Probably the most famous of these triangle from the tourny happened
in the top group.  Sten was defeated in 2 called fights by Coues.  Coues
is a good dodger of lower power than Sten.  So, the fight would end
and Coues would get the call.  Ripjack, on the other hand, is lower in
power than Coues.  So, he would tend to get the call vs Coeus and ended
up winning the top group.  In all likely hood, Sten would have had
Ripjack for lunch had they fought.

I would agree.  This trend has seemed to hold up over the last 3
tournies.  In my case, Heather and Vrock (mine) fought Maug (also mine)
in the mixed.  Heather and Vrock are very good fighters for their power
and Maug is currently average for his power.  Maug was able to beat
them.

It seems like the only decent combo would be to have a

Not a good idea.  I thought this as well before the tourny and
teamed Gwion with Paz.  Gwion is an elf around 900 power with daze 7 and
blast 10 to use in the guild.  Paz is a 2500+ fighter.  Power level
affects action pts greatly.  Gwion never did anything.  He just added to
the power of the opponents without contributing to the fighting potential
of the team.  For future tournies, I would say:

1)  enter mixed alone if you are at all competant
2)  team with someone close to your power in the doubles.
