That's on 'A Knight's Tale'. Scoring differed from tourney to tourney, as there was no authority (eg. NBA, NFL, etc.) to decide on them. The idea was simple; two nobles charge eachother until one is knocked down, or until one noble had scored enough hits. The two would continue to ride around the listfield, raising their lances when they reach the end to signal ready, until one of them won.
Edit: It's a great movie, and an Australian (woo!) actor too.
I'm interested in this Tournament please let me know

Breaking a shield seems highly unlikely, considering you only hit the shield with a melee weapon if they are holding it up, and they can't hold it up while attacking. The only reason to block would be if you screwed up your thrust and still had time to pull up the shield.
I'd also recommend figuring out a combination of factions which have access to identical lances and at least similar strength heavy armor.
Although one recommendation I'd make is instead of rounds, just repeatedly charge until one rider is dismounted (killed), with a horse kill causing a disqualification. Reason being that it is a joust, not a foot duel, and since the horse's nose is the closest available target, anybody decent on foot combat will just aim for the horse and get to fight everyone on foot.

This looks neat, and I have most of the week off so count me in!

I agree with Raybur Ravenloc. And i must add: every faction has "lance"(unfortunately not "heavy lance"), so we've found our weapon.
As armor, if we select Swadia and Nord and take the default armor with no boot and glove and helmet, it'll be equal. And the hunter horse is available for both factions.
And still, we have to allow thrusting to prevent double kills.

jees so much crying about factions when it could easily be a swad vs swad ... now no more crying huh?

The great lance is king! But, in the end, it is up to the organiser to decide what lance will be used.

Hi, i don't post much in this forums. Just wanted to say that jousting in films has nothing to do with reality.
The aim was to break your lance, not to dehorse the knight. If you fall from a horse in plate armour you would propably break all your bones.
Also hits to the helmet were forbidden usually. If the lance breaks it you can get killed from splinters. That happend from time to time.
Maybe there were exceptions, but most of the time the participants wanted to survive the tournaments.

In most tourneys, dehorsing your opponent got you more points, thus making it the aim. As I said earlier, the scoring differed from tourney to tourney.
how easy is it to demount the opponent seriously... no one would even go for the rider... so that is why it should take away a point
