I'm going to agree with the part about the arrow foam not being the best idea, remember, when testing, count to 5 and if the sting goes away it's good. However if you can access it put a layer of pool mat, the kind that floats, inbetween the 3 layers or so of blue and the football, that makes the blue last longer and because it gives a bit more and is a tougher foam. Also make sure you give it a nice base below the football, I prefer to build the blue foam rather than cut the football down, dispersian (sp?) is good for impact.
Getting to the bridge battle thing, deffinatly go for the people that are slightly at an angle to you, but also remember to make those stabs that just plain annoy people to get them to move their shields. Keep an eye out on people looking like they are going to drop their weapons, that probably means you are going to have to fight to keep your spear (I'm one of those jerks that like pulling the spearman through their line because they stopped paying attention). If you do have a glaive or something else with a striking surface, use it but after you push past the shield, most people won't expect it and if you get a good upwards angle with it you take them out completly, and don't ever be afraid to use your spear/glaive to grab someone's shileld and move it anywich way.
