The Games

 

The games are historically rooted in combat.  The skills needed to win at the games could also help you survive on the battle field.  

The Tilt

 

Tilting is the most widely recognized event in the joust. Two knights advance against each other with a lance and attempt to score points by striking the other. The Tilt has both light and heavy events. The object of light jousting is to strike a clean blow to the opponents shield. The object of heavy jousting is to strike a clean blow directly to the other knight.

The Quintain

The Quintain is an apparatus for practicing the Tilt. It is a target mounted on a pole that spins when struck by a lance. The Quintain event is scored by counting the number of rotations after the strike.
