Then Central Stands are large, and all seven stands are connected at the ends so on can move from champion to champion with out leaving the stands.
The top area is flat, and allows the patrons to walk around seeing all the contests with ease. This area is for the king, and invited guests only.

The King and Queen stand looking down at the first Joust. He holds her hand and explains the intricacies of the match to her with a large smile on his face.
Rolf Groomsmen sits on the railing gate, so all who wish to enter must pass through him first.

Connor sits his horse wearing shining silver armor with a tunic or red and blue bearing the leaping trout of House Tully on its front. His helm rest on the pommel of his saddle, his hands tracing the carves trout atop it as he watches the first tilts.

Arya is by the Queen and resigned to watching the tilts alone for the moment, and her jealousy nags at her.
Maryn stalks off the field with his horse and joins those in the stands with a smirk on his face. Though he holds his shoulder.

The Thatcher family is seated directly below the King's Box, with the exception of Tomas, who is preparing for his own joust.
Dorian lands a minor blow to Maryn's shield. The young man is seen rubbing at his shoulder as he readies for his next pass. Dorian's next blow was most unkind. And sent the young night sailing through the air.
The voice of a single young lady could be heard calling out for Dorian to be more kind next time. But the applause quickly drowned out her call.

Marianne was around, watching with interest. She was dressed in a simple brown and lent against a wooden post as she watched.

The Champion of the King of the Rivers: Lord Connor Tully defending against Ser Howard Thorne.
Connor is struck hard on their first pass, and had to twist to avoid being unhorsed. His leg hurts badly after, as he turns preparing to ride back at his opponent.
Tully powers through the next pass though, and lands a counter blow to his opponent shield that rocks Thorne.
Both lances rebound off the other shield. Both riders seem to be studying their opponent across the list as the run the match over and over in their head.
Becca stands up and yells "RIVERRUN!" at Tully as loud as she can.

"Do you like watching jousting Arya?" she whispered.

As Connor rides back for the next pass he hears Becca's cry and salutes her on his way by. He takes heart from it as he prepares for the next pass.

After the judges announce their decision Connor nods and salutes his challenger as he rides to him. "Defend the Riverlands well Ser, and good match." He salutes him one final time and rides off to put aside his armor and takes a seat to watch the remaining matches.

On the fourth pass, Howard lands a second blow staggering Tully, but the man does not fall, stubbornly refusing to quit the match.
On the Fifth Pass again Connor proves his resiliency and lands a blow against Thorne's shield. With no one unhorsed the Judges award the Match to Ser Howard Thorne who becomes the new champion of Rivers.
"Get Buggered!" Becca yelled at the Judges who dismissed her former father-in-law, before Talyn grabs her by the back of the tunic and pulls her back into her seat.

Aerie leaned over towards Arya. "Do you like watching jousting Arya?" she whispered. "Yes, I quite like watching the horses as well as the knights. What about you?" |

The Champion of the King of the Rock: Ser Tito Brax defends against Ser Lucas Templeton
In the first title, Tito Brax looks like a rock as he charges the other man, his shield repels Templeton's lance and his own strikes home with ease.

Connor smiles at Becca's remarks and makes his way up to the Thatcher seats. "Lord Thatcher, Lady Becca," he says with a nod of his head. "Do you mind if I join you here?"
