At the risk of sounding like a grumpy lorenazi, I have a hard time submitting my character to an event which I risk they might not even be able to talk about afterwards because it'd completely wreck their understanding of eorzea.
Oddly enough, I've seen more of that with the Runestone than the Grindstone. Magic just seems to allow for a much wider margin of unique takes. I can think of a few... interesting examples, but that's wholly outside the scope of the point here. And could be misconstrued as call-outs, which I don't want this thread to descend into.
Still, you have to do some explaining to some degree anyway if your battle-hardened thirty year war vet lost in the first round of the tournament to a goofball swinging around a stale baguette (didn't actually happen, just using it as an exaggerated example). I guess it's just a degree of how much... finessing of the events you have to do for the explaining.
And a pet-fighting league would definitely be interesting! I'm kinda surprised there isn't one yet.
