Marshaling Teams may remove any combatant from the current battle for misconduct including: excessive blow force and/or failure to acknowledge acceptable blows, cheating, safety reasons, breaking fighting conventions or weapon standards. The Earl Marshals of the Principal Kingdoms may remove any combatant from the field for the duration of the war for just and stated cause. All decisions may be appealed to the Principal Monarchs.
      1. Indiscretions and / or removal of a combatant must be reported to the combatant's Kingdom Earl Marshal before the next day's combat if the fighter resides in one of the Principal Kingdoms. If the fighter does not reside in a Principal Kingdom, a written report must be sent to the Earl Marshal of the combatant's Kingdom of residence in the month following the war.
    3. All Marshals may bring any of the above actions to the attention of the Earl Marshals of the Principal Kingdoms.

    8. No participant may fight and marshal simultaneously during battles.
    9. Any Principal Monarch may remove a marshal from the field for the duration of a single scenario.

This decision may be appealed to any Principal Monarch.

  1. Water bearers must be 16 years or older to work in designated fighter areas. Waterbearers younger than 16 may only work in designated spectator areas.
  2. Marshalling for Combat Archery
    1. The Marshal in Charge shall be responsible for establishing a safe area for spectators and non- combatants. The Marshal in Charge shall ensure that all spectators are made aware of the danger of missile weapons prior to the start of combat. He shall attempt to minimize the risk to all spectators, participants, and bystanders as much as possible given the constraints of the site; and remove spectators and unarmored participants from the potential line of fire of missiles that are in use.
      1. Where combat including missiles is to take place, a readily identifiable boundary (edge of the field) for the combat shall be established. The Marshal in Charge shall establish a safe distance for the spectators from the boundary, while leaving a “buffer zone” of at least 10 yards (30’) between the edge of the field and the spectator area, as is appropriate to the scenario and missiles used. Both spectators and inactive fighters should place themselves outside this zone while combat is still taking place.
      2. The participating combat archers and their fighting units shall provide a reasonable number of trained and experienced Combat Archery Marshals. (One Senior Combat Archery (CA) Marshal per 10 archers, at minimum). If not enough CA Marshals and CA Marshals-in-charge are available, combat archery shall not take place until additional CA Marshals are drafted from the assembled combatants. If enough additional CA Marshals are not available to supervise re-inspection of arrows during resurrection battles, fiberglass arrows may only be shot once and will be considered spent for the remainder of that scenario.
      3. When any missiles are in use, eye protection in the form of single-lens safety glasses made of shatterproof polycarbonate (lexan) meeting ASTM F803 (such as racquet sports or lacrosse eyewear) is required for all unarmored participants (such as marshals, heralds, water bearers, etc.) on the field during combat. Eye protection in the form of a one piece lens (rather than glasses or goggles with two separate lenses) is more protective during an accidental impact. Eye protection should always include a retaining strap to keep it in place during an impact.
      4. The lenses of all personal (prescription) eye wear must be of a polycarbonate safety design. Ordinary glass or plastic lenses are prohibited. Eye protection meeting ASTM F803 is available in “over the glasses” models and must be worn over personal eye wear.
      5. A combatant’s legal helm is considered sufficient protection from missiles as long as it is being worn. Combatants shall not remove their helms or other armor until they have fully left the battlefield and are outside the “buffer zone”.
  1. WEAPONS & ARMOR STANDARDS
    1. Armor standards for each combatant shall be of their Kingdom of residence. However, Society minimum requirements as spelled out in the current Society Marshalate Rules as of the date of the signing of this Treaty and will be strictly enforced.
