;7.8.1 - Groin
:
;Was

;Now
:Testicles must be protected to a standard equivalent to that provided by an athletic cup, secured by straps, or worn in a supporter or fighting garment designed to hold the protection in place.
;Functional change
:Removes the requirement for groin protection for anyone who does not have testicles (regardless of gender)
;Reason
:Research by medical personnel has not found data to support the need for rigid groin protection for women, even for high contact sports or similar activities.
;For notes
:November 2023 - The requirement for people without testicles to wear groin protection was removed from Society armoured combat rules in October 2023. Research by medical personnel has not found data to support the need for rigid groin protection for those without testicles, even for high contact sports or similar activities. The wording reflects input from the DEIA community to accommodate variations. The potential for permanent life-changing injury due to testicular trauma is why groin protection is required.
<hr>
;7.9.3 - Body

;For notes section
:November 2023 - The prohibition on separate breast cups for chest protection was removed from Society armoured combat rules in October 2023. The rule was not needed for safety issues, and was originally intended to dissuade "fantasy" armour styles. The rule also created some ambiguity around other acceptable armour styles such as lamellar, scale, or small plate armour.
<hr>
;7.11 - Hand
:
;Was
:A shield with a shield basket or equivalent. A shield alone is not sufficient, since it covers only the back of the hand, but not the wrist, fingers or thumb.
;Now

;Reason
:Society rule change - Clarifies hand protection requirement with a shield. Removes ambiguity with center grip shields
;For notes section
:November 2023 - Society rules were clarified in October 2023 to specify that only side-strapped shields with shield baskets or equivalent can be used for hand protection. There was some ambiguity around centre-grip shields.
