Chapter 3Rules of the Lists3.1 Introduction1. The basic rules for SCA combat are contained in the Rules of the Lists. These rules were not originallydesigned to cover non-tourney field activities such as wars, combat archery, and period fencing, but have beenextended to cover these activities. The observance of honour and chivalry and the safety of the combatantsare considered over-riding elements. The following is intended to bring together the appropriate rules forconducting both tourney field combat and other SCA combat activities.2. Section 3.2 below is reproduced verbatim from section IX.B of the April 2006 revision of the Corpora of theSCA Inc. It is reproduced here for convenience. Changes to Corpora shall override the rules in this section.3. Section 3.3 on the following page below is reproduced verbatim from section II.C of the August 2006revision of the Society Marshals Handbook. It is reproduced here for convenience. Changes to the SocietyMarshals Handbook shall override the rules in this section.3.2 Rules of the Lists1. Each combatant, recognising the possibilities of physical injury to him/herself in such combat, shall assumeunto him/herself all risk and liability for harm suffered by means of such combat. No combatant shall engagein combat unless and until he/she has inspected the field of combat and satisfied him/herself that it is suitablefor combat. Other participants shall likewise recognise the risks involved in their presence on or near thefield of combat, and shall assume unto themselves the liabilities thereof.2. No person shall participate in Combat-Related Activities (including armoured combat, period fencing, combatarchery, scouting and banner bearing in combat) outside of formal training sessions unless he/she shallhave been properly authorised under Society and Kingdom procedures.3. All combatants must be presented to, and acceptable to, the Sovereign or his/her representative.4. All combatants shall adhere to the appropriate armour and weapons standards of the Society, and to anyadditional standards of the Kingdom in which the event takes place.

Shoulda rostered marshal bar any weapon or armour, an appeal may be made to the Sovereign to allow the weaponor armour.6. Combatants shall behave in knightly and chivalrous manner, and shall fight according to the appropriateSociety and Kingdom Conventions of Combat.7. No one may be required to participate in Combat-Related Activities. Any combatant may, without dishonouror penalty, reject any challenge without specifying a reason.
