This is full on competitive jousting with proper medieval chivalric rules. Donning Tony Stark-esque Iron Man suits, the competitors spend the first part of the show going through training exercises and familiarising themselves with the intricate techniques required for accurate jousting. This competition certainly pulls no punches and the 8 run competition at the end is exhilarating to watch, as their mighty horses thunder down the course and lances are lowered.
Points are scored for a hit on the scoring plate located on the right shoulder, a broken lance and the satisfying unseating.
It is truly authentic and great to watch.
