I was also wondering about the melee. The last one still mounted wins, so the object is to unhorse the others, but broken bones and concussions are expected. The knights use blunted swords, axes and maces without spikes; but it's still not a safe sport. Would this rely on Combat or Combat Sport skills?
I'd call it Combat Sport skills, or Combat-3 for someone new to tournament combat and using his regular skills. While injuries do happen, thy aren't the point of such a tournament.
