Announcements

From the Society Deputy Earl Marshal for Youth Combat:

The Society Deputy Earl Marshal for Youth Combat has confirmed the intent to phase out use of PVC in the construction of youth combat weapons society wide. The final form of this ruling and the exact cutoff date is yet to be determined. To make the transition easier when it happens, and allow evaluation of alternative materials, the interim weapon construction guidelines below will be adopted.

A full set of Society Youth Combat rules should be released later this year. A rewrite of the kingdom rules will be required at that time. Suggestions are welcome.

All youth marshals in the Middle Kingdom should confirm that their Regional Youth Combat Marshal has up to date contact information so that any rule changes can be disseminated as quickly as possible.
