Day two of the European Jousting Championship involved the second of the two mounted skill at arms competitions. In this second event, the competitors rode in soft kit -- non-armoured clothing that would be appropriate for the time period. At the end of the second day of competition, the same three competitors remain in first, second and third position:

1st place: Knight Ole Bach, Denmark
2nd place: Knight Klas Lundberg, Sweden
3rd place: Toin Peeman, The Netherlands

The remaining days of the tournament will involve the jousting portion of the competition. First the preliminary rounds, then the semi-finals, with the finals and the announcement of the tournament champion being the highlight of the last day of the Bishop's Market Medieval Festival.
