  2. These rules are designed to promote safe rapier combat in the Kingdom.

If a question arises when applying these standards, choose the answer that promotes the greatest degree of safety for all participants.

  4. This document is subject to change as clarifications are added, as mundane law develops or as situations arise. All participants are required to remain abreast of any changes so as to reduce potential confusion on the field.
