How would you do it?

[Event Horizon]

I've read some posts about how bad some competitions have been (esp. about Summer Natl's) and was wondering how would you do it? Anyone have any comments on what would make a perfect Fencing competition? Am curious to know what you guys think.

I'd have a subsidised bar, a stage with a rock band, the fencing equivalent to brolly girls, perhaps retired champions, offering tips and advice.

and I can get really silly and say "television coverage".

I'll shut up now.

What are brolly girls?

[SteveMcDonough]

Yu know, Like Formula One... Highly attractive, scantilly clad barely legal beauties who hold brollies before the race... Very pointless, but gives single men a different reason to watch motorsport.

ahh... the mighty grid women... always wakes me up on sunday mornings...

Yeah? Well how about a little beefcake?

Seriuosly, a bit less down time would be nice. I think that would mean insuring that there were sufficient pistes to run the events on.

I'm surprised you could stand up when your first DE came up!

have brolly girls and guys? hmmm...how about having cheerleaders? Or ring girls? Like they have in boxing to announce every round. I guess in Fencing we'd call them strip girls. That should bring in lots of spectators at least.
