Perhaps it is out of the ordinary that a rule that has been in place since
the first tournament will actually be followed. That is why it was
announced at Defender 1998, at Spring Faire, at Rogues and Rapiers, at
Steppes Warlord, at ATYC, on RapierNet, and on this list. Since the Youth
Rapier rules were just signed, we will not be asking the youth to attempt
period clothing during their tournament.
I do not want to make specific rulings on what is and is not an attempt at
period clothing. Publishing specific new rules at the last minute would
create confusion and bad feelings. If someone says "I tried, and this is
the best I can do right now", that will be enough. If someone says "I don't
care what it looks like, I fight best in my white fencing jacket and stretch
pants with my orange Nike soccer cleats.", they won't be allowed to compete
to be Elfsea's Defender. Elfsea deserves better.
