[MR] EVENT FLYER......For the one that Inspires Us.

[Richard Fitzgilbert]

The most common period way of determining a winner was to have the winner chosen
by the sponsors of the tourney.  Usually it was the lord or lady hosting the
tournament.

Lady katheryne,
     this sounds great. i like period style tourneys,
and they seem to be popular with the spectators in a
way that standard tourneys aren't. 
     i do think you should modify the one rule below.
you should, instead of declaring a winner based on
numbers, either allow the assembled crowd to judge, or
elect a group of Ladies to chose the combatants that
they wish to honor. either way has a period precedent,
and both would be better than winning by roll call. 
     The Drachenwald Ten Year tourney was great. their
idea was to do all the combat without calling for a
winner from one side or the other, just do it for the
glory of it all. then at the end, they had their 4
"Virgins" give tokens to any fighter they deemed
particularly worthy of it.
