An MP battle was TinCow's suggested way of handling a duel type situation in KotR, but no one ever took him up on it. Reading about how early tournaments were basically grouped melees between knights, I can see it has some appeal in terms of historical flavour. The practical problem is that not everyone wants to do MP and it may be tricky to arrange in some cases. I would like to keep the option of resolving a duel by the rules I suggested, but if two players want to solve a grudge by a "bloodless" MP battle, that would be fine too.
