I totally understand the concerns that a mixed tournament might seem to disadvantage non-mixed-fighting-style participants, but if it's all determined by a /random roll, wouldn't it be inherently fair on an OoC level? It was my understanding that the OoC logistics make it so that any participant -could- win, regardless of the flavor text that describes how a character is fighting. So, in that way, I don't think anyone would be less inclined to win a round or the tournament itself, based on their particular fighting style. I know that "powergamers" are always a worry, but I always figured that the OoC logistics helped to even things out.
I admit that I'm not familiar with how these tournaments are run though. If everything is more freeform than I thought, then I suppose my suggestion of having an ultimately unrestricted theme wouldn't be as feasible, haha. XD;
