- Face protection in spear drills - 1 January 2024
- You must wear full face protection when your opponent has a spear during drills.
- Heavy leather - 1 January 2024
- The handbook previously had two contradicting definitions of 8oz heavy leather. We have settled on 3.2mm for 8oz leather to be consistent with Society rules.
- Neck protection - 1 January 2024
- Image added to clarify what parts of the neck must be protected by rigid material, and what sized gaps may be allowed.
- Footwear - 1 January 2024
- We have added a rule that everyone on the field must wear enclosed footwear to prevent punctures and resulting infection.
