Global:Introduction to SCA martial activities - General rules

General rules

1. All participants, marshals, and administrators of martial activities in the SCA are responsible for knowing these rules, as well as any additional rules of their kingdom (i.e. your local chapter).
   1. Out-of-kingdom rules - if you are visiting or moving to another kingdom
   2. [[Attending inter-kingdom events
2. Many of our martial disciplines require you to officially demonstrate that you have the basic competence to not be a danger to yourself or others. This must be done before allowing you to participate in competitions or other activities outside of formal training. The demonstration and the accompanying documentation to record it is called "authorizing". Once completed, you are "authorized" for a period of time determined by your kingdom.
3. Marshals have the authority to regulate the movement of non-combatants on and near the field and to control the location of spectators.
