Designated areas
General
- The armored combat marshal-in-charge will designate the areas where armored combat activities are allowed to occur, in coordination with the event steward and event marshal-in-change.
- Combat must only occur in an area that has been designated for combat.
List field
- The area should have access and space to support marshals.
- The area should be clearly marked or have natural boundaries to exclude non-participants.
- Check that the area can be safely fought upon (i.e. can someone in armor, with restricted vision, cross it safely),
- Check for holes, soft spots, rocks, etc. If possible, these should be marked or cordoned off. If a serious hazard cannot be worked around, move the fighting location.
Battlefield
- A buffer zone needs to be provided between the edges of the battlefield and spectators at all times. This needs to be increased when combat archery and/or siege is included.
- It should not be possible to hit a spectator, either with direct fire or with a bounced missile, so the marshal-in-charge must make sure there is sufficent distance to minimize the chances of deflected shots traveling into the spectators.
- Physical barriers could eliminate the need for a buffer zone or lessen the distance needed.
