It seems to come all too naturally for female participants to target males there anyway "supposedly" accidental but it's already come up a few times in Italian rapier free drilling and assaulting, to which members of other groups have testified similar happenings.
An effective technique even if it doesn't happen to be documented for the most part, perhaps there was a functional use to the cod-piece.

Perhaps it can be incorporated into one of the tournaments at the convention? People would pay good money to see it. All we need is a big hole, a large sock with a 'rock' in it and an equal length wooden club. I'm unsure how much being stuck in a hole would impede true timing though... (althought theoretically you should still be able to step on the circle, just in small steps).
