If you check closely, they are going to their post and saluting their opponent when they are on the wrong side. There are only one or two pictures when they are actually jousting and, they are on the correct side at that time. Interesting pictures.

You're supposed to aim your spear at your oponent's shield, thereby ensuring he is aiming at yours, not your less protected side. I.e., pass to the right, with the lance crossing the horse's neck and couched against your shield. Ann in CT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
