With Sir Sigismund likely to get knocked on his keester in the next round, I'd just like to say thanks again to Gis for putting in 99% of the effort in designing, organising, photographing, running, and frankly BEING this Tournament, to the 1% combined required from the rest of us.

Phew, I'm exhausted just keeping up with the latest results!

I totally agree that Gis is doing a tremendous job. The play by play in the matches is top notch stuff.

I can't even guarantee enough time to roll my own dice.  Much props to Gis to organizing this enormous undertaking.

I'm late posting, but I'm amazed with what Gis has accomplished!  This tournament is awesome in both its ambition and its execution!  From the excellent closeup photography and blow by blow narration of the joust to the beautiful setting with its magnificent scenery, castle, and spectators, I'm in awe and truly impressed.  Thank you, Gis! :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

Evenings in Winterhaven have been very busy. The Jousting tournament has really brought a lot of life to the city.

Now that the first round is over some of the eliminated combatants can be found drinking a beer in the Mug & Swords.



Sir William, Sir Enök and Sir Cecil are enjoying the nice local beer, going over their matches and who they think will win the tournament. Then a messenger arrives.



Sir Enök, I have two messages for you. Please get back to them shortly; people are eagerly awaiting your answers.



Activity is all around town, but this meeting must have also been something very special. Vanidel was clearly searching for someone and lit up when he saw Sir Fergus. Unfortunately no one was able to hear what they were discussing.



The atmosphere in Winterhaven is great and people are eagerly looking forward to the continuation of the tournament.

I will post the pictures/results of the first eight single elimination matches tomorrow night.

There will be a general feast in Winterhaven after the event is done. But I will just show pictures of the Royal Banquet held at the same time. Still have to shoot so many pictures that I am afraid I will need to postpone that too next week though.

Don't worry Gis we understand. Beside it is better to do things slowly good rather than fastly wrong  :love:
