	Jousting has been practiced within the Society since 2002. The jousting program was specifically designed to work with the prevailing armor standards. Specifically, a foam tipped lance was developed that works well within those standards. Jousting with that lance remains an option throughout the Society and is administered at the Kingdom level. However, as we have gained experience over those years, we have been able to develop standards for skills and equipment that allow Society members to utilize a more historically correct wooden lance. In order to mitigate the risks inherent with the use of a wooden lance, higher skill levels must be required for both riders and equines participating in the wooden lance program. In addition, the equipment standards must account for the challenges specific to wooden lance jousting. The Society standards are modeled after what is practiced in the international jousting community.		Jousting has been practiced within the Society since 2002.

			===General===
			Jousting has been practiced within the Society since 2002. The jousting program was specifically designed to work with the prevailing armor standards. Specifically, a foam tipped lance was developed that works well within those standards. Jousting with that lance remains an option throughout the Society and is administered at the Kingdom level. However, as we have gained experience over those years, we have been able to develop standards for skills and equipment that allow Society members to utilize a more historically correct wooden lance. In order to mitigate the risks inherent with the use of a wooden lance, higher skill levels must be required for both riders and equines participating in the wooden lance program. In addition, the equipment standards must account for the challenges specific to wooden lance jousting. The Society standards are modeled after what is practiced in the international jousting community.
			===Society Administration===
			The wooden lance jousting program is administered at the Society level and not by the kingdoms. As such, the SEO has a specific deputy in charge of the program, the Wooden Lance Jousting deputy, who will identify the marshals that can oversee participation in wooden lance jousts, identify which marshals can evaluate participants for wooden lance authorization, maintain the list of authorized
			participants, and collect reports from wooden lance marshals.
			#Participants are authorized by the Society Wooden Lance Jousting Deputy. All authorized participants will be listed by SCA name and kingdom on the Society Equestrian Officer’s webpage for the Wooden Lance Jousting program.
			#All wooden lance marshals will be warranted by the SEO, and listed by SCA name along with identification whether a participation marshal or an authorizing marshal, on the SEO’s webpage for the Wooden Lance Jousting program.
			===Equipment===
			There are specific requirements for the appropriate armor, lances and shields required for this activity. See Part IV – Equipment Standards.
			===Participation===
			#Participants are provisionally approved by the program’s authorizing marshals, who will inspect the armor system, and then evaluate rider ability and safety through a variety of training/practice sessions against both quintains and live opponents and then report back to the Society Wooden Lance Jousting Deputy making recommendations for (or against) authorization. The Society Wooden Lance
			Jousting Deputy will make the final authorization decision.
			#When an authorization is being conducted at an event, and an authorizing marshal provisionally approves a participant, that participant is allowed to participate in the wooden lance jousting at the event, as the riders performance under pressure will further inform (and may change) the authorizing marshal’s recommendation.
			#Kingdoms should know which of their riders are approved participants in the wooden lance jousting program.
			#Kingdoms are encouraged to include wooden lance jousting activities at their events. KEOs and EqMiCs who wish to have wooden lance jousting activities should contact the Society Wooden Lance Jousting Deputy to coordinate training and/or marshaling support for wooden lance activities.
			===Marshaling===
			A marshal designated for this activity must be present for wooden lance jousting to take place. The wooden lance marshal should work with the EqMiC to arrange appropriate ground crew and other support, as necessary.
			===Reporting===
			No more than 30 days after the event, the wooden lance jousting marshal must submit a written report to the Society Wooden Lance Jousting Deputy detailing who participated, any pertinent findings, and any incidents/accidents associated with the activity.
