Turreted weapons are nice, but they have to be able to hit (and cheaters invariably load up on the TH penalties).

Post-event actions, while realistic, still mean the cheater has ruined the promoter's show -- which means the crowds may not come back next week.

The _CW_ universe is one where "direct action" is a fact of life -- you're having a problem with someone, *you* deal with it, rather than letting someone else handle it; and the problem here isn't between the cheater and the other duellists, but between the cheater and the promoter whose events are being trashed by this idiot.

The pro-wrestling method is viable, but as noted, it still means the cheater is ruining the events until he gets disposed of (and the really effective cheaters are nearly impossible to get rid of).

Two pounds of Plastique in the seat back deals with the problem Immediately, and Permanently -- plus, to paraphrase a line from the film _The Infiltrator_: "There's fifty guys who think they can win by cheating. We can't get fifty guys; but if we get *one* guy, the other forty-nine don't sleep so well." >:)
