Hi, I haven't been active recently but now I have more free time since I dont have school/haven't been playing native. So I will propose something that will hopefully help you all with your manual blocking.
(http://textspace.net/img/1309654630_c8e69c7d_1309654630.gif)
The idea is instead of do using warm up duels to help with your with your manual blocking we will also have little mini duel tournament events every once and a while.
Tournament rulesking of the hill style. there will be one starting duel and who ever wins will have to face off against the rest of the people that showed up if he loses a duel then the winner of that fight will face off against the next person. this will go on until three people have beat the whole rotation.
I chose these rules because it will be easier for the refs to manage. the rules can be modified if the tournament takes up to much time.
EventsSabre duels(http://i53.tinypic.com/ojjez4.png)
also known as the butter knife. Two combatants with sabres will fight it out until the other one dies.
short weapon that doesn't do very much damage but is probably one of the fastest weapons in this mod 3 attack directions.
Sword duels(http://i52.tinypic.com/23rs20z.png)
the referees will provide both combatants with an officer sword and they will fight to the death.
medium length, medium speed medium damage and 4 attack directions.
Mounted duels(http://i52.tinypic.com/3149q3k.png)
combatants will fight against each other mounted in an inclosed space trying to knock the other off there horse. there is one catch if you kill your opponents horse you are disqualified.
Other event ideasBayonetI didn't include this because there are only 2 directions to block and these tournaments are about manual blocking
Dismounted cavalry duelsdidn't include this because it isn't a normal way to fight on foot
but it is a long weapon, slow speed and high damage
First strike duelscan be fought with any 2 pairs of weapons the idea is to land the first strike on your opponent.
no blocking aloud
Other things you need to know2 referees should be helping with the event, the will provide weapons,help out with rules and sort out the line up.
fighters should be in there 1stEPI uniform with no weapons on them except for the ones used in the events. if the event calls for an officer sword DO NOT GO OFFICER stay ranker, the referees will provide you with the swords.
the starting of a duel will be signaled with a pistol shot.
this is a daily thing it will not take up weeks to finish one tournament
events will take place on different parts of the training map
rules will change depending on attendance
Times and datesgone till Tuesday!

make sure to stay after practice tomorrow! ^^
Who is that sexy beast in those pictures?
(PS: It's not Weapon)
Ah, then it must be Velo.
I am not going to be here for the next weekend, so I need some one to help me ref to night so they can lead FFFFF after Saturday training.
ok thurdays was canceled because everyone ditched after training even though they new about it...
WTF guys?
ok, events will probably be on different days then training since for most people its to late after training, or there just bored of MM after 2 hours of training.
