<<< I wanted to take a moment to report on Storvik Novice Tournament  
(at least the parts I saw).  First, it was hot - really hot; but  
that's OK because the unbearable humidity made one forget all about  
the heat very quickly. >>>

<<< The unbelted tournament was conducted in the very hottest part of  
a very hot day.  Three pools were formed and the combattants had to  
fight their way out of the pool to reach the final rounds (which  
rounds Her Majesty requested be fought with offweapons).>>>

Ohhh. Interesting. I guess that that is one way to beat the heat. But  
weren't people a bit worried about rusting armor or soggy leather  
after fighting in the pool?

After cooling off in the pool did you have any problems in getting the  
champions to *leave* the pool?

This sure would change the tactics, especially for those fighters who  
tend to dance in and bop their opponent on the head and then bounce  
away!
