Oddly enough, I wonder if having such a mixed field might also take away "outs" for some of the folks who lose. One of the most common reasons I've seen some players use at the Grindstone for why their fighter didn't get as far as they "should" in the tournament is because they're "restricted" to not using their arcane (and Monk, chakra abilities are also not allowed!) complement.
Then again, that could be more on the character than the competition.
Still, perhaps some manner of mixed combat may be in order just because the main goal is to have an event for the EU folks, and restricting them to one combat format or another without a feasible alternative (Grindstone v. Runestone) might not be so good. Hm.
