- It has never been clear to me, even after fighting in more than one Midrealm
- Crown Tournament, whether its invitational nature is intended to 1.
- keep complete x-heads out from under crowns; 2. make for a more competitive
- tournament; or 3. make sure that all competitors share a certain
- throne-worthiness.
-
- In my experience it does none of the above.
-
- To those who have said that Crown Tournaments are the apogee of the tournament,
- I can only say that you must have been very fortunate in your choice
- of crown tournaments to fight in. In my experience, crown tournament
- bouts are characterised by appalling conservatism (occasionally
- bordering on cowardice), rhino-hiding even from people of normally
- good standards, arrogant marshalling, and lack of the jolly good
- fellowship that makes fighting fun.
