The way I've seen it done most of the time is simply 5 different weapon systems, and they don't repeat.

So S&S, GS, PA, 2W, SP would be one possible set.

It depends on what you want to see ... the only thing is that there are 5 different weapons types and none repeat.

Just make sure you post the weapons styles you want to see beforehand so people can make their weapons.

At our baronial we did:
1. Sword And Shield
2. 2 single handed Weapons fighters choice (sword and sword , sword and madu, etc)
3. Glaive (sizes vary)
4. 5ft Great Axes
5. 6 ft Short Spear
