Two riders charge at each other on opposite sides of a barrier, using break-away lances, and try to score points by breaking their lance on the opponent's shield.
- The tilt rail is positioned in the center of the area (60 m x 30 m).
- Riders make three separate runs at their opponent down the tilt rail. This consist of a match.
- Positioned at the end of the tilt rail is a line marshal or judge that scores the rider travelling away from them.
- The points earned are either three points for the lance breaking on the opponent's shield, two points for breaking the lance on the opponent's body or one point for the lance breaking tip to tip or a point of safety.
- If a rider fails to present their shield during the run, the points they may have earned are negated. The Marshal-in-charge of the joust will make the final call.
