[MR] "Answered Privately"

[Sir Janos of Cyddlain Downs]

It is simple, the Society Marshal rules call for basically a touch kill to
the face.  The wording is (directed touch).  Personally We don't like the
idea that a scratch could determine the fight.  Since we can't change
Society rules and make it full (or at least significant force), we just
removed them for Crown.  Thrust are still allowed anywhere else.

In Service,

Janos & Rachel
