Ok, I've thought long and hard over this, and I think I've a solution. Before any matchups are reviealed people choose their loadouts, trying to chose the most well rounded arsenal. Then, once all people or most have chosen, you move on to lethality testing against unarmored targets. After this is done, you could compare the combatant's loadouts, giving the "edge" each category like they do on the show. Here's the catch: You judges give discuss this in secret and come to a decision on who would win. Then you write up the battle and (optionally) run it by the other judges, then post it. Then, after the battle has been posted, you explain who had the edge in each category and why. The way I figure it, this allows you to cover everything the show does and not spoil the battle with giving out the edge.
