[Ansteorra-rapier] Rapier Rules Update

[Iago Cabrera de Cadiz]

Greetings Ansteorra,

I apologize to any getting this message more than once.

After much discussion and long deliberation, Their Majesties, the  
Kingdom Seneschal, the Kingdom Earl Marshal, and I have signed the  
following into law. It should be published the December Blackstar, and  
I believe it was read into law this weekend.

The long and short of it is that as of January 1, 2013, fencing class  
blades, called "light rapier" in the SCA rules, will no longer be used  
in competition for adults. This includes foils, epees, double-wide  
epees, and musketeer epees.  (The new Darkwood WMA Rapier Foil is not  
included in this action.) They may be used for training purposes as  
well as for the youth program, which includes adults fighting against  
youth. Variances for events like the Bryn Gwylad event a couple of  
years ago can be granted with permission from the KRM, and you may  
fight with them at an out of kingdom event if they are allowed.

Also, we have removed the minimum length of a draw cut from the  
Ansteorran rules, leaving us with the society standard.

In addition, any authorized marshal may marshal a C&T fight so long as  
an authorized C&T marshal is present.

Other than these three things, I don't think much has changed in how  
we will be playing the game.

Iago
Rapier Marshal
Ansteorra
