      • RBG's get 1 shot. Hits to weapons/shields destroy the arm and weapon attached. You may choose to take a limb wound as a kill.
      • Thrown Kinves may be picked up and reused. These may be safely parried in midair.
      • Everyone is considered authorized in all dagger forms for the purposes of this tournament, except sword and dagger. For that you must have the standard SCA authorization. If you are not authorized in any weapon form check off the space when you get to that style, then use Single Sword.
