Wow, my guys are doing amazingly well. Except for Euron, no idea why I entered him in the first place....

Yeah, they are, especially since I started them from apprentice like most of the other unknown jousters. I just hope they don't die from meeting somebody far bigger than them like Timm Dayne. Feel free to send in a scenario bumping up anyone who has gotten this far to noteworthy and anyone who makes it to the next round to expert.

Bracket Winners
Bracket 1 Final
Vance Hardyng vs. Seth Falgrave
81 vs. 116
Hardying looked uneasy in his saddle and on the first pass, Falgrave rattled him in his seat.
87 vs. 187
The second pass is disasterous. Falgrave rides at a solid clip and send Hardying flying across the yard for what may well be a fatal fall. The crowd gasps and the healers and the blacksmith go running.
Bracket 2 Final
Timm Dayne vs. Ser Daniel Ashcroft
170 147 (medium hit)
Daniel Ashcroft is quaking in his armor at meeting the legendary Dayne on the joust field. One man today might have already been killed and now he was riding against Dayne and Dornish Mountain, his famous courser. He patted Buttercup, prayed to gods new and old, and set out.
Dayne trained a fine lance upon him but somehow he managed to live through it, and even maintain his seat.
130 127 (no contact)
The second pass, Dayne didn't even manage to contact him! Ashcroft had managed to live through two lances with the great Dornish knight!
209 vs. 130 (heavy hit)
The inevitable came in the third pass when a ferocious hit by Dane sent Ashcroft flying. When Ashcroft came to after the administration of smelling salts by one of the healers, he realized that he was alive and the day was good. He wobbily got to his feet and bowed to Ser Dayne. Dayne in return nodded and tipped his lance. A very good day indeed for Ser Daniel.
Bracket 3 Final
Tytos Blackwood vs. Michael Westerling
184 vs. 75
A sad day for the Westerling family, though. Michael Westerling was uneasy in his seat when Blackwood came at him at a ferocious pace tossing him easily from his saddle. He landed with a fatal crunch on his head. Weeping was immediately heard from the stands and he was declared dead at the scene by Lilith Royce herself.

Sorry Man. Sorry about giving you a limp too, while I'm at it. Of course, I don't know how serious it is or if it is permenant or not.

Bracket 4 Final
Prince Andrey Baratheon vs. Ser Adamm Marbrand
130 vs. 152 (light hit)
Marbrand, another knight with a minor reputation finds himself facing the legendary Prince Andrey. In the first pass, Marbrand actually manages to get a light shot on the prince. He grinned. He was going to win this after all.
150 vs. 116 (medium hit)
In the second pass, Andrey returned the favor and rattled Ser Adamm in his seat. "I'll get you!" thinks Ser Adamm.
149 vs. 87 (heavy hit)
Unfortunately, before Ser Adamm even had a chance to figure out what was going on in third pass, Prince Andrey sent him flying. Healers and the blacksmith again scrambled and he was able to walk away very gingerly.
Bracket 5 Final
Lord Jon Royce vs. Ser Roland Royce
183 vs. 130
Royce kinsman faced each other, nodded and tipped their spears, and came out charging. Jon Royce used just the right amount of pressure to send Roland neatly flying. He landed, rolled and rose to his feet in one easy move. When he took off his helmet, the crowd could see he was grinning. He waved at his cousin, who waved back.
Bracket 6 Final
Lord Erryk Mallister vs. Martyn Darry
124 vs. 143
In the final bracket final Darry faced his fellow Riverlander Erryk Mallister. He started well and got a light shot on Mallister's shield.
82 vs. 74
Next pass was uneventful, both knights being off balance.
117 vs. 63
Finally, Mallister's experience came through and he tossed his fellow Riverlander neatly onto his ass. Darry got to his feet before the healers could get to him, bowed, and was in return saluted by his opponent.

The winners of the brackets compete against each other
Bracket 1 vs. Bracket 2
Seth Falgrave vs. Timm Dayne
132 vs. 196
"I will get my revenge for Tallahar" thought Falgrave as he faced Dayne across the jousting field. The thought gave him good speed but did not spare him the power of Dayne's lance placed squarely in the middle of his shield. Luckily, he, unlike Tallahar was able to walk away from the battle.
Bracket 3 vs. Bracket 4
Tytos Blackwood vs. Prince Andrey Baratheon
97 vs. 120 (light)
Tytos looked royalty in the eye and charged. Unfortunately the prince got the better of him.
141 vs. 182 (medium)
The next pass, Baratheon again got a solid shot on Blackwood's shield, rattling but not dismounting him.
161 vs. 210 (medium)
He charged with all his might but the Prince was just too strong and placed his lance neatly on his shoulder pushing him to the ground.
Bracket 5 vs. Bracket 6
Lord Jon Royce vs. Lord Erryk Mallister
195 vs. 155 (medium)
Mallister had a remarkable run so far in the tournament and for his troubles he was matched with the legendary Jon Royce. He looked his opponent in the eye, nodded and charged hard but it wasn't enough. Royce scored a solid hit to his shield.
193 vs. 153 (medium)
The next pass was almost identical to the first.
162 vs. 146 (light)
The move that finally toppled Mallister was not as hard as the first two but instead just elegantly placed. Mallister hung on for dear life but finally fell to the ground under the insistant push of Royce's lance.
For winning with the largest margin, Ser Timm Dayne gets a bye the next round and will meet the winner of the match between Prince Andry and Jon Royce.

Not to sound like I am unhappy with the turn out of anything- But did you count Tytos as Grandmaster Lance? Because in a PM you agreed to him raising a level in lance, and I just wanted to make sure you remember that.
