This hotly contested competition is New Zealand's largest competitive joust.
We seek to find the finest jouster in New Zealand, and reward him or her for the dedication, hard work and effort that goes to make a tournament champion. This contest will run alongside the Knight's Challenge, with a separate score being tallied for the New Zealand Championship.

The Taupo tournament is known for challenging the mind and body to their limits. Knights from all over New Zealand and Australia will be coming to compete in the tournament; from the internationally respected Order of the Boar, who host this year's Challenge; to IJL champion Graham Nixon of New Zealand, winner of this competition last year.
