[MR] Possibly an interesting program on Discovery Channel...

I saw it, and loved it.  One of the participants was actually a local Park
Policeman.  Everything looked great, imho.  I even made sure to tape it (it
was on earlier this month).  I especially like the part where they have the
dancing the night before so as to choose the next day's champion on the
field.  Also, they paid a lot of attention to the role of women in the
Medieval tournament.  Highly exciting.  I would love to actually train and
then break REAL lances with someone.  I don't think this could be done under
the rules of the SCA, regrettably.

Just came across this, and thought it was noteworthy.

Sunday Mar 23rd on Discovery:

Medieval Tournament: Making of a Knight

Witness the recreation of the Medieval tournament in its entire spectacle.
The heart of Medieval culture, these glamorous occasions were well attended
by the masses and contributed to national order and stability.
