This part bugged me as well. Obviously not real life, but it was referenced that many of these knights are tied to lords or the elite. also, some sort of honor code still exists among these chaps. It seemed rather ridiculous that this "tourney" like this would devolve into that type of scenario - regardless of their experience (and the absence of the King)
Maybe there is some historical precedent to this type of scenario?
On the whole, the episode had some good and some bad. I think if I had not seen GOT, I don't think I would keep up with it based on the first episode
