If he can't take a pun, he'd never make it on one of my teams 8>

The fact that this guy can't do much damage tells me he won't have
a great W/L record.  Go for the PLs PSs PRs ABs of the world.  after about
5 fight, train ST to 11 and start trying the LO and LS for weapons,
although he is just too short for the LS.  a 10-6-6 strategy is probably
best, with a 3-9-1 Dodge in Desperation.

Once again, lack of a damage doing statement may hut him.  Go
after slower opponents. Avoid Scum/WS.  SC is probably best weapon.
Strategy like 10-4-6 in first minute to 8-4-8 6-2-6 later on is OK, with a
5-7-3 Response as a desperation tactic/

	Don't anyu of your guys do any damage?  This one may be worth
trying in teh tournament.  Start out slow against all styles except
lungers.  Kick in to offence in Minute 2 or 3.  SLow to 5-3-5 or 3-2-6 for
later minutes.  Against Lungers, blitz them at 10-6-6 (Maybe even decvise
tactic).  They are the style that will beat you.  Oh yeah, blitz AB's as
well.  Many weapons to chose from.  LO,WH may be your best then SC.

	I like this one, and would run it in the tourney.  Against
TP,PR,WS go 6-4-8 for first couple of minutes, tehn slow down to 3-2-6.
Kick in some offense when desperate  say 10-7-5.  Against all otther
styles, suit him up in APA/F, LO/ME.  Run him like 2-4-1 Parry for two
minutes, then 4-3-3 for the rest, maybe blitz at 9-3-3 in minute 5 in case
some one tries to scum you, your armour won't let you last.  Desperation
maybe try 3-9-3 Dodge.  Protect legs early on if you are going to dodge
when desperate.

	Although this guy may not be fun to run, he may do very very well
in teh rookies tournament.  Deck him in APA/F SM/SM Go 1-1-1 Parry all
minutes.  Against other TPs, drop to ARM/H for armour, with DA/DA for
weapons and use the same strategy )(Maybe only one weapon)

BTW, when did you here about hte tournament, due dates, etc.  I
will be e-mailing RSI after this because the mail takes forever to gtet up
here in Canada.
