By the 14th century tournaments had turned into a grand spectacle. It would be announced weeks before by heralds. It became a festival for entertainment. Many attempts were made to ban the tournaments but it wasn't until the society changed that tournaments of old started to decline.

Tournaments later evolved into sports events and game events like chess. For instance, the first chess tournament in a college took place in 1859. Today we even have a history of online tournaments on games at sites like TraderAuctionGames.com

No matter what century or decade, the thrill of becoming a tournament champion seems to be the same.
