Rapier:Authorization process example - Re-authorization procedure

Re-authorization procedure

1. This re-authorization procedure is for renewing an existing or recently expired authorization.
2. This re-authorization procedure requires:
   1. The candidate, who has enough experience or training to be ready to authorize.
   2. A marshal, who is warranted to conduct authorizations for rapier combat in the kingdom.
3. Regardless of how recently the fighter's authorization has lapsed, the authorizing marshal must test the fighter on their knowledge of the rules, particularly any rules that have changed within the last 4 years.
4. If the authorizing marshal has not seen the participant fight recently enough to confirm that they still meet the required competencies, observe them during combat and confirm that they are still competent, or run through the practical test.
5. If a fighter has been sanctioned (e.g. had their authorization removed or suspended), the authorizing marshal must confirm that the issues relating to the sanction have been addressed.
