Jousting at Conjuration 2002
The mock tournament that was held at the closing of
Conjuration 2002,
June 23. A day before, the picturing competition took place between
the Authors and the Artists. Teams had to express a given common
phrase (like "two cats meow", for example) by some drawing —
one draws, others try to guess. By the rules, the looser party had
to participate in the jousting.
Surprisingly, the Artists lost...
Let The Jousting Begin!

The very first round, Dee Dreslough (at the right) vs. John Kaufmann
(at the left). As the shawl dropped, the rivals ride their
steeds to hit each other by the spears.

The Judges and The Verdict

The judges are the Authors, of course. From the left to the right:
David Weber, ????????, ????????, Richard Knaark (?), ????????.
Each judge calls the rating for each participant and the center one
keeps track of wins and loses.

Just another tournament ride,
Ragnar (?) (at the left) vs. ???????? (at the right).

the second prize (one of steeds). Accordingly, her baby
have got a bike.

Spear is Not Enough
|
|
|
Dee Dreslough (at the right) hits ???????? (at the left) by the spear,
but it appears to be not enough so she run down for the sword to
slice the opponent some more.
