<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;">We are happy to see everyone’s input
on this, and if we all work in a positive direction, we shall indeed present a
FANTASTIC Demo Tourney.</span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;">Here is a rough idea of what we have in
mind, and we do need the help of someone who is Tourney-savvy to tighten up the
format, chose Fighters, keep it fast paced and make whatever changes they feel
are needed to make it GREAT. </span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;">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></p>

<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;">Again, this will all play out in a 30-45
minute slot.</span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="yiv1312625404MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;">Does someone have a Herald’s Trumpet
or something similar for the Entrance of the Fighters? How about a cloth
Litter to haul “Dead Fighters” off the Field?</span></font></p>
