>After carefully reviewing the current Marshalate Roster, it was quite 
>evident
>that we have a serious problem in the current authorizing system especially
>Armored Combat.  Some of these problems include authorizing marshals in one
>field (let’s say armored combat) authorizing participants in other fields 
>such as
>archery or siege engines.  We have had authorizing marshals who have, in
>turn, “made” more authorizing marshals.  Those who have served as 
>Regionals
>and/or DEMS have been allowed to keep their authorizing marshal status 
>after they
>have stepped down from their respective positions.  These are all problems.
>There is no easy way to institute controls.  So, changes are coming:
>
>(1)  Unless you are a Regional Marshal, a DEM (a deputy directly under the
>Earl Marshal), or a selected member of the Order of Chivalry, you are no 
>longer
>an authorizing marshal.  Do not continue to authorize participants as cards
>you issue will not be valid.  (In the case of members of the Order of 
>Chivalry
>being authorizing marshals, I will be contacting you directly.)
>
>(2)  All participant (fighter) cards will expire at the end of March 2005.
>You will need to be re-authorized by a Regional, a DEM, or one of the 
>selected
>members of the Order of Chivalry.  I am hoping to have new cards available 
>by
>the first of November, 2004.  The system that will be put in place will
>require authorizing marshals, DEMs, and select members of the Order of 
>Chivalry to
>submit a form for each combatant being authorized and a card will be issued 
>by
>the Marshalate Secretary.  The Marshalate Secretary will also be able to 
>issue
>cards at events where she will be present.  Her schedule and lists of
>authorizing marshals will be posted on the Marshalate webpage.
>
>(3)  Only HRM, the Earl Marshal and DEMs will be able to create (new)
>authorizing marshals.
>
>(4)  Regionals – your job has just become more travel intensive.  You 
>will be
>required to travel to events and fighter practices to do authorizations.  I
>would suggest you make out your travel schedule beginning in November 2004, 
>and
>post it to the e-groups in your region.  In the case of performing
>authorizations at events, set a time that you will be available for 
>authorizations so
>you won’t have to miss out on the day’s events.  If you are not able to 
>travel,
>please see me so we can work out a solution.
>
>For the time being, these changes will only affect Armored Combat including
>Archery and Siege Engines.  Youth Combat, Youth Boffer, and Youth Rapier 
>will
>not have to go through this process although new cards will be issued.  The
>same may go for Rapier, Equestrian, and Thrown Weapons.
>
>It is my goal to complete this task with as little disruption to our 
>fighting
>“fun” as possible.  There will be a flurry of activity for a couple of
>months then things should smooth out.  By the time you read this missive, I 
>will
>have spoken personally with those who will be authorizing marshals.  Please
>remember the old saying “No rules means Chaos.”  We don’t want Chaos.
>
>Remember, drink fluids and be safe.  We are all here to have fun and to 
>make
>memories.  Let’s make them be good memories.   Remember…if you are not
>practicing - mind and body - someone else will triumph!

>Until next we meet,
