VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

The Jousting Tilt

In the center of the compound is the Jousting Tilt. A sturdy wooden rail, the tilt, splits the hoof-trodden turf. At one end of the tilt, a shield stands upon a board attached to a pole, the other side of the board waited down with a large sandbag. This is the quintain, a practice tool that swivels, the sandbag able to unseat the rider if he is not cautious. The temporary stables are nearby, and a shed of spare blunt lances are nearby.
The jousting itself is a main attraction, with two riders on each side of the tilt, riding left, to left towards each other with lances held in the right hand and crossing their horse's back. The object is to either knock your opponent from his horse, or shatter your lance upon his shield. A room behind the stands has a quill and parchment, allowing anyone who wishes to sign up for a tournament.
