Armored Steel Combat:Introduction

Introduction

1. This handbook is the latest revision of a set of rules for Armored Combat with Rebated Blades (Armored Steel Combat).
2. These rules are to be used in conjunction with the Society Armored Combat Marshal’s Handbook with the intent of setting the minimum standard which participating Kingdoms are to utilize.
3. Any changes to these rules require the review and approval of the Society Marshal for Armored Combat for Rebated Blades except as noted below.
4. All fighters and marshals are responsible for knowing these rules, as well as the additional rules of their Kingdom.
5. Rules are designed to promote safe rebated steel combat in the Society. No matter how clear or accurate, rules cannot replace common sense, good judgment, and concern for the participants and spectators. If a question arises when applying these standards, choose the answer that promotes the greatest degree of safety for all participants.
