[Ansteorra-marshals] Salutations

[Kerry Pratt]

>From the "Complete Participant's Handbook" which is the definitive word on all things combat within our fair Kingdom...

1. A marshaling staff. The marshaling staff will conform to the following specifications:

a. The staff shall be made of rattan or pultruded fiberglass (NOTE: PVC caps or
equivalent must securely cap each end of any pultruded fiberglass shafts).
No hardwood shafts or dowel rods are allowed.

b. The length of the staff used will be left to the discretion of the Marshal. The
diameter of the staff should be a minimum of 1 1/4 inches and shall be
marked/taped in such a way as to not be mistaken for a rattan weapon.
The preferred marking is black with spiral yellow striping.

c. No marshaling staff shall be constructed so as to be a hazard to the user or
any other participant on the field (i.e. no sharp edges, protrusions, or other
dangerous ornamentation).

Depends on what you mean by "tradition" I suppose. I'm pretty sure 
the rules require marshalling staves to be rattan. The most common 
color is black and yellow (copying the SCA marshallate's colors) in 
spiral "barber pole" stripes but that's not mandatory.
