in the never ending search for spectator draw, and after listening to a newscast on competitive jousting, this could be the next "big thing". the rules have yet to be written, but 1st gear only might be in order. only flat chested females could carry the lance, since cone shaped armour would tend to trap the lance and stop it from glancing off. Alloy could be used but not titanium (out of period). All tender parts of the rig must be covered to avoid needless pain to the animal. All rigs must be on the same side so that the monkeys (er nights and nightess are not separated by feckless drivers. Anyone brought up in the English school system has an immediate advantage, having read Ivanhoe as a child they know all the moves. Extra points for having visited Ashby De La Zouch where the lists are still in use. Just a thought. Paul.

I'm thinking any rules regulating bust size would be open to a Charter appeal. However, sidecar Polo would certainly be interesting. :lol: :lol:
