Fencing Draft notes:Changing The Rules: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:02, 28 March 2023

Was

The Kingdom Fencing Marshal can approve an experimental program, subject to the agreement of the Kingdom Earl Marshal and the Society Marshal.

Now

As experiments may create liability issues, the Kingdom Fencing Marshal can only approve an experimental program with the agreement of:

the Kingdom Earl Marshal; and
the Society Fencing Marshal; and
the Committee of SCA New Zealand Inc and Board of SCA Ltd Australia, and their insurers.

Functional change: Clarifies who needs to be involved in the experimental process and why
Reason: Board and Committee hold liability for our activities, and our insurers need full disclosure of our activities. This was not previously articulated in the rules.
For notes section: April 2023 - Experiments may create liaibility issues, which rest with our Boarrd and Committee, so they need to consent to accept that risk. Our insurance company may not cover us for any activity that we have not provided full disclosure of, so they also need to approve any experiements in the same way that actual rule changes are approved.
