>Greetings all,
>As some of you may know, there has been some discussion recently among
>the senior SCA marshallate about changing the SCA armor standards for
>'non-contact participants'.  The Deputy Society Marshal for Combat
>Archery has now asked the Kingdom DEM-CAs to present the proposed armor
>change to the fighters and combat archers of their kingdom, and to
>solicit comments from them.  In Atlantia, his rule change will primarily
>affect combat archers and siege weapon crews, but it also applies to
>scouts and other 'non-contact participants'.
>
>Note that this rule does not affect combat archers participating in
>Rapier Combat.  Full Rapier Combat armor will continue to apply to them.
>
>
>There will be 30 days for feedback, then the final draft will be made. If
>you have any suggestions on a different or better wording or things that
>should or could be changed, please let me know.
>
>I apologize in advance for any multiple postings you may receive.  I am
>trying to get the maximum distribution possible.  Feel free to forward
>this to any unlisted individuals you think may be interested.  If you are
>the moderator of an applicable list which is not in the addressees for
>this posting, please forward this to your list.  Thank you

>Proposed Armor Rule Changes
>
>All participants on the field shall meet the minimal Society standards
>for a fully armoured, heavy weapons combatant (with one exception, as
>noted below). (This would include combat archers, siege, scouts, banner
>bearers, slingers, staff
>slingers, axe throwers, etc.) It would not include marshals, water
>bearers or chirurgeons.
>These standards can be found in the marshal's handbook or online, on the
>Society Marshal's website here:
>
>http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/armored/armor_standards.pdf
>
>The only exception to this rule shall be those archers equipped with the
>"Archer's Gauntlets''.  All missile combatants can wear two archer's
>gauntlets. A full gauntlet is recommended for the bow hand, but not
>required. The "Archer's Gauntlet'' shall be a minimum of a hockey glove
>with the fingers cut off, so that the back of the hand and the wrist are
>protected. Other gauntlets such as demi-gauntlets may be used in place of
>the "Archer's Gauntlet'' described above, so long as they provide
>equivalent or greater protection.
>
>Participants will have a maximum of 18 months to upgrade their helms to
>16 gauge or better, if they need to do so. That change will be effective
>(date to be inserted here, once the ruling is made) (Note by Tnek:
>Atlantia already requires 16 gauge helms for combat archers).
>
>All participants will have a maximum of 6 months to upgrade any other
>armor that they need to fit the Society standards. That change will be
>effective (date to be inserted here, once the ruling is made).
>
>________________________________________________________________________
>___________

>
>In effect this means that the minimum armor for all participants is: 1. A
>helm of 16 gauge (or better)
>2. Neck Armor:
>3. The kidney area,
>4. Groin protection.
>4. Hand and Wrist Armor: A minimum of 2 archers gauntlets for missile
>combatants.
>5. Rigid knee and elbow protection.
>b. All individuals will wear sturdy footwear while engaged in combat
>activities.
>
>Please check the society standards for specifications on what is allowed
>
>or not.
