> MARSHALING CONVENTIONS FOR KWAR
>
> 1)      There will be two official inspections, one each day.  All
fencers
> must be inspected before combat EACH DAY.  Combat includes open
fencing,
> tournament fencing, or full-speed interactive classes.
>
> 2)      If available, blades may be inspected before/at the Friday
night
> "Mixer".  These blades will be marked with stickers so they may be
bypassed
> at the inspection Saturday morning.  These "bypass" stickers are
only good
> for the Saturday Morning Inspections.
>
> 3)      All masks must be inspected twice - once while OFF the
fencer, once
> while ON the fencer.
>
> 4)      All masks will be tested for fit by "chucking" under the
chin.
> Masks that come off the chin need to be tied down.  Ties will be
made
> available.
>
> 5)      All fencers will be asked if their armor has been
punch-tested in
> the past 2 years, according to Society Rapier Rules.  If not, the
armor MUST
> be punch-tested.
>
> 6)      The 3-inch overlap will be enforced.  Rulers will be
available.  The

necessary,

It does
> not matter if their kingdom is "pay to fight" or not.  Everyone
signs a

will be
> available at the List Table.

>     10)   Fencers are reminded that different kingdoms have
different
> blow-calling rules, and are also reminded that communication is a
VIRTUE.
> The marshals are there to HELP YOU resolve your conflicts over draw
> cuts, tip cuts, thrusting force, etc.  If you have a question ASK,
for we
