    4. inspect weapons and armour.
  3. The process for authorising youth armoured combat marshals is the same as that for authorising adult armoured combat marshals, as found in the Lochac Marshals Handbook, with relevant reference to the youth armoured combat rules. Process for authorising sparring partners?
