<DIV>The Society Marshal ruled that the whole wrist (360 degrees) must be
<BR>“reasonably" covered in all combat evolutions. Only the palm and grip
<BR>surface of the fingers should be unarmored. The Board upheld this ruling.
<BR><BR>The Society Marshal ruled that finger gauntlets, provided they are
<BR>constructed correctly - i.e., full coverage and plates designed not to
<BR>shear fingers – are legal for SCA use. The Board ruled that this matter
<BR>falls within the authority of the Marshallate, and no Board action is
<BR>required</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
