[Artemisia] identifying cheaters

[danoman1000 .]

If refighting an entire crown tourney is being considered as a future
option, I have some questions about how it worked in the past.

How long did it take to go through everything again with tired fighters?
Was it exhausting?
Were there injuries during the second run?
Was the final outcome satisfying?
Did the guy who was thrown out learn anything?
