I don't recall that discussion, but off the top of my head I would say:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>With a cloak you can whack someone's bade out of the way.</li>
<li>You cannot whack or pop the other fighter with your cloak.</li>
<li>Incidental/Accidental contact with the fighter is no a problem
(so long as no incident results)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You can pass your cloak in front of a fighter's face to briefly
block their vision.</li>
<li>You cannot cover a fighter's eyes so as to blind them.</li>
<li>You may toss your cloak to the side, behind the other fighter or
between you and him.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You can toss your cloak onto the other fighter's weapon.</li>
<li>Incidental/Accidental contact with his arm is no a problem (so
long as no incident results)</li>
<li>You cannot use your cloak as a projectile to hit the other
fighter. (I agree this is a dumb restriction -- I like this tactic and
have used it safely many times in the past.)</li>
<li>If your cloak becomes tangled about the other fighter or his
weapon, hold should be called.</li>
</ul>
I will dig into this further when I have some time but for now, follow
this and you should not have any problems.<br>

<pre wrap="">Dore, please clarify the rule about throwing a cloak at an opponent (and if
this has been changed/clarified in the most recent rule change, ignore
this):
What was stated (I believe as a change in the rules) in the marshal's
meeting at Red Tape was that while a fighter can throw a cloak at an
opponent, the thrown cloak cannot actually hit, strike, or land on the
opponent. But a cloak being wielded in the hand did not have the same
restriction. I'm not sure of the rule applied to this, I just remember you
stating it and clarifying a question on it. But a number of fighters have
asked for clarification. This has caused a large amount of confusion in
various fights, tournaments, and practices.
Thanks.
