Notes - Combat Authorisation Requirements

Editing required (remove once incorporated into rules)

• Remove Marshal in Training as a thing - Add Auxillary Marshals (which includes all heavy combatants)
• Clarify that Combat Archery requires either a Heavy authorisation or Plumed Participant authorisation as well. Heavy authorisations also grant Auxiliary Marshal authorisation and Plumed Participant authorisation.
• Update to note that only Senior Marshals can do authorisations.
• Update to lochac.sca.org urls where available

Notes

Exemption for minors May 2018 - Lochac has an exemption from Society rule: I B 6. 6. Minors engaging in combat with adults shall be marked in the following manner: A single yellow diamond no larger than 1inch (25.4 mm) but no smaller than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) to be placed on the front hemisphere of the helm (preferably on or near the inspection sticker). Minors competing with adults in Rapier will have the same diamond on the cuff of the glove of their dominant weapon hand.

Minors engaging in combat activities in Lochac are not required to wear such markings.
