Establishment & Features
The Double Dragon Academy was established on October 28, 2009 in response to a need in SL for a standardized training program for jousters, sword combat users, and archers. As the academy grew, the need for an organization to spear-head its developing Intersim Joust as well as its own jousts became apparent, thus the formation of the SLTA.

The primary features of the Second Life Tournament Association are:
 * Standings are calculated based from the Top 4 finishers in a joust with 4-3-2-1 points awarded respectfully for 1st-4th place
 * Coexistence with Double Dragon Academy, one of the oldest medieval-combat training academies in SL
 * The oldest medieval games / joust organization in SL
 * The 'Cry the Tournament' Intersim joust, the first and oldest traveling intersim joust in SL
 * Working and promotion of other allied roleplay sims
 * A website devoted exclusively to SLTA, DDA and SL Joust results, with a wealth of history and general information from the past 7+ years on the evolution of the virtual joust in SL
 * Charity and team jousts from time to time
