#If you want to fight in a tournament at an event, you need to pass a test so we know you can fight safely. We call this an authorisation.
Youth combatants must authorize to fight in tournaments at SCA events. After their initial authorization, they must re-authorize at each division change.  
#You will need to pass another test when you go up a division.
To authorise, youth combatants must be observed fighting, to verify that that they understand and follow the rules and are safe on the field.  
#To pass the test, we need to see you fighting with a more experienced fighter for a couple of minutes, so we know that you know and can follow the rules, and are safe on the field. You need to show us:
    =====They must be seen to:====
#*that you know which parts of your opponent you can hit, and which parts you are not allowed to hit.
      * Identify the legal and illegal target areas on the body.
#*that you can hit your opponent hard enough, but not too hard.
      * Demonstrate losing an arm or leg.
#*what you should do if you get hit in the arm or leg.
      * Demonstrate dying defensively.  
#*what you should do when you die, especially that you can keep yourself safe when you do it.
      * Throw a calibration blow at another, more experienced fighter, and verify that the blow used appropriate force. If another youth fighter is not available, have the authorizing fighter strike your marshal’s staff.  
#*that you can follow the rules
      * Spend several minutes sparring with an experienced youth fighter.  
#*that you are confident when you fight. We don't want you running away from your opponents or ducking in fear when they try to hit you.
      * Fight a formal bout against an experienced youth fighter, including dying defensively if they are killed.
#:Note: You don't have to be good at fighting to pass the test, you just need to be safe.
====The authorising marshal should look for the following behaviors:====
#You can do the test for the next division before you are old enough, if your parent and the authorising marshal agree that you are ready, based on your skill and size.
      *      Blows struck with appropriate calibration levels
      *       Acceptance of received blows of appropriate force
      *      Adherence to rules  
      *       Confidence in the list; not running away from opponents or ducking in fear at incoming blows
NB: Youth fighters do not have to be skilled to be authorized, they just need to be safe.
      *  Youth fighters may authorize up a division before they reach the listed age if parents and authorising marshal agree that they are ready, based on their skill and size.
