Yeah mean like when (Queen at the time) Ariel threatened to have me drug into court in a green sequened gown, a red wig and a seashell bra? It was at that minute in time that I decided it was wise to never again sing "Under the Sea" when in her pressence:) <a href="http://icanhascheezburg...

Having thought this through, I would probably refuse passes against someone with a leather breastplate and gorget. I have never used a right hand gauntlet. I use a padded arming glove from Revival. I have also been lanced in the left hand while wearing one of these gloves without a steel manifer and...

As regards the question of unhorsing, the WCJA actively promotes unhorsing, and utilizes equipment specifically designed to effect that result. If there is an organization already set up that promotes the activity, why not joust there? If the WCJA wasn't available, I could see promoting unhorsing i...

The IJL as a body has no official rules. As Jeff states, It is up to each IJL affiliated tournament organizer to set the rules for their tournament. The IJL mostly serves to audit events to make sure tournament organizers have a plan, and that they stick to the stated plan. Gwen So is that a yes or...

IJL does not award points for unhorsing an opponent. This is incorrect. It is up to each IJL tournament organizer to set rules regarding that. The IJL has no official policy on scoring unhorsings or any other type of scoring, for that matter. FYI, I'm the IJL Board rep for the USA. Have they ever? ...

I saw a lance to the throat end a very talented jouster's career. Right through a solid steel gorget... I have a gold tooth from a lance hit to my mouth. (helmet undamaged) I've seen a horse get lanced in the eye. Injuries are to be expected. Don't kid yourselves...then you won't be surprised. The 3...

I ride with some hard-hitting folk. (WCJA/FreeLancers) I agree that perhaps leather breastplates are too light for 3' balsa tips. A decent socket hit might cut right through leather? Pretty much anything would be ok for mounted (crested helm) combat with the 1" balsa cannes, but lance passes ma...

My first two notes are: 1. Leather gorgets may not stand up to lance passes no matter how thick or rigid they are. Gorgets are one of the first things that get sweated up. 2. Wooden shields can shed splinters which can be a detriment to both rider and mount. We (WCJA-style) use metal shields that la...

This is very good news. 8)

It is prudent to see each competitor make a couple of passes before every tournament. Just because they have a pretty card with their name on it doesn't mean they are safe this year. Things change...things that can affect performance.
