The problem with doing it on strat is that it excludes people from taking part if their main doesn't have riding skill, which isn't really fair and would reduce turn out.
I think tournaments should be tournaments and remain separate from strategus.
Oh. Herpaderpa, everyone can apply. We've gone past the JOUSTING tournament in our discussion and are now only on TOURNAMENT. People can bring whatever they want to the Strat tournament. All classes allowed. Just like in SP (although there you are for the most part given equipment :/
And for a Joust only tournament? Well, just announce that on the forum that this will be a jousting only tournament and that if you don't have a horse you can't participate. The tournament holder should be given a time-limited admin for the tournament itself. Gonna have to do that if we want a 1v1, winners stay duel.
Look, I haven't thought this fully out. Wait and see and I'll make a suggestion tomorrow in the Suggestions Board. Gimme some time, ok!
