"Effective immediately" certainly leads me to believe that from the 
moment notice was given of the new requirements, they were in effect.

The post that began the thread on the new rules contained this language: 

: Here is the official announcement from the Society Combat Archery Marshal;
: 
: Effective immediately by the Society Earl Marshal & the Deputy Society Earl
: Marshal for Combat Archery, the following changes to equipment are required
: due to repeated incidents of helm penetrations:
: 
: * Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the tip
: after taping.
: 
: * All UHMW & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition must have a side wrap of
: foam added that brings the total diameter of the blunt to at least 1.5"
: after taping.  This wrap must extend from the tip to at least 1/2" over the
: UHMW or Siloflex itself.
: 
: * All fletches on any arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons can project no
: further than 1/2" from the shaft, or must be 1.5" thick.
: 
: * NOTE:  All Marshals need to be rigorous in their inspections of all tips
: (arrows & thrusting) and mass weapons.  Ensure that the foam is firm, will
: not bend over, returns to shape when compressed, and can not be easily
: pushed into a legal helm more than 1/2".

It came to my mailserver on Mon Aug 11 08:52:20 2008, and was from 
"Paul Thorne" <paul.v.thorne at gmail.com>, a.k.a.. HL Jean-Paul de 
Calmont, CAO, HL Jean-Paul de Calmont, CAO, Kingdom Missile Marshal, 
Ansteorra, to the Ansteorra-Archery list. 

Looks pretty official to me, and nobody has questioned its legitimacy.
