Board/Committee approval for rule changes
The Board of SCA Ltd Australia and SCANZ Inc have liability, so should have sign off on rule changes. If not, are they happy for a non-member (eg not a member of SCA Ltd) to make decisions that affect their liability.
This also affects one of the Rules of the Lists - the Sovereign can't just waive something like our requirement for mesh during mixed combat.

Armoured Combat Editing Notes
Combat Authorisation Reqs
- Update to lochac.sca.org urls where available
- Suggest upping minimum age for banner bearers to 16. War is an armoured combat activity, and no armoured combatant may be under 16. It walks like a duck, sounds like a duck...
Armour requirement
- Update as per rulings and clarifications in text of notes.
- get a diagram of the parts of the hand and wrist which must be armoured.
Melee Weapon standards
- Footnote re towball covers can be removed but this exemption is now no longer relevant due to the existence of low-profile thrusting tips.
- "Restraints are not required on great weapons or spears used single-handed, or on single-handed back-up weapons less than 45 centimetres in length." Society rules don't include a max length for back-up single-handed weapons not requiring lanyards. Is this a specifically Lochac thing?
- incorporate changes from rulings in notes
Missile Weapon Standards
- Define rigid and non-rigid quivers (use rigid material standards?)
Changes to rules
- also need to update change log page when changes are incorporated
- should also require the approval of the SCA NZ Inc committee and SCA Ltd Australia Board as they hold the liability.
- changes to the rules which would affect our exemptions should also include an update to those exemptions from Society Earl Marshal.
