==The Joust==
  +
[[File:9ZnFHPv.png|thumb]]
  +
Considered by many to be the premier event of the Tournament of Ages, this bold and exciting sport is an essential competition for any adrenaline jockey. With a sturdy lance in hand, champions from the Alliance and Horde will seek to dismount their opponents in a whirlwind of furious charges. But brace yourself for fierce opposition, for only one will be awarded the grand prize in the end.
  +
  +
==Hearthstone Tournament==
  +
[[File:2HIAc5u.png|thumb]]
  +
Hearthstone has taken the world by storm, and now players will have a chance to put their decks through the ultimate test. Face off against other card masters in the ultimate game of strategy. You may have what it takes to win, but only if you believe in the heart of the cards.
  +
  +
==Pet Battle Competition==
  +
[[File:69uAsd6.png|thumb]]
  +
Do you think you have what it takes to lead your pets to victory? You're not alone. Bring your battle pets to the Tournament of Ages and prove that you're the best like no one ever was. Complimentary pet check-ups will be offered after the competition is over.
  +
  +
==Racing==
  +
[[File:Ujw8rOM.png|thumb]]
  +
Equestrianism is considered to be a noble sport, one that requires sharp focus and total control over one's steed. In the Tournament of Ages, riders from all over the world will complete the racing circuit at breakneck speed in hopes of being the first to cross the finish line. If you're feeling fast and furious, dust off your spurs and sign up for the Racing Competition.
  +
  +
The Racing Competition will be a single-elimination tournament where two contestants will race each other on the circuit above. The racer on the left will follow the circuit left, and the racer on the right will follow the circuit right. The two racers will be expected to cross each at the eastern tunnel. For this competition, racers must use only the approved jousting mounts. Referees will follow the racers along the circuit to make sure they do not cheat by using shortcuts.
  +
  +
==Team Sparring==
  +
[[File:TeamSparringIcon.png|thumb]]
  +
Sparring battles are one-on-one emote fights determined through a rock-paper-scissors style of combat system. Challenge other roleplayers in duel of fates where you have the chance to show off what your character is capable of with the power of words. With a little bit of luck on your side, you might end up taking home the grand prize.

==Sparring==

Much like Sparring, Team Sparring will incorporate a rock-paper-scissors style of combat system. Team up with two friends to crush the opposing team. It will be up to you and your friends to outwit your opponents in this epic clash of fate.
  +
  +
==The Arena==
  +
[[File:T2aTLtP.png|thumb]]
  +
Not everyone is cut out to be a gladiator. In the arena, one slight miscalculation could mean the end for you and your team. It will take more than unshakable courage to succeed in this unforgiving competition. It's going to take a team of three champions with strategy, faith, and indomitable willpower.
  +
  +
==Dueling==
  +
[[File:GtNlJ10.png|thumb]]
  +
This PVP competition will be a series of one-on-one matches for DPS specializations of each individual class. Arena rules apply for spells and abilities. No potions, food, or other outside help may be used. This will be a double-elimination tournament.
  +
  +
=Tournament Grounds=
  +
----
  +
The Tournament takes up the entirety of the [[Argent Tournament Grounds]] throughout the week. The coliseum and the surrounding structures were built during the [[War against the Lich King]], and have been preserved ever since. There are four main jousting arenas around the grounds, the Alliance, Horde, and Argent Valiant's rings, and the Ring of Champions that takes up most of the southwest of the grounds.
