Each kingdom has its own set of combat rules within the Society guidelines. Here's what you'll need to know about combat rules, armour and weapon standards within Caid. Print out a copy to read and study in preparation for your Authorization test.

Waivers

If you are a Minor, you absolutely MUST have copies of two more waivers, links to which can be found on the Minors page

Every time you participate in rapier combat, be it practice, a local event, or a war with 200+ blood-frenzied combatants, you will need to have a waiver on record. This shows that you acknowledge you are participating in a potentially dangerous sport, and will not hold the SCA or any of its officers liable for any injuries you might sustain while fighting. You have two options on this matter:

  1. Get an SCA Membership. Part of your membership is a subscription-long blanket waiver. Membership has its privileges.

  2. Sign a site waiver at each and every rapier event you fight in (this gets old REAL fast). However, if you're just trying out rapier and/or don't want to get a membership yet, this will get you on the field.
