Where the jousts will be held on an annual basis.
Starting with the second annual Renaissance Fair at 16:00 AW Time on September 29th, on the year of the Lord 2006.

Welcome To The Second annual Jousting Tournament of Germania.

If you have not signed up yet you may do so here so you can be able to participate and win our fabulous prizes in the The Joust at Monsalvat Castle .
You will also need to pick up a coat of arms here, since all knights had one, we need to have one here too.

What you need to do is simple; just pick one shield that you would like to use (except for any of Arthur's or Breunor's which are already taken and happen to have multiple shields) and let Breunor know about it so he can help you resize it for the games.
I would also suggest that you make a second choice in case the one you choose is already taken by another player.
We will post it for you in the Jousting Tree after each round has been set.
You can then post your shield on the Jousting Thread if you like so we can all admire it and feel very envious.


The rules for this game are simple, first of all you will need to find a marshal that will help you post the joust.
Desdemona Eurimedon will gladly help you in this task, so please speak to her about it.
Once that is out of the way you need to find a knight to joust against and then make an announcement about it in a post.
Again Desdemona may be able to help you in this department.

All the rules of the game are explained in detail here so please read through them rules carefully.
You should also read this two posts on how the pairings will be chosen and how the winners will be rewarded points to choose 3rd place.

As each joust between knights is won the winners will be posted in the jousting tree below.
There you can also find who they will be matched against for the next round.
This will finally continue until we determine the winner.

Since only men used to be able to joust, or compete in any tournaments for that matter, we have changed the rules a bit.
If any women choose to join they may do so at any time, they will however need to follow the same rules as the men and will of course not be given any special favours. Sorry about that ladies!
We will all just have to pretend to be men for one day.
That should be fun, no? A bunch of butch women around AW...the men will love that *g*

Anyway, I suggest you sign up now and read through the rules.
I (Desdemona Eurimedon) will be acting as marshal for the length of the tournament so don't hesitate to ask for my help in posting etc. If you run out of posts I can do that for you or you can let me know of another persona that you may want to use and you may post with that person.
But please keep in mind that you need to let us know before you start posting with them, or we wouldn't be able to keep track of the winners.

Good luck to you all and let the best man (or woman in drag) win.
