On the heavy field there are numerous competitions that have nothing to do with 
war points.  There are all kinds of specialty tournaments and melees.  There are 
pas and historic marshal arts tourneys.  There is Hastings and Combat of the 
Thirty.  Heck, they even let the Tucux (I know I miss spelled that) have a 
tourney.  To a lesser degree, they do it on the rapier field as well.

The point is that there is nothing unusual about having a championship that is 
outside of the war points.  The only issue is getting the space and time slot to 
put it on.  I like the idea.

Thank you, Fen! 

We should all agree, as a first point, to accept that the Pennsic War is East 
and Middle and that it is their game to run as they see fit. I am not going to 
presume to tell them how to run their war or in interferring in their processes  
- -  who knows how Atlantia would run it if it were our war! If East/Mid wanted 
a third team or a fourth team - lovely - but we, none of us, will hold our 
breaths. How the archery MIC's choose their championship teams, if it is "fair" 
etc. is not a good road to head down. So we must stop complaining and work 
towards the common good.

This is precisely why I would be interested in hosting a shoot completely 
outside the war, outside the war points - - as exists on the thrown weapons 
range every year. I have been posting here on this list only to try to see if we 
can come to a consensus on a novelty shoot that would be a proxy for a 
kingdom/individual championship, that's all.

With deepest respect and affection for all my fellow archers-crazies, Nuala
