::runs up, muttering about being forced to think this early, and slaps a post to the board::
Okay...you know what? Maybe this competition is just for fun, but that doesn't mean no one can express an opinion against it. If I suggested all of a sudden that I was going to organize a team to go out and beat up little old ladies for fun, don't you think people would have a problem with that?

::Pulls out a dog-eared mail order catalog from under her bed, thumbs through it, finds what she's looking for. Orders. Waits for overnight delivery. Gets the box, signs for it. Opens it up. Goes to the board. Inks the custom stamp. Yanks down the reams of posts people have sprawled on the boards, goes through and stampstamps each one.::

::walks over ta the boards and notices all the poast have a big blue stamp on them. He smiles as he gets an idea. carefully, he pulls out a big bottle of White-out and has at the stamped post. He finishes and steps back, a smile on his face::-Light Up-::chuckles and puts the White-out back into his pouch and gets a box of matches and places it on the bottom of the board, wondering who will be the first to mess with them. He turns and walks back out, pleased with himself, hoping he has put a "lighter" mood to this:) ::

::Feeling as if she is responsible for this since she set up the team and picked match-ups::::Copies a few posts to comment on:: I'm not mad for myself. I'm fully aware of the fact that it would be insane for me to be picked as one of the five best female duelers. Still...this would sit a lot easier with me if it had been something that, hypothetically, anyone could do....if you and Adeena had held signups and picked the best, for example. ~Ally St. Reynolds Sister Ally, I beg pardon if I have offended anyone with Dalamar and My efforts to lighten the bleak mood of the arena and possibly put on some foprm of dueling clinic for the rest of the sport.As brother Nova and Jeffrey stated, make your own teams if it is that upsetting, noone will stop you, in fact, I would happily help you or anyone else set up their own mini-tourney. As for picking the best.....I mean no personal offense to anyone in particular but had I had sign-ups and then chose the bes duelers for this matchup, my team would still be the same. Old ladies we may be but I think we are capable duelers, not to mention well aquainted with our apponents. Not only did I choose this team because we duel well together, having won the team dueling championship as a matter of fact, but they also come relatively close to matching the many titles of our male bretheren.Okay...you know what?

::wanders up, reads through tons of papers. Sighs and puts a post it on the top::
If you don't like it, don't watch, don't do it, do listen to it..etc etc.

::laughs, feeling a bit better about this issue for the first time, and writes a reply::
Adeena~
Yes, I agree that the four women you have picked would have been picked however the teams were organized. In my case, it's more a matter of principle...how any dueler could have convinced her-or-himself that they could have been a part of this, if they'd tried hard enough. Does that make any sense, or did I word it wrong? Regardless of the fact that, say, I (so as not to offend anyone) wouldn't have had a spot in this tourney any way...if it
had been open application, it might have made me feel at least semi-included, if that was at all logical.

::Feels ready to put her own two cents worth in.:: Okay everyone, it's been said already, but... Dueling is a sport, a competition, and a game... For each person, it's something different. Let's stop getting down on people for their different opoinions about what exactly DoS is and just duel! Or, if that's not your bag, have fun watching!P.S. I'm not insulted that I wasn't picked for this... Heck, I'd be afraid to duel in something like this!

After much thought and some discussion, I, Alanna Saint-Reynolds, have decided to host...::grins cause she loves cheesing it up like this:: THE LOWER RANKS BATTLE OF SEXES!The requirements: 1-You must "hae a sex", in Summer's words 2-You must write me a letter saying you're interested 3- You must be rated M@A or lower as of this next ranking posting.I'm looking for 4 women and 5 men, one who's willing to be a team captain. Oh, and by the way...it's the opening act for Dal and Adeena's Battle of Sexes. ~Ally St. ReynoldsPS~As so many people told me, make your own teams if it bothers you. Both Dal and Adeena have, so far, been extremely helpful, and I'll just promise for them that they'll be nice to you too. ::prepares to deny that viciously and leaves the board grinning::
