A superior class of cavalrymen known as "cündi" was formed from those skilled at jereed.

Şehit (martyr) - Horseman, who died in the jereed game.

In peace time, jereed was played to improve the cavalry's attack and defense skills, and during campaigns to whip up their enthusiasm for battle.

At the end of the game, the winner is announced by a council of former jereed players depending on points collected by two teams.

Then, he gallops back to his side, meanwhile the challenged player pursues him and throws a jereed at the fleeing player.

Experienced jereed players rarely miss hitting an opponent, and are skilled at avoiding hits themselves by performing acrobatics on horseback.

A player wins points when he manages to hit his rival with the stick, or ride him out, or catch an incoming jereed in mid-air.

Jereed is a means of improving equestrian skills, and involves two teams of horsemen, each armed with dried oak or poplar sticks.

Cirit havası (Jereed game music) - One or all of the melodies played with drum or zurna while the jereed game is being played.

However, the game was not without danger, and injuries and even death from fall-offs in the attempt to catch the flying jereed sticks prompted Mahmud II (1808-1839) in 1826 to ban the sport after he dissolved the Janissary Corps.

At the beginning of the game, it is traditional for the youngest rider to trot towards the opposing team, shout the name of a player and at a distance of 30 to 40 meters toss his jereed at that player challenging him to enter the game.
