Many options for how this could be applied.

I love war/team based sports so I think this is an interesting idea which could be applied in many ways.

If it was to remain with a martial pursuit:

• Could it be a warlord tourney, where the leader of the unit required a degree of individual prowess to win the first bout before their side continued to victory?
• Could it be a VIP style battle with the crown candidate supported by an assembled team. This option could create opportunity for some lovely heraldic displays if the various sides decided to/were required to make tabards/other appropriate heraldic wear (think VIP battle crossed with heraldic melee). This option would be open to many of the same issues that a tourney of champions would have in terms of crownmakers and pay to reign, and would likely require some sort of points based system like heraldic melee does to prevent only super knight/MOD teams having a chance.
• Could it be an outright war? With some other mechanism to reduce the potential candidates to only 2 sides prior to the battle? In this situation, do you think it is important that the person who intends to reign is the war leader or can they delegate that to a more suited champion as long as they still take the field? Does the candidate need to survive the battle?

In terms of another skill:

• Could it be like a relay race, with various stations for different skills?
• Could it be cumulative points generated by team members/members of the potential crown's future household, ala the war bands of Border War where points are allocated across martial, Arts and sciences and service pursuits?

So many options!
