The LaGrange Invitational was hosted at the Troup County Parks and Recreation Center in LaGrange, Georgia in their hockey rink. Eight fierce competitors from around the state vied for the first ever official tournament title. There was seating for spectators and sponsors, tables to purchase memberships or handle credit card processing, and food and drink vending machines. Other happenings included a spectator mini-tournament for gift card prizes and a musical guest, Griff Parrish, near the beginning of the event. The competitors used a preliminary beta of the Unabridged Finger Jousting Rules and Regulations prior to official release. The placers in the event received cash prizes and custom medals presented by Miss Troup County, Lauren Wagner. The national anthem was sung by Angie Berman. The intermission act was Eric Burnham's juggling. There were preliminary certified referees, announcers, and various semi-celebrities. The Lord of the Joust, Julian Gluck, was the tournament director and other staff included Luke Brown, marshal; Donovan King, referee; Dylan Hall, referee; Tyler Davis, announcer; Justin Whitfield, announcer; Jason Allen, tournament assistant; Alex Davis, videographer; and cKw Photography, photographer. During the course of the event, filming and photographing went on, and local media was invited.
