[MR] Heavy Fighting scenarios

[Duane Moore]

One thing I would suggest for the MIC of next year is to eliminate the long breaks between battles. For instance, after the second castle battle a 20 minute break was announced before the Champions battle, and the Ressurrection Field and then there was another break before the woods. Maybe one of those breaks were so the fencers could finish up in the woods.... If so, we could have run another field battle in that time. 

I personally find that what hurts me the most is all the breaks and stopping between fights at mellee events. Once we start fighting, lets keep going until we are done! Short, small breaks? Sure. But 20 mins between sceranios just gives us all more time to stiffen up.
