;Thrusting tip thickness - October 2023
:Thrusting tip resilient material changed from 3/4 (0.75) inch to 1/2 (0.5) inch. The 1/2 inch thickness had been successfully used in Trimaris for 10 years with no issues.

==Spears==
;Fiberglass spear caps - October 2023
:Clarification to allow schedule-40 PVC cap or equivalent to remove issues with the legality of commonly used commericially available spear tips being used safely across the SCA.
;Mandrake tips removed from use on weapons over - October 2023
:2-inch Mandrake rubber tips have been removed from use on all weapons over 7 1/2 feet (2.29m). There is a risk of them folding and penetrating a bar grill.
;Maximum spear length reduced - October 2023
:Maximum length reduced from 12 feet to 9 feet to improve game play and simplify rules. This change only affected 6 kingdoms that still used 12-foot spears.
;Mention of Mandrake style rubber tips removed - March 2015
