{{Special Mention Box|Officer=Master at Arms|Title=New Ruling regarding standards
|Caption=Please note that the below rule is being removed in its entirety. All standards and equipment must be compliant with the MaA regulations. We almost never see non compliant equipment these days anyway and to prevent any accidents it has been decided to entirely prevent the access of non compliant equipment on to the field.<br>
* they are removed from the field and made safe before competitive combat begins, or at another suitable time as agreed with the MaA.
The MaA (or his appointed Deputy or Assistants) reserves the right to refuse permission to bring a standard onto the field if he feels that safety will be compromised. Standards that have not been presented to the Master-at-Arms may be summarily removed from the field."}}</noinclude>
