To be frank, I have absolutely no idea. I am not
familiar with thrown weapons at this time. I would
have to consult with people I believe have some
knowledge of the issue and attend some practices to
try to become informed.

As far as Champions in general go, there certainly has
to be a sizeable community of people active in that
martial form before a Champion is a sustainable and
viable position. Ideally, it should not be a burden to
choose the next one. It is my impression that there is
something of a burden in sustaining the Champions we
already have and reliably producing a successor.

I had a discussion with Jehan on this issue and he had
the idea of establishing a guard made up of the
different martial arts forms chosen by consultation.
(And I definitely give credit to him for this guard
idea.) I think this idea has merit and the added
advantage of providing an opportunity to give
recognition to those reliable work horse types that
may never be at the top of their martial form in terms
of "scoring" ability, may not win tournaments
regularly, but are dependable, reliable, people that
help support and sustain a martial activity.

It's possible Carolingia could have Champions and a
guard. In any case, I think the Champion issue should
be examined and reevaluated by the incoming baronial
coronets.
<p>
I just want to say that I do think it is important to
recognize and encourage those of the barony who
participate in and support our martial activities.
