the Rope Walkers serve as colour commentators, keeping the spectators motivated and informed. After 4 bouts, we are down to 4 Fighters and very quickly move into the Semis, and then into the Final. Now if only the BCS could figure this out </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black face=Wingdings><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; COLOR: black">J</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></FONT></div>
