Um, actually if memory serves (and I'm sure that the appropriate parties 
will correct me if I'm mistaken), the -original- idea was to have a bit of a 
mini-tourney for those fighters who didn't otherwise fight in tourneys, to 
help them become a bit more comfortable with the format and such. (This may 
be why it's been held during a fighter practice time and place).   Since our 
fighter practices tend to be a bit demo-ish already, with people coming out 
to watch and show off, people just chose to scale that up as well and show 
off more of what we had and could do.  And afterwards we could have a party. 
   Later a similar tourney was scheduled for the light weapons fighters on a 
separate day.  Eventually these were brought together.   Eventually the demo 
thing got more and more important, but I'm pretty sure that the original 
emphasis was on the fighting thing.   If the public showed up, great, if 
not, no big thing.
