In this photo issued by English Heritage Wednesday July 31, 2019, Medieval jousting is being brought up-to-date with tests to use VAR Hawk-Eye video review technology to make sure scoring is accurate, with English Heritage testing the new tech, in Framlington, England, ahead of the upcoming 2019 season of jousting competitions. English Heritage says accuracy is vital in jousting, a sport in which participants on horseback charge at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (48 kph) to strike their opponent, and now VAR may make scoring accurate.
