You appear to have completely misunderstood me. Corpora specifically
implies that Crown Tournaments shall only be contested by heavy
combat.  Specifically, it defines a Kingdom as an entity whose rulers
are selected by "armored combat".  Fencing is _NOT_ "armored combat". I
was asking why that restriction was not sufficient for a corporate
level policy.

I am not addressing the question of whether or not a fencing tourney
ought or ought not be used to select a crown. That is a different
can of worms (institutional size).
