May I suggest rewording the appropriate paragraphs to allow a light weapons tournament in place of the heavy weapons tournament at the discretion of the reigning coronet who should make the decision whether to use light or heavy weapons based on a polling of the populace (no more than a month in advance) to determine which form of combat will result in more participants attending the competition.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I assure you we are taking all of the comments under consideration.
As for the issue of the coronet tournaments, we will continue to discuss that online, and we will want some more time to take the pulse of the populace.
