perhaps its useful to tell the purpose of the guild.
We try to set up a guild where its members are sworn to uphold a certain code of honorable conduct.
Swordfighting champion(s) need to be respected and detrimental to choosing someones position.
The guild will keep records of duels fought and determine the monthly ranks of its members.
The higher in rank the more likley you should be as a member to vote or apoint such champion.
So its a kind of political sword-fighters guild, become the champion of the guild and the guild will grant you positions(and gold, threw monthly fees).
The idea is that sword skill is a certain factor of determining once valor, honor and strength as a person.
The guild also believes that if insulted or challenged, the guilds members should respond by duel.
Combined with that its more likley that a high trained swordsmen can take a position keep it and defend it.
