Thrown weapons marshals - specific responsibilities

1. Marshals shall be knowledgeable about thrown weapons, range safety, and SCA and kingdom thrown weapon rules.
2. A marshal must maintain current knowledge of the Rules of the Lists, the conventions of thrown weapons, and any additional kingdom rules or conventions as they change or are updated.
3. Thrown weapons marshals are responsible for taking all reasonable steps for ensuring that all throwers are familiar with and comply with the SCA and kingdom thrown weapons rules.
4. Marshals should be aware of all modern laws that are relevant to thrown weapons in the area where they are marshaling.
5. The marshal-in-charge of the activity may request the assistance of other marshals in running the line and inspecting equipment. However, the responsibility for safely setting up and running the range remains with the marshal-in-charge of the activity.
6. Should a situation arise not explicitly covered by Society or kingdom rules, the marshals should be prepared to use their discretion and best judgement and not assume that the situation is forbidden or inappropriate.
7. No matter how clear or accurate, rules cannot replace common sense, good judgment, and concern for the participants and observers.
