it doesnt.  the sca covers pre-seventeenth century europe(and cultures that
may hae visited european courts).  the "start" date was dropped a few years
ago.  here is what is found in corpora:

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE ANACHRONISM
The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA, Society) is a nonprofit
educational organization devoted to
study of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Most of its activities take place
in the context of a social structure
adapted from the forms of the European Middle Ages, which allows
participants to take a first-hand look at
various aspects of the life, culture and technology of the times under
study.
As a living history group, the Society provides an environment in which
members can recreate various aspects
of the culture and technology of the period, as well as doing more
traditional historical research. We sponsor
events such as tournaments and feasts where members dress in clothing styles
worn in the Middle Ages and
Renaissance, and participate in activities based on the civil and martial
skills of the period. These activities
recreate aspects of the life and culture of the landed nobility in Europe
prior to 1600 CE. The dress, pastimes,
and above all the chivalric ideals of the period serve to unify our events
and activities.
For Society members, most of the world, and all of the centuries prior to
the 17th, can serve as a source for
personal research. However, the further you go from the core of Medieval and
Renaissance Europe, the less
the environment we offer will resemble what someone of your time and country
would find natural or
homelike. For example, you can be an Asian or African guest at a European
court, but you cannot expect
others to share your special interests - like any long-term visitor in a
foreign land, you are the one who will
have to adapt to the customs you find around you. Since members have free
choice of what areas they will
explore, it follows that Society branches cannot decide to specialize in a
specific time and place, since that
would make it hard for members there to pursue their own interests in other
times and places.
