Everything in here is all my own work, but I did learn some things from decompiling the code of the "Useful Companions" mod and the "Bannerlord Tweaks" mod. I highly recommend you do the same if you want to learn about modding Bannerlord (also it's pretty easy and really fun :)).

Compatibile with 1.3
Arena Buff, buffs the arena and helps you and your troops get buff! Tournament rewards are increased and the "Practice" mode in the arena helps your companions and troops gain some valuable experience (plus the crowd will throw you a coin from time to time).
This is for version 1.4+ (will be updated when future versions release).
Features
Practice mode: Choosing to practice in the arena will help your current party, including troops and companions learn some valuable combat skills - ordinary troops will gain XP, companions will gain skill XP in various weapons.
Practice mode: The crowd will now throw you a coin every time you fell an opponent.
Practice mode: Prize-money is unchanged, but your companions and troops gain experience based on your hits and knockouts, not on you actually winning the practice fight.
Tournaments: Tournaments now grant 10 renown instead of 3. In the middle-ages tourney winners were rockstars - people forged their reputations amongst the nobility in these games and now you can too.
Tournaments: Tournaments now come with prize money! As well as a random piece of equipment you probably don't want, now you'll get 2000 denars, which is nice.
Tournaments: Bet your life savings! Now you can bet up to 10,000 denars on each round. Get rich quick/lose everything horribly when Kara the Shieldmaiden knocks you on your ass in the final, even though she's in your damn party!
Tournaments: You'll also gain a small amount of valor for each tournament you win. It's about half or a quarter what you would gain from a quest, but it's something at least.
This is my first mod, so I'm eager to hear feed back :). Planned features include configurable values for all of the above, plus some more stuff in practice mode to make it more like training your troops and friends. If you find bugs, let me know!
