- 4. You can also use your discretion to authorise a fencing marshal in any category that you believe is required to benefit the Kingdom and the Society. This might include appointing experienced fencers or marshals in a category in order to promote that type of fencing within a group.
- 5. You must make those appointments in writing, send a copy to the Kingdom Lists Officer as a record, and include the details of the appointment in your quarterly report.
- Now
- You can also use your discretion to authorise a Fencing Marshal or Authorising Fencing Marshal without undertaking the normal processes, should you believe it is required to benefit the Kingdom and the Society. This might include appointing experienced fighters as marshals in order to promote that type of fencing within a group. This should only be done when the normal process cannot be appiled, and does not overrule any other requirements. For example, Authorising Fencing Marshals must still be authorised in a form of combat to authorise fencers in that form. You must make those appointments in writing, send a copy to the Kingdom Lists Officer as a record, and include the details of the appointment in your quarterly report.
- Functional change
- Limits the ability of the Kingdom Fencing Marshal to issue Marshal authorisations by fiat.
- Reason
- Our authorisation processes exist to ensure a level of rigour and accountability, and shouldn't be overridden at will.
- 16.4 - Kingdom Earl Marshal
- Inserted information on the Kingdom Earl Marshal as a reminder that they are part of the officers responsible for fencing, and fencers can become the Earl Marshal.
