Structure

  1. Youth Combat follows the same structure as the rest of the Marshallate, as found in the Marshal's Handbook | here, with the roles and responsibilities

Outline

  1. The Kingdom Earl Marshal has overall responsibility for the Lochac marshallate.
  2. The Kingdom Deputy Earl Marshal for Youth Combat has overall responsibility for the Lochac Youth Combat programme.
  3. There are three hierarchies that go by the name "marshal": authorised marshals, marshals who are group officers, and marshals who have specific roles at events.
  4. "Rostered marshal" is a general term for authorised Marshals and Senior Marshals who are current SCA members (subscribing members, not just event members). It doesn't include Auxiliary Marshals.

Requirements to act as a Youth Combat marshal

  1. You must be at least 18
  2. You must show your authorisation card to the lists officer or Marshal in Charge if required.
  3. You must meet all the standards for working with children in the country/state

Requirements to act as a rostered marshal

Authorise fighters No No Yes
Authorise Marshals No No Yes

A Marshal or Senior Marshal whose Subscribing Membership has lapsed counts as an Auxiliary Marshal until their membership is renewed.

Auxiliary Marshal

  1. An auxiliary marshal is a person who knows the basics of observing combat and how to move around safely on the combat field.
  2. The purpose of the auxiliary marshal role is to create a large pool of people authorised to assist the marshal of the field with observing and controlling combat, and to allow a person to gain the training and marshalling experience required to become an authorised marshal while under the supervision and instruction of authorised marshals.
  3. If you are an authorised Youth Sparring partnert you are automatically an Auxiliary Marshal as well
  4. You can authorise as an Auxiliary Marshal without being a combatant; see: Authorisation of auxiliary marshals.
  5. Auxiliary marshals are not Rostered Marshals.
  6. An auxiliary marshal may:
    1. Be a Field Marshal
    2. Inspect armour and weapons under the direct supervision of a Rostered Marshal.
  7. An auxiliary marshal may not:
    1. Be Marshal in Charge of a field, or event
    2. Inspect armour and weapons (except under the supervision of a Rostered Marshal)
    3. Make rulings on equipment, revoke authorisations, or act in any marshallate capacity not specifically allowed in the rule above
