Currently open to those with the equivalent of a minimum of one year moderate experience participating in cut and thrust. Contact: Gabriel of Maccuswell, cut-thrust@marshal.ansteorra.org Reduced Armor Experiment Coordinator: Santiago Rodrigo y Draco de Aranjuez, santiagoansteorra@gmail.com We are very excited to announce that Ansteorra will be participating in the Reduced Armor experiment! This is going to help out tremendously with the Ansteorran heat that’s coming up here in a couple months. Here are the signup instructions, please follow and review the steps explicitly or participation will not be allowed: STEP 1: READ THE EXPERIMENT RULES IN DETAIL (on the East Kingdom Website): https://rapier.eastkingdom.org/reduced-armor-experiment/?fbclid=IwAR3dMQzv_CZdYJvlqY_FTr2wQYV6tK9NwCKMAg2x4rdf9waKYzP7aMVj6nk STEP 2: SIGN UP FOR THE EXPERIMENT: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PKe1NZgG1ITR6ZhouU1N2e6bO6ixlg4n0GCyT9o8-dQ/edit?ts=642ca023#response=ACYDBNjceKsrqNnKiMVC5GJOdswEk5lKpUk99vEakOUHjCQWadaRxScnHNQcVXsnwA STEP 3: AWAIT RESPONSE FROM MARSHAL / EXPERIMENT COORDINATOR STEP 4: REQUEST “REDUCED ARMOR EXPERIMENT” AUTHORIZATION FROM THE STEP 3 MARSHAL & PRINT NEW AUTHORIZATION CARD. PLEASE NOTE- YOU MUST ALREADY BE AN AUTHORIZED FIGHTER WITH AN AUTHORIZATION CARD TO PARTICIPATE. STEP 5: HAVE FUN, BE CAUTIOUS OF YOUR OPPONENTS’ TIP CONDITION, & REPORT AFTER EVERY EVENT / PRACTICE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NUXdo4_kOEWegeNjkSqeP146DhKlngSbdH7SZtzijPk/viewform?edit_requested=true&fbclid=IwAR0k1-oc_58LT3dIo40M5Mq8CMNBiuOAxdCJq6TKbeD31AdQ9SIKwRkgvRs Now you might be wondering, what does this mean for me, a Marshal? Please make inspecting blades a priority! We want to make sure tip life and integrity is guaranteed throughout this experiment. We also want to make sure that Burrs are not on blades every time inspections happen! This is something that should be getting done already, but both of these become more crucial with this experiment. Marshals in charge of events and practices may disallow this experiment on their field, however I would encourage anyone who feels this way to contact the Experiment Coordinator (contact info above) or the Kingdom Rapier Marshal to discuss their concerns. |
