Armoured Combat Draft notes:Combat Authorisation Requirements

Combat authorisation requirements

General

2.1.2

Was

...The requirement to demonstrate ability means there must be a practical component to all authorisation tests.

Now

The requirement to demonstrate ability means there must be a practical component to all authorisation tests. This test must occur at an official event or official practice.

Functional change

Makes it absolutely clear that authorisation bouts must occur at official events or practices.

Reason

SCA combat only occurs at official SCA events and practices. We have no jurisdiction over people fighting in their backyard in their own time, therefore nothing that occurs there is valid for our purposes.

Clarification that authorisations must occur at official events or practices - December 2024

SCA combat only occurs at official SCA events and practices. We have no jurisdiction over people fighting in their backyard in their own time, therefore nothing that occurs there is valid for our purposes, so your official authorisation bouts cannot occur outside of an official SCA event or practice.
