When you are allowed to participate

Age requirements

  1. There are no age requirements at the Society level for taking part in thrown weapons.
  2. To be a marshal in thrown weapons, you must be at least 16 years old.
  2. If you are a minor (under the age of majority in the jurisdiction where the event is held):
    1. Before you can participate at any event (including practices), your parent or legal guardian will need to execute a waiver, indemnity, or other required document. Minor waiver forms are available in the sca.org document library
    2. You must have a parent or legal guardian present, or have a properly executed document in your possession that designates an adult person present at the event as able to authorize medical treatment for you in the case of any emergency. Minor medical forms are available in the sca.org document library
    3. Your parent or your designated adult must remain on site of any practice or event and be able to be reached easily and immediately.
  3. No minors (under the age of majority in the jurisdiction where the event is held) may be warranted as a group marshal, or the marshal-in-charge of an event.
  4. Kingdoms are allowed to establish additional limitations on the participation of minors, if it is necessary.
  2. The marshal-in-charge of the activity is allowed to set age restrictions on their activity, such as youth only, or have separate scoring based on age.

Sign-in requirements

  1. To participate in any SCA martial activities at events, including SCA practices, you must complete any sign-in requirements. These include:
    • Signing a general waiver, or showing proof that you have one on file (for example, proof of current membership).
    • For minors, additional documents may be required.
    • For kingdoms outside of the United States, waiver requirements vary.

Authorization and inspection requirements

  1. There is no requirement at the Society level for authorization in throwing weapons (i.e. throwers do not need to be authorized).
  2. An authorized and warranted thrown weapons marshal must be present, and will provide instructions on range procedures.
  3. Before taking part in any thrown weapons activities, your weapons and equipment must be inspected and approved by a marshal warranted for this purpose and activity. This includes lessons and practices.
  4. Even though a marshal inspected your weapons and equipment, you accept full responsibility for the condition of your own equipment. You have the obligation to yourself, the marshals, and all participants, to see that your equipment meets all Society and kingdom requirements.

Injury and impairment

  1. You are not allowed to participate with impaired judgment, which includes:
    1. Being impaired by an injury such as a concussion.

Right to refuse

  1. You do not have to take part in any Society martial activity if you don't want to.
  2. You can refuse a challenge, decide not to take part in a bout or round, or decide to withdraw from a bout or round.
  3. If you are in a competition, refusing a challenge might result in you forfeiting the bout or round.
