Is this the most recent version?
This pdf has a date at the bottom of the page of the day that the file was generated from the SCA Society Marshal's Handbook wiki, so you will know how up-to-date your hard copy or file of the rules is.
Updates to the content (including fixing typographical errors) and alterations to the coding behind the pdf creation will trigger a new pdf to be available from that link. Any changes to the actual rules will be documented in the change log.
We don't recommend saving copies of the pdf to other locations, as they will become out of date when the wiki is updated with rule changes. Use a bookmark or save the link instead.
Introduction
- These rules set fundamental standards for Fencing Combat in the SCA. They are designed to allow use by the Kingdoms of the Society as basic rules.
- In keeping with Corpora, Kingdoms retain the right to add rules which establish more restrictive standards.
- All combatants and marshals are responsible for knowing these rules, as well as the additional rules of their Kingdom.
- Combat in the Society poses risks to the participant. This recognition, however, does not excuse fighters from exercising control of their techniques. If a fighter throws blows which force their opponent to retire from the field, from a real injury (even one which only causes brief incapacitation), the marshal responsible for the field shall take such steps as are appropriate to stop the problem from recurring.
- Rules are designed to promote safe combat in the Society. However, no matter how clear or accurate, rules cannot replace common sense, good judgment, and concern for the participants. If a question arises when applying these standards, choose the answer that promotes the greatest degree of safety for all participants. Should a situation arise not explicitly covered by Corporate or Kingdom Fencing rules, the marshals should not assume that the situation is forbidden or inappropriate. Rules are not meant to replace common sense, good judgment, and concern for the participants.
- Note: Bold terms are defined in the glossary.
