2.1.3 RULES FOR THROWN WEAPONS PARTICIPATION -MIDDLE KINGDOM
A. RULES OF THE LINE
1. Each thrower shall recognize that his/her equipment is a potentially lethal weapon, and understand the possibilities of physical injury to him/herself or others, and shall assume onto him/herself all risk and liability for harm. 
2. A warranted Thrown Weapons Marshal must be present at all S.C.A., Inc. events and practices.

4. Throwers shall behave in a courteous and safe manner at all times. 
5. Throwers shall stand behind the marked line when throwing (despite their natural pace length) to assure a safe zone from bouncing weapons. 
6. Only throwers and the line marshals are allowed in the throwing range. (see special circumstances). 
7. At the call of "HOLD!" throwers shall immediately lower their weapons.
