Exactly so...there is no "light" anywhere on the cards for rapier.<BR> <BR>I am curious about why and thought about something else. <BR> <BR>I am fairly new to the rapier community, about 4 years now. When I first started, it was not about epee/foil versus rapier but about the pre-existing smaller Rapier blades versus the new heavier Schlager blades which seemed to be in every discussion.<BR> <BR>That may be why we are seeing rapier versus Heavy rapier on the cards. People have merely forgoten why and are assuming it has to do with epee/foil. Is this possible?<BR> <BR>Karl Thorgeirsson<br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:24:53 -0500<br>From: colsith@gmail.com<br>To: ansteorra-rapier@lists.ansteorra.org<br>Subject: Re: [Ansteorra-rapier] Proposed revision to rapier rules<br><br>But the cards do not reflect that.

If someone is authorized for "Rapier Combat" in Ansteorra, they are authed for E/F. I would be shocked if there were only 20 fighters that have that on their cards. Difference between those authorized to fight it vs those that choose to fight it.<div>

I think the fact that people are authorized to marshal a blade they have no clue about is a huge "broken" point. <div><br></div><div>Speaking from a simple numbers perspective, there really aren't that many fighters that fight F/E. Out of 500+ fencers, less than 20 of those are even authorized and of those 20, I know of at least 10 personally that don't fight F/E so I am not even sure why or how they got authorized.<div>
