Re: Armored Combat Exemption Agreement between SCA Inc., SCAAA and SCANZ

The Society Earl Marshal acting in the capacity of the office do hereby grant the following exemptions to the Kingdom of Lochac with regards to armored combat. These exemptions are granted based on a lack of inter-kingdom event interaction. These exemptions only apply to events within the borders of the Kingdom of Lochac. Any citizen of Lochac attending an event outside the border of Lochac will need to conform to the Society Minimum standards as defined in the Society handbook for Armored Combat.

Exemption 1: Combat Archery Conventions – The Kingdom of Lochac have permission to practice combat archery with the following parameters that deviate from Society Standards.

#Arrow construction:
#*The use of wooden shafted arrows
#*The use of the Riverhaven II blunt design.
#*Arrows that do not have APD
#‘Killing’ convention: Plumed combatants shall have a 5 meter kill radius as per the Lochac combat handbook
#‘Archery mesh’ as defined in the Lochac combat handbook is required to be used for all combatants and marshals on the melee field for this type of arrow to be in use.
Reason: Lochac has been doing this already for some time and has requested an 'official' waiver on these rules. There is a degree of physical separation from other Kingdoms inter-kingdom playability is not a concern at this time.
