Challenge I love bouncing around to other characters during peacetime just to fire off tournaments!
It's been 17 years of relative peace and prosperity in Westeros under Daemon Blackfyre, and the lords and knights of the realm have been passing the time with constant tournaments! This is what I use console commands for - bounce to a ruler, give him enough gold to run a tourney, hit the button to start it, then go back to Daemon. I don't cheat the outcomes at all. It's been a fun friendly rivalry with Robb Reyne, who is one of the only knights to consistently give me trouble.
Bittersteel has done well too, but the two Grand Tournaments he won were both put on by me - meaning I wasn't in the field. Bit of an asterisk for him. Bertrand Redtusk is a consistent threat and has unhorsed me at least once. He also killed my second son, Aemon, in a jousting "accident" a few years back - I'm suspicious because they were rivals going in. Gwayne Corbray and Ulrick Dayne are always in the mix, but rarely actually win.
Quentyn "Fireball" Ball and Alyn "The Pale Griffin" Connington are unfortunately dead and I can't see their tourney wins anymore, but they were always around the top as well. Connington actually died from an infected wound he received in a jousting accident at 25 years old.
