Zat's right.  You get your invite when you meet certain requirements.  I'll
list the one's that I know, but I've seen other theories.

Minimum number of fights:  20
Minimum number of wins:    14
Political points:          14
    You get:
      Duelmaster            5 political points
      TV or TC              5 political points
      per turn in C.Champs  2 points
Certain amount of skills:   ? (I've seen this requirement waived - normally
			       it's not a problem)

Personally, I don't worry about any of this, if it happens, it happens.

Strikers for instance.

I don't.  Basically, you get a good feel for this.  The main thing, though, is
that good warriors run correctly normally beat bad warriors run correctly. :)

13-13-12-11-17-9-9  BA  Use warhammer and try 10-10-10-D

> 5-13-11-10-12-15-4 What style rewards a fast innaccurate attack :)

5-13-11-15-17-16-7  ST  I'm not sure about weapon right now (HA?); run
			10-10-7-D

I like running these guys as strikers.  They already suffer attack penalties to
their base, so why not ruin it?  Let them rain blows until they hit.

I like 6-9-11-17-21-9-11 LU  Use shortsword; 10-10-7-L or D (yawn)  I don't
like the PL (a little more dft would be nice); the AB's not bad but I hate
giving up the 21 WL.

> 11-12-13-4-14-7-9  Any hope at all?

There's always hope!  11-12-13-9-17-7-15   It could be many styles, but today I
like it was a TP or WS.  He's not going to learn anything, but he might be fun!

I like this fine.  10-14-13-17-9-6-15  Heck, potential as a SL, ST, AB, or my
choice, PR.  I'm not wild about the SZ for a PR, but I'm in a PR mood.
