If they use the medieval German rules for trial by combat for marital purposes he may not want to do it.
It would consist of him standing in a hole up to his waist for the duration of the fight while his ex would be fully ambulatory.

If you are saying FD improved considerably over the course of the year then are you giving T the same benefit of the doubt? I have no doubt that they were a better team than they showed T in scrimmage but at the same time the T team that made them look quite pedestrian in a scrimmage also were likely better than you saw in said scrimmage. Thus you cannot throw out the 3 quarter's played under game conditions entirely. By the same token I am willing to grant that CovCath could compete with both H and T this season and maybe even win a few in a series of games, but I highly doubt it would be the majority.

My only real issue with CCH here is the fact that they struggled with FD in the title game. While I get that it was a scrimmage, and those are not always representative, Trinity made FD look like a middle school team when they played. I have a hard time believing FD got that much better as the season went along. .
FWIW the biggest reason is going to be that taking these out did nothing to contribute to the war effort. The resources used to take out the train tracks or trains would be better used ending the war faster, which in the end would likely save more lives.
