People like their characters to look cool. Some people think that backing down makes you look like a wuss, so they don't do it.
Either that or they just want to show everyone their Good Combat Skills so they pick fights at every available opportunity.
Just remind them that you're trying to keep everything running smoothly for this event, and if they want to continue intruding on the enjoyment of the event for everyone else, that they will have to leave and / or be disregarded by all attending.
