* ''Videogame/MountAndBlade'' - set in [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fictional not-Europe]] of 1257 - features tournaments that occasionally crop up in major cities. Anyone can enter the games and bet, and winning a tournament grants renown and the favor of court ladies. In a tournament, contestants are given identical gear which varies on the faction hosting the tournament; the knightly Swadians naturally feature horseback jousting, while the Mongol Empire-esque Khergit Khanate features HorseArcher combat.

* Begin appearing frequently in ''Squire'', the third ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' book. Keladry begins taking part during the Royal Progress, having been trained by her knightmaster Lord Raoul, one of the kingdom's greatest jousters, and turns out to be quite good at it. She eventually winds up competing against her former training master Lord Wyldon, who promptly dumps her on her arse in the dirt -- when he's not dumping her on her face, her shoulder, or her back. Lord Raoul consoles her by pointing out that ''he'' no longer jousts against Wyldon simply to preserve his pride, as Wyldon beats him every time.
