I just wanted to throw a post-con shout-out to the winners of the 2012 Jousting Competition, and give a big thanks to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun to run the event, and I hope to expand it next year!
Wolfsnap,
My apologies for being a no-show.. my own scheduled event ran over time, and the players wanted to continue the game.
And then I was exhausted. :)
I am positive that it was MY LOSS, and I hope you were able to add another player in my absence.
I had a lot of fun at the joust (Friday). My only regret was coming in 2nd place, but I lost to a most worthy competitor. If I return again next year, Vothos the Fat will claim his victory laurels. Thanks for the game!
It was a blast, if anyone gets a chance to attend, you should do so.

I'm definitely going to change up the format this year - the jousting rounds went quite fast, so having three different categories in three different time slots was probably overkill. I'm thinking that instead, we'll do a single event with more people, and maybe do a swiss-style scoring system instead of an elimination so that everybody can get more rounds in.
I'll post more details to the board once Paizo opens registration for events, etc.
Vothos the Fat returns! Someone send squires for the breastplate stretcher!

Congratulations to Sir Malir,our overall champion for 2013, and to Lady Seraphina and Sir Chuck, our two runners up! Condolences to Vothos the Fat, who was once again denied the trophy.
Doing the swiss-style scoring this year was a big improvement over last year, as all of the participants got to come up for multiple rounds. It was a glorious day for all, and I thank everyone who attended for really getting into the spirit of the event and making it a lot of fun.
No worries, it was a lot of fun once again. The trick will be for Vothos to gain more weight and attain a lower center of gravity. Next year, victory! ;-)
