Found these photos of AC2007, held last weekend in France. Looks like they had a Medieval Mayhem tournament. Following translated from French via babelfish:

The stand comforts 8bits had a large success. 2600 and 7800 were present with very many plays as well as the whole réçent Medieval Mayhem on 2600, Warlords approaching the version basic arcade. It will have was useful at the time of this AC 2007 of contest for the tournaments.

The tournaments over 2 days proceeded with 2 plays and a quizz of 20 questions on the topic of Atari. Medieval Mayhem on 2600 saturdays and NBA Jam YOU on Jaguar.

I like the placard they did up for MM

Also found a video(55 MB) that I fast forwarded thru. I see MM at 6:12 - 6:16, 8:00 - 8:24 and 11:57 - 12:15.

Looks like you're replacing Warlords as the "Tournament game of choice".

(By the way, you're at #9 in the store now.)

I found out about the AC2007 and the video from this discussion thread after googling "medieval mayhem" atari. I ran it thru babelfish. This bit keyed me to the existance of the video:
It ets well Medieval Mayhem which one sees on video MK at the time of AC?

I then had a good laugh at this comment asking if it's the Joust Ostrich going across the middle of the screen:
Ca seems to renew Warlords indeed. It is well a standard ostrich Joust which passes in the medium?

This may be a valid issue for PAL users, though the grin may signify it as a toungue-in-cheek complaint:
one is frustrated when one sees it remaking a ptit turn before launching the baballe

I ran out of time at the end and only did 1 set of animation sequences, so the dragon's a little bit slower on PAL systems. There's two fireball movement tables, so the fireball moves at the same speed on both PAL and NTSC systems.

I noticed the jump to #9 on Sunday - I was video conferencing with my nephew and saw that when I sent him a link.
