Attention, re:inspections at Pennsic
Hello Rapier combatants, Rapier 2 for Pennsic here – I just confirmed with Rapier 1 (William Trommelen) that Rapier will not be using inspection stickers this year. However, all rapier combatants are expected to:
1)get your armor & gear inspected before EVERY time you fight – ie before every melee, every tournament, every time you show up to do pickups – preferably by a marshal from your kingdom but any marshal can inspect to society standards.
2)keep a copy of your authorization card available in case a marshal or MoL asks for it – if you can, print a copy (and maybe laminate it.) You should find a way to have it ON THE FIELD WITH YOU for warpoints, but carrying your phone for warpoints is not recommended. In your bag under a shade/tent is okay for tourneys, as long as a you can run & grab it if a marshal needs to see your auths, or you can bring it to the MoL.
YIS,
