General
- Renewing is the same process as authorising the first time - July 2021
- If you are an experienced combatant, this should be easy to get through at an event or official practice, as demonstrating the required competencies in bouts should be quite quick.
- Don't forget to check for rule changes since your last authorisation!
- Heavy Combatant authorisation process also grants Plumed Participant authorisation - May 2019
- A Heavy Combatant authorisation allows the participant to engage in heavy combat with melee weapons and to take the field as Plumed Combatant or Plumed Auxiliary.
- Plumed Participants need additional authorisation - May 2019
- To act as a Plumed Combatant and take an active offensive role on the field, a fighter also needs another weapon authorisation such as thrown weapon, combat archery or siege engine. Plumed Participant on its own only allows a fighter to act as a Plumed Auxiliary (banner bearer).
- Assistant Marshals - July 2021
- Changes to the Marshal's Handbook in 2013 created auxiliary marshals - these are now referred to as assistant marshals to better clarify what they do.

- Authorisations for non-residents - June 2019
