;Was
;Was
:If you are an authorised Fencing Marshal, you can check equipment to make sure it complies with the rules. Information about fencing equipment is in Chapter 5 - Rules for equipment.
:What the text used to say
;Now
;Now
:If you are an authorised Fencing Marshal, you can check equipment to make sure it complies with the rules. Requirements for fencing equipment are in Protective equipment and Weapons and defensive equipment.
:What the proposed new text says
;Reason
:Updated links to updated sections.
<hr>
 
;Was 3.2.2, now 12.1.2 in General
:
;Was
:Your job includes:
:*making sure each fencer is wearing all of their protective clothing and equipment, and that it is fitted properly, with no skin visible and only incidental gaps between each item.
;Now
:Your job includes:
:*making sure each fencer is wearing all of their protective clothing and equipment, and that it is fitted properly, with only incidental gaps between each item.
;Functional change
;Functional change
:No visible skin is not a requirement as incidental gaps are permitted.
:What does this change actually do in terms of things we can now, or cannot now do?
;Reason
:No visible skin is not a requirement as incidental gaps are permitted.
<hr>
 
;Was 3.2.4, now 12.1.4
:
;Was
:Some defensive objects are classified as non-standard. You are responsible for deciding if non-standard equipment complies with the rules and can be used on the field.
;Now
:Some defensive objects are classified as non-standard. The Fencing Marshal-in-Charge is responsible for deciding if non-standard equipment complies with the rules and can be used on the field.
;Functional change
:The Fencing Marshal-in-Charge is the one who can decide on non-standard equipment, rather than just any Fencing Marshal
;Reason
:Prevents marshal hunting to allow an item.
<hr>
===6.2.3.1.a===
;Was
:For rubber-headed spears, check that the tip is flexible, and returns substantially to its original shape within 3 seconds.
;Now
:Check that the rubber tip is flexible, and returns substantially to its original shape within 3 seconds.
;Functional change
;None
;Reason
:Only rubber-headed spears may be used.
;For notes section
:April 2023 - Process updated to remove reference to steel-headed spears.
===6.2.3.1.b===
;Was
:For metal-headed spears, follow the inspection methods for a bladed weapon.
;Now
:Removed
;Reason
:Metal-headed spears are no longer permitted
 
===6.2.3.1.b (replacement)===
;Was
:Not in rules
;Now
:A marshal should not use significant force to make a spear head bend; you should not need more pressure than can be comfortably applied by the wrist. If in doubt and where possible, a second marshal should be used to judge the flexibility of the spear head.
;Functional change
:Sets a more objective measure of flexibility
;Reason
:Most objects can be subject to significant tensile strength and many can return to their original shape within 3 seconds. As written, and as evidenced by some newer spear head designs, a marshal can apply a significant tensile load to a spear head (up to and including significant pressure from a hip whole body movement) to make a spear head "pass". This is unacceptable and unsafe. This is a stop-gap solution until a broader Society flex-test can be developed (underway).
;For notes section
:April 2023 - Spear head flex testing - Most objects can be subject to significant tensile strength and many can return to their original shape within 3 seconds. As previously written, a marshal could apply a significant tensile load to a spear head (up to and including significant pressure from a hip whole body movement) to make a spear head "pass". This was unacceptable and unsafe. The current wording is is a stop-gap solution until a broader Society flex-test can be developed.
 
===6.2.3.2.a===
;Was
:Check that the haft is made of appropriate material (rattan for rubber-headed spears; wood or rattan for metal-headed spears).
;Now
:Check that the haft is made of rattan.
;Reason
:Metal-headed spears are no longer permitted
 
===6.2.3.2.b===
;Was
:Check that the rattan haft is the appropriate diameter (between 28.5 mm and 35 mm).
;Now
:Check that the haft is between 28.5 mm and 35 mm in diameter.
;Reason
:Rattan is the only material allowed for spears.
 
===6.2.3.2.c===
;Was
:Check that the spear is the appropriate length (no longer than 275 cm for rubber-headed spears, or 244 cm for metal-headed spears).
;Now
:Check that the spear is no longer than 275 cm.
;Reason
;Reason
:Metal-headed spears are no longer permitted
:Why are you making this change?
;For notes
:Heading - date of change. What are you going to record about this change in the Notes for the page to explain to readers what happened to the rules. Particularly note if we are being more restrictive than Society rules, or have a variance from Society rules.
