Hold: When you hear “Hold”, stop immediately and repeat the call. Any player may call hold when they are in an unsafe situation including injury. It is only to be used for an unsafe situation and will not to be used to discuss the rules.
Face: The face and throat are considered off limits, should not be aimed for and need not be taken as a hit. The face is defined from the eyebrows to the jaws down to the bottom of your chin. The throat is defined as above your collarbone in between your shoulder blades up to your chin.
Charge: There is absolutely no charging. Charging is defined as forcing another player to move to avoid body contact.
Pommels: Pommels and cross-guards are not considered proper striking surfaces and need not be taken as a hit.
Thrown: No heavy cored weapon (all weapons unless otherwise stated) can be thrown.
Bows: Bows and assisted projectiles are not allowed.

Fun: Everyone here is here to have fun. If you are finding yourself angry or upset for any reason, please remove yourself from game to calm down. Enjoy yourself while being safe and not ruining anyone else’s fun.
