site ruLes
King’s Arrow Ranch is private property. The Autocrats, Autocrat designee, or site owner has the right to refuse or deny admission without cause or reason of any kind. Regis-tration and attendance is tacit agreement that you will follow site rules. Infractions of the established rules may result in curtailment of activities and/or expulsion from site without refund of fees.
This is not a comprehensive list of site rules. Additional rules and standards may be found in various departments’ standard operating procedures. A “common sense” ap-proach to rules and code of conduct will be applied to areas not specifically addressed in this document. The Autocrats are the final arbiters of grievances and issues not specifi-cally covered here.
—General Site ruleS—• Participants are required to make an attempt at pre-17th century clothing.• All federal, state, and local laws apply. If you break mundane law, we will call mun-
dane authorities.• No fighter’s card = no combat-related activities.• No fireworks.• No firearms or cannons.• No swimming. The swimming pool is closed.• No fire spinning, spitting fire using chemical agents, or other fire-related perfor-
mances (including fire twirling, juggling, swallowing, etc.).• A site-wide speed limit of 5 mph is strictly enforced. Speeding may be grounds for
ejection from the event.• Sales of merchandise or services, including raffle tickets, fundraisers, and auctions,
are prohibited outside the designated merchant areas in accordance with Missis-sippi sales tax laws.
• Punctuality is essential due to the full nature of the schedule. If you are late for a function, it is up to the individual(s) running the event as to whether latecomers are allowed.
ruLe oF thumB: if it’S danGerouS, don’t do it!
—entry Policy—The medallion issued at Troll is your receipt for the event. You must wear your medallion at all times. If you leave site, you must show your medallion to re-enter, or you will be required to pay for entry.
LOST MEDALLIONS
Lost medallions will not be replaced. If you cannot find your medallion after checking with Lost and Found at The Watch, you may bring your paper receipt to Troll to receive a wristband in lieu of a medallion. The wristband must be worn at all times. If you leave the site, you must show your wristband to re-enter, or you will be required to pay for entry.
TRESPASSING
Trespassing, including gate crashing or sneaking onto site, is against the law and is a punishable offense. Anyone caught trespassing or aiding in the act of gate crashing will not be allowed to remain on site.
Some private camps are located on personal lands adjacent to the site. Anyone entering site from these adjacent lots must be registered and hold site medallions. Should a camp allow individuals to enter the site without being properly registered, punitive measures may be taken. It is also understood that these land-holders will “police” their own to make sure all site rules are enforced and carry sufficient insurance to cover liability and damage claims.
—alcohol—The legal drinking age in Mississippi is 21. Observe the law. Anyone serving/giving alco-hol to a minor will be expelled from site, PERIOD! Ignorance is no excuse. Alcohol will not be served by anyone to anyone not possessing a government-issued photo ID or other acceptable proof of age anywhere on the Gulf Wars site. If you choose to violate this, you do so under your own cognizance. We will not cover for you.
—animalS—Animals on site include, but are not limited to, horses, sport dogs, birds of prey, and service dogs. By registering and entering the site, you acknowledge your awareness of the animals on site and accept all liability for interactions with the animals.• All dogs must check in with Animal Control upon entering site for the first time.• Service dogs are allowed ONLY if pre-registered with Animal Control.
• Non-service dogs are allowed ONLY if pre-registered with Kennel Lands (see “Kennel Lands,” page 23).
• Unspayed female dogs are not allowed if they are in heat during Gulf Wars.• Horses are allowed ONLY if pre-registered with the Equestrian Deputy (see “Eques-
trian,” page 20).• Other animals (cats, snakes, goats, etc.) are considered “pets” for the purposes
of this event, even if they are considered “service animals” by the pet owner. For health and safety reasons, pets are not allowed at Gulf Wars.
• Due to health and sanitation concerns, no live animals can be brought to site for the purpose of slaughter, encampment cooking, ritual use or bait/prey.
• Animals used for educational purposes may be allowed, subject to specific provisos and limitations, but only with the express permission of Animal Control and the Autocrats.
Individuals who bring unapproved animals to Gulf Wars will have two options: find boarding arrangements off-site, or leave site with no refund. Non-compliance with these rules can lead to removal of any animal and or owner/handler from the event.
SERVICE ANIMALS
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), only dogs are recognized as service animals effective March 2011. Specifically, a service animal is any canine, re-gardless of breed, that has been trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, whether that disability be physical, emotional or mental. Dogs that meet this definition are considered service animals by the ADA, whether or not they are licensed or certified by state or local government.
All service animals must be registered with Animal Control, located at Troll, upon arrival on site. The owner/handler must sign a waiver and furnish a copy of each service ani-mal’s rabies certificate, complete with veterinarian’s name, address, and phone number, to register the animal. Rabies tags will NOT be accepted as proof of vaccination. Animal site tokens will be issued to each animal and must be worn at all times. Owners/han-dlers will receive a copy of the animal Rules and Responsibilities.
Service animals must wear identifying leads, harnesses, pins or vests and may not be left unattended at any time. Animals must be on a leash or in a turn-out pen with an owner/handler in attendance at all times. Owners/handlers must clean up after their animals. If the dog’s behavior is disruptive or destructive, you will be asked to remove it from the premises.
—children—Per Gleann Abhann kingdom law:• Children must not be left unattended.• Children under the age of 12 must be within sight or voice range of a designated
responsible person at least 15 years old at all times.• Failure to follow these rules may result in sanctions ranging from expulsion from site
to notification of mundane authorities, depending on the circumstances.
—day PavilionS—Day pavilions are not allowed next to the fighting field for safety reasons. Instead, there is a roped-off path between the edge of the fighting field and all day pavilions. The Field Pavilion Coordinator must receive a request for a spot before war as well as approve the placement of all day pavilions in person at war. When you receive permission, you will be issued a permit that must be displayed in the pavilion at all times.• No pavilion may be set up until its owner has received authorization from the Field
Pavilion Coordinator, who is a deputy of the Landcrat.• No overnight sleeping is allowed in day pavilions.• Field pavilion space is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.• Unauthorized field pavilions will be dropped and seized.• Field pavilions may not have sides down except during inclement weather. Sides
must be removed in a timely fashion once the weather has cleared.• Vigil tents must also register as day pavilions and be issued a permit. Placement will
be authorized by the Field Pavilion Coordinator.
—fire Safety—King’s Arrow Ranch is in a pine forest. Watch patrols are authorized to enter empty camps and extinguish open or unattended flames. The following rules must be followed:• No ground fires. Fire pits are allowed with appropriate precautions and due regard
for safety.• No open flames in tents.• No bowl-type tiki torches allowed. Only torches with screw-on tops are permitted.• Tiki torches must be staked in a firm and stable fashion. Knocking over a burning
torch can cause extreme injury and property damage. Tiki torches may not be placed
4
in hay bales.• Do not leave torches, candles, or campfires unattended.• No flammable liquids may be thrown on fires.• All camps must have at least two fire suppression methods, such as water,
fire extinguishers, buckets of sand, fire flaps, etc. The department of Emergency Preparedness is authorized to check all camps for fire safety and investigate all infractions.
• There must be 10 feet between fire pits and tents.• All tents must be spaced 3 feet apart as a fire break.• Camps must be separated by at least 10 feet.• In the event of a fire, use extinguishers and immediately contact The Watch.• Feel free to burn brush piles and loose tree limbs found on site, and please share
freely with others. Return unused brush or wood to where you found it.• Should site management or Autocrat staff determine that further restrictions
are necessary for any reason, such further restrictions shall be announced and enforced.
—firSt aid—By action of the Board of Directors, the Chirurgeon’s Office has been dissolved. There is no Chirurgeon’s Point at Gulf Wars XXVII,nor will the war furnish any first aid or first aid supplies. Please make sure you are prepared for your own emergency needs. If your emergency requires ambulance or EMT services, call 911. You should also contact the Watch to clear traffic. We strongly suggest you bring your own first aid kit and any medi-cines you might require. Information on area medical services is posted at the Watch (Five Corners).
—GarbaGe—• Do not keep trash in your camp. It will attract unwanted insects and animals.• There are trash trailers and dumpsters with regular pick-ups. Please put your trash
in the trailers daily.• Police your site before leaving the war and deposit trash in dumpsters.• Remember our SCA tradition of leaving a site cleaner than we found it.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Do not place empty propane containers or other hazardous materials in the trash. You must take these off site for disposal. Do not leave hazardous materials of ANY sort be-hind. This includes propane bottles (full or empty), auto/marine batteries, and similar materials. Trash collected on site is burned. You do not want to be wondering if the person injured by shrapnel while burning trash was injured by your propane container.
—GaS-Powered equiPment—Electric scooters/power chairs are allowed and encouraged for our members with spe-cial needs. However, gas-powered scooters, private golf carts, and modern personal conveyances for convenience (e.g., bikes, skateboards, gas scooters) are not allowed.
—Golf cartS—Golf carts are for staff use only. “Borrowing” golf carts is unacceptable and will be dealt with appropriately, up to and including expulsion from site. The only golf carts allowed on site are those used by staff. If you see a golf cart being operated in an unsafe manner, please notify The Watch.
—information Point—Information Point is located in Five Points in the building with the Cry Heralds. A map of the site is available at this location throughout the war.
Changes to the master schedule, class schedule, and social events as well as important
messages will be available at Information Point and posted on signboards throughout the site. Updates will be posted at approximately 7 AM and 3 PM daily. Information Point will be manned from 9 AM to 5 PM Sunday through Friday and will close after the morning update on the last Saturday of the war.
If you would like flyers placed on information boards around site, bring 15 copies of your flyer to Information Point.
—land—If you are camping in an area that floods, we allow trenching around tents. You are responsible for filling in all trenches before you leave the war.
Gulf Wars is a semi-primitive site and there are many pests and insects. Please take the appropriate precautions.
Groups of 20 or more who wish to camp together must pre-register by the published deadline. Groups with permanent camping sites must pre-register at least 20 people or risk losing their land.
The Landcrat has final authority for the resolution of all land disputes.
—media Policy—Working members of the media can be identified by their Media Badges and will be accompanied by a member of the Media staff. Your presence here gives permis-sion for the media to photograph you in public areas. The media will not enter your encampment without permission. If you don’t want to be photographed, say so, or leave the area. We do our best to make sure the media do not interfere with SCA members’ fun and relaxation at the War. Royalty are assumed to be public figures when at public functions. If you have any questions, contact the Media officer through Information Point.
—merchantS—Merchants should see the Merchantcrat for any merchant questions or issues. Trench-ing is not allowed in the merchant area. The merchant area is used year-round for other activities.
—SiGn heraldS—There will be Sign Heralds at Opening and Closing Ceremonies. If you are in need of a Sign Herald for another part of the war, please find the Cry Heralds pavilion, where there will be a sign up sheet. Every attempt will be made to satisfy your request.
—Social media—Follow us on social media for updates and urgent messages:• FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/awarwithnoenemies• TWITTER: @GulfWars
—tobacco—There is no smoking in any of the public buildings or public event tents or within 30 feet of their entrances.• Do not infringe on the comfort of others. Keep smoke well away from main activities
and be conscious of the drift of your smoke.• Police your butts.
Private camps and buildings as well as activities organized and hosted by private indi-viduals and/or groups are not subject to this policy, unless they occur in public buildings or public event tents.
—vehicleS & ParkinG—• Fill out your issued car tag legibly and display it clearly on your dashboard. You will
not be allowed to re-enter site without a car tag.• There is a 3-hour time limit on vehicle unloading at campsites.• Do not block access to other vehicles in the parking lot.• Do not block access to handicapped parking.• Drive with your headlights on after dark.• You must display your state-issued handicapped plate or hang tag to receive a Gulf
Wars handicapped parking permit.• LOCK YOUR VEHICLE! We are not responsible for your goods.• If a vehicle is blocking traffic or another vehicle, causing a hazard, or parked in bla-
tant disregard of the parking policy, a MARGINAL effort will be made to locate the owner, time permitting. Otherwise, the vehicle will be towed at the owner’s ex-pense.

Arrangements for electricity in the merchant area must be made with the Merchantcrat. Do not block access to faucets or electrical outlets. Violators will be unplugged. Repeat offenders will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including ejection from the site.
If you use electrical extension cords, they must be rated for outdoor use. Water hoses and electrical cords must be buried at least an inch under ground cover. Failure to do so will result in confiscation.
You must use a Y-connector when connecting a hose to a spigot. Failure to use a Y-con-nector will result in confiscation. Be aware of where water is flowing. Dispose of water away from tents and encampments.
SHOWERS
If you plan to bring your own shower, it MUST have an internal water reservoir system to accommodate the water pressure requirements. If you erect a shower that does not have a reservoir system, you will be instructed to take it down. Failure to do so may result in eviction from site.

Greetings unto the populace of the Known World!
Welcome to Gulf Wars! It is with great pleasure and excitement that we join all of you here at War to battle on the
field’ to create works of art, music and dance; to learn; to work; and to revel together yet again.
Like each year, we gather as friends and hope our noble opponents on the field are as eager to clash in honorable battle and raise a toast with each other when the fighting is done. But
Gulf War is so much more than a gathering of armies. Artisans and newcomers alike can learn skills ranging from
period cooking styles and blacksmithing to dance and weaving. Our merchants offer the best shopping in the Known World, the food vendors create culinary delights, and the volunteers work
tirelessly to keep Gulf War an enjoyable experience for everyone.We urge you to find old friends to reconnect with, new
friends to make memories with, discover experiences that will help you grow, and create warm memories that you carry
with you always. We hope you experience THE DREAM!Gulf Wars is an exciting time, but it can only be made grand by the hundreds of volunteers. We humbly ask you to take a little time this week to work in service to the Dream in any
number of the volunteer opportunities.Most of all, have fun, be safe, be happy,
and be kind to one another.As always, in service to the Dream,
Lochlan and Gwen Rex et Regina Ansteorra
Greetings to All from the Kingdom of the Three Seas.
We would like to welcome one and all to Gulf Wars XXVII. This gathering of family and friends has become a yearly ritual for many, and We feel
blessed that We can be a part of that special week representing Trimaris as its King and Queen. We
hope everyone takes advantage of the many, many activities planned for the week, whether they be
martial, Arts and Sciences related, one of the myriad of classes being held, or just hanging out by a Bardic
circle enjoying a song or two.
We would like to remind everyone that this event is possible only because of the countless hours of
time given by many people from different Kingdoms across the Known World. Please take a moment to thank anyone you see giving of their time to make
this War what it is today, or donate some time as well, if you have some to spare.
Whether this is your 27th or 1st Gulf Wars, We hope you all make new friends, fond memories, and create tales of splendor, grace, and valor that will be
remembered for years to come.
Franco and Isabella King and Queen of Trimaris

Greetings unto the great and noble populace of the Known Worlde!
We have traveled far and wide across the Kingdoms of the Society to fight on storied battlefields, to
revel around warm fires and to feel the warmth of Our Cousins’ hospitality. While these journeys were magical in their own ways, We can truly say there is no place like home. Gulf Wars has an atmosphere that captures a spirit of courtesy and camaraderie that is rarely matched. We are so pleased that you
could all join Us to enjoy it and to celebrate “A War with No Enemies.”
Gulf Wars is filled with opportunities to acquire new things and meet new people, and We hope that you will find yourselves immersed in the joy of medieval living. We encourage everyone to explore the site, learn new skills on artisans row, volunteer for shifts to keep things running, fight in battles to help your
Kingdom secure victory, and, finally, settle in at night, surrounded by family and new friends. This Dream is so special to Us all, and together We can keep it alive.
In Service to the Dream,
Timothy and YsmayKing and Queen, Meridies

martial activitieS
—marShal’S court—Marshal’s Court is used to review both the decisions of marshals and the actions of combat activity participants. The Court convenes to determine if infractions of the Rules of the List or Conventions of Combat have occurred and to impose actions as needed.
CONVENING A MARSHAL’S COURT
The presiding marshal of a particular fighting activity, any marshal working the activity, or any affected individual may request that a Marshal’s Court be convened to examine the issues and determine what actions (if any) should be taken.
In addition, a Marshal’s Court will be held in the following circumstances:• Following any melee scenario where marshals had to caution or remove a fighter
for conduct on the field• To review and investigate any of the following:• Unchivalrous conduct• Use of excessive force• Violation of the Rules of the List, Conventions of Combat, or any supporting rules
and regulations• Use of illegal or un-inspected equipment• As a fact-finding body to examine the events leading to an injury to determine if a
specific fault needs to be addressedCOURT PROCEDURES
The marshal in charge of the activity area (Rapier or Heavy) will preside over the Mar-shal’s Court. The presiding marshal may request participation of other members of the marshalate as appropriate.
IMPORTANT: The presiding marshal of the event in which the infraction occurred must attend the Court. It is the responsibility of the presiding marshal to see that a Court report is forwarded to the MiC.
The presiding marshal may request written statements from or attendance of anyone deemed to have information pertinent to the incident. If the marshal in charge of the activity area is not available, the Gleann Abhann marshal of the pertinent area will pre-side over the court.
COURT ACTIONSActions that may be taken by the Marshal’s Court include:
Banning a person from an activity for a period of time up to the duration of the event• Banning a piece of equipment or fighting style from the field for a period of time up
to the duration of the event.• Confiscating an individual’s authorization card• Recommending an individual not be allowed to return to Gulf Wars• Warning an individual that these actions may be taken• Taking no action at all
IMPORTANT: If an injury prevents a fighter from participating in fighting activities, the offending fighter will be banned from all fighting activities for a correspond-ing period of time. This sanction is in addition to any other sanction imposed by the Marshal’s Court.
CHAIN OF APPEALDecisions of the Marshal’s Court supersede those of the lower marshalate authority, if different. Appeals of decisions made by the Marshal’s Court must be made in the fol-lowing order:• Marshal in Charge (MiC) of the War• Marshal’s Court comprised of the Kings of Ansteorra, Gleann Abhann, and Trimaris• King of Gleann Abhann (who is the final arbiter and his word is final)
—fiGhter SuPPort—Fighter Support supplies water, sports drinks, fruits, and snacks to help the populous stay hydrated and healthy.
Fighter Support stations will open one hour before battles start and will remain open and staffed for the duration of the fighting. The Main Point by the Fort will open around 8:00 AM and remain open until fighting and clean-up is done for the day.
Our goal is to provide Fighter Support stations for Heavy, Rapier and Youth Com-bat as well as Equestrian Activities, Target Archery, and Live Weapons. There are also several hydration points located around the event site (front and back gates, Scribe’s Point, etc.). The water supplied at these locations is for everyone’s enjoyment and convenience.
VOLUNTEERINGTo reach our goals, we need YOUR help. Please volunteer at the main Fighter Support station, located by the Fort on the Main Field. Volunteer as much as you can! It’s good for you and your kingdom! A few things to remember:• We can ALWAYS use help, even if you are under 18.• You must be 18 years old and wear closed shoes to provide Fighter Support on the
fighting field. This is a safety issue and will be enforced.• If you are ages 13-17, your parent or legal guardian must sign you in to Fighter Sup-
port.• If you are 12 years old or under, your parent or legal guardian must be present while
you work at Fighter Support..• No glass or live steel is allowed on the battlefield.• Wear clothing that allows you to move freely. We also recommend clothing that
covers your lower legs if you are providing support in the Ravine Battle due to briars and thorns.
We’re always looking for ways to make Fighter Support better. If you have suggestions or think you might want to run Fighter Support at Gulf Wars some day, talk to us!
DONATIONSDonations are welcome at the main Fighter Support station by the fort. We can always use:• Gatorade in powder form (no red!)• Snacks (grapes, pickles, Chex Mix, crackers, beef jerky, etc.)• Large trash bags• Disposable paper cups•
—heavy combat fiGhtinG conventionS—Gulf Wars draws fighters from kingdoms all over the Known World. A reasonable at-tempt will be made to meet visiting kingdoms’ requests. When in doubt, revert to Soci-ety conventions or pull out of combat.
AUTHORIZATIONSAuthorizations will not be performed at war.
INSPECTIONSInspections will take place at Marshal’s Point adjacent to Hastings Field. The main in-spection point is manned daily from 9 AM to 4 PM.• Each kingdom should supply marshals in proportion to the number of fighters pres-
ent at Gulf Wars.• All armor and weapons, including combat archery gear, must be inspected before
participation in any battle, tournament, or other fighting activity.• Only one inspection is required for the war.• You must have your site medallion, authorization card, and mundane photo ID to
participate in combat activities.• Heavy combat armor that meets Society minimum standards is required for all par-
ticipants.• Inspection stickers must be worn prominently on the helmet.• All principal Earl Marshals or their designated representatives must inspect and
jointly pass all siege/unusual/experimental weapons.MELEES
• Melees will be fought using Society standards. Melee fighters should be trained in their home kingdom before entering the battlefield. In addition, your opponent must be aware of your presence and must, through his actions, convey that aware-ness to you before you may hit him (unless you are part of a line engaged with an opposing line). This means one or more of the following:
• 180 Degrees: You are within your opponent’s front 180 degrees (in front of his shoulders/hips)
• Eye Contact: You have eye contact with your opponent• DefensiveRecognition: If you come up on a fighter’s flank and say, “I’m on the other
side!” and he adopts a defensive posture toward you, he has acknowledged you are a threat
• OffensiveAction: If you come up on a fighter’s flank and say, “I’m on the other side!” and he throws a shot at you without turning to see you, he has acknowledged you are a threat
• Verbal Acknowledgement: If you come up on a fighter’s flank and say, “I’m on the other side!” and he replies, “I can’t see you, we aren’t engaged!” — well, he is wrong. This is avoiding eye contact to deny engagement and is a vile, deceitful abuse of a rule put in place for safety. It has no place where men and women of honor choose to fight.

LINE ENGAGEMENTA line is defined as two or more fighters working in concert AND in close proximity (weapon’s range) as part of a wall or organized line of fighters. A line includes the entire formation: the front-line shield wall as well as glaives and pikes in the second and third ranks.
All participants in any part of a line are considered engaged with all participants in any part of the opposing line and may be struck by anyone in that line. If two shieldmen shoulder up and advance into a group of 20, they are at risk from everyone within weapon’s range.
To break an engagement, all you have to do is get out of weapon’s range. If you decide to break engagement and run back to your line, your opponent can chase you up one hill and back down the other side as long as he is still within weapon’s range. If you turn your back to him and are still in weapon’s range, he can hit you in the back. The second you get outside weapon’s range, he MUST reestablish engagement. Weapon’s range means the longest point at which either you or your opponent may be struck:• If one opponent has a spear and the other has a dagger, then the maximum reach
of the spear is weapon’s range.• If both opponents have a sword and shield, then the maximum reach of the longer
sword is weapon’s range.
When charging a shield wall, fighters you pass are free to hit you in the back as long as you are close enough to hit. You do not have to have a melee weapon to be at risk. Just because you drop your glaive or get your spear pulled from your hands does not mean they are not allowed to strike you. You are still fair game.
ARCHERS AND SIEGE ENGINEERSArchers are full contact participants. Out of courtesy, most fighters give archers a light shot instead of a beat down, but archers are playing the same contact sport as the rest of us. They ARE NOT called “dead” at close range. That being said, anyone may choose to yield and call themselves “dead.” You may not strike a combatant who has yielded.
Combatants may be hit by missile fire no matter their positional orientation to combat archers and siege engines. In other words, combatants are always engaged by missile and siege weapons; archers and siege engineers do not need eye contact with their op-ponents to shoot them, and shots in the back are considered good.
Since arrow shots are designed for someone in minimum Society armor, fighters wear-ing plate armor need to calibrate themselves for missile weapons. Fighters should be aware that an effective blow from an arrow or bolt will feel lighter the greater the dis-tance from the weapon discharging it (i.e., an arrow striking a fighter from 30 yards away will always have a substantially lighter impact than the same arrow striking from 10 feet away).
Arrows or bolts must strike point first and non-glancing on a valid target to be consid-ered good. There is no minimum impact requirement. If the fighter is aware of the shot striking him (even if he does not feel the blow, but only saw or heard the arrow impact on him), it must be accepted.
All fighters (including archers) are discouraged from calling arrow shots for others; it is presumed that all those on the field are honorable. Marshals involved in combat in which projectiles are used, including fort battles, must wear goggles or safety glasses.
THE FORTArchers and other missile weapons combatants in the towers may only be attacked with siege engines and missile weapons. Marshals must wear eye protections during the Fort Battle. Gorgets and groin protection are not required but are highly recommended. Some marshals, particularly outside the gate, will wear full armor. A band of yellow tape around the helmet with the word “MARSHAL” written on it will identify these marshals. They are not to be attacked.
HEAD/FACE BLOWSThe helm may be presumed by kingdom convention to include a very light chain mail drape, permitting vision and resisting cuts by the mere touch of a bladed weapon.
Remember, “the minimum effective thrusting blow to the face shall be a directed touch and the maximum shall be substantially lighter than to other parts of the body.”
Under this standard, an acceptable cutting blow to the face would be lighter than to other portions of the head or body. Areas deemed illegal to strike (the wrists from 1 inch [25.4mm] above the hands, from 1 inch [25.4mm] above the knees and below) shall be considered safe from all attack.

HEAVYTOWNBATTLE(NOARCHERY)MONDAY, MARCH 12, 12 NOON
(T,R,FS,F)
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: The town battle requires a great deal of maneuver, command, and control. Each grey square represents a building (6 total: 1 castle and 5 outbuildings). Resurrection points are indicated with circles. The lines represent rivers, and the grey rectangles outlined in black represent the bridges across the rivers. The rivers are 12 feet wide. There is enough space around the castle for two people to walk without fall-ing in the river.
CANCELLED
14
SCENARIO PLAY: The town defenders may start anywhere in the castle interior. The at-tackers will start to the east of their resurrection point. At the start of the scenario, both teams will attempt to establish control of the six buildings. Combatants who receive killing blows must return to a resurrection point placed behind the starting line before returning to combat.
At the center of each building is a flag that cannot move. If only combatants from one side have their hands on a flag, that flag is considered “uncontested” and controlled by the team. If combatants from both sides have their hands on a flag, it is considered “contested.” The scenario will run for 45 minutes, then after a 10-minute break, the two teams will switch sides and run for another 45 minutes. There will be a short hold every 15 minutes to determine the state of the flag in each building and give the combatants a quick water break. The flag in the center of the castle is worth two (2) points; all other flags are worth one (1) point.
FUNKY RULES: Members of the Chivalry may cross the river unencumbered. All oth-ers must cross at the bridges. Attempting to ford the river will result in death for non-member combatants, who must then return to a resurrection point. The defenders have complete control over the castle’s openings (side gate and main gate) and the open/closed status of the gate. The defenders must designate a gatekeeper for each gate, and only that person can specify to the marshal the open or closed status of the gate.

ARCHERS ONLY HEAVY RAVINE BATTLE TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 4PM
(T,R,L,J,C,FS)
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: The ravine has a long west-to-east axis (around 500 feet) and a very short north-to-south axis (around 100 feet). A gully runs along the long axis with slopes to higher ground on the north and south sides. There are several stands of trees (and often piles of debris) down in the gully that may be fought around. Archery must be aimed inward and not toward spectators.
SCENARIO PLAY: Initially, each side occupies one portion of the ravine, with the allied kingdoms occupying the south portion and Trimaris and Ansteorra occupying the north portion. Each side has two (2) resurrection flags in the corners of their respective por-tions (north and south). Three (3) ravine flags run along the east-west axis with a circle fifteen feet in diameter painted on the ground around each one. The middle flag is in the bottom of the ravine, while the remaining two flags are equidistant between the middle flag and the edge of the playing field. The battle is thirty minutes long. For each flag, there will be a marshal. No type of shield or pavise will be allowed inside the circles. When a flag is raised the marshal determines that a side has gained control of the flag.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: At ten minutes, twenty minutes and thirty minutes hold will be called and the side with the flag raised will be awarded one point for each flag raised. At the end of thirty minutes the points will be tallied. The side that has the most points will be awarded the War Point.
HEAVYRAVINEBATTLE(WITHARCHERY)THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 11 AM
(T,R,L,J,C,FS)PHYSICAL LAYOUT: The ravine has a long west-to-east axis (around 500 feet) and a very short north-to-south axis (around 100 feet). A gully runs along the long axis with slopes to higher ground on the north and south sides. There are several stands of trees (and often piles of debris) down in the gully that may be fought around. Archery must be aimed inward and not toward spectators.
SCENARIO PLAY: Initially, each side occupies one portion of the ravine, with Ansteorra occupying the south portion and Trimaris occupying the north portion. Each side has two (2) resurrection flags in the corners of their respective portions (north and south). Three (3) ravine flags run along the east-west axis. The middle flag is in the bottom of the ravine, while the remaining two flags are equidistant between the middle flag and the edge of the playing field. The battle is one hour long. For each flag, there is a marshal who has two stop watches: one for Ansteorra and one for Trimaris. When the marshal determines that a side has gained control of his flag, he will start that side’s stopwatch. If control is lost to the opponent, he will stop the first stopwatch and start the other side’s stopwatch.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: At the end of one hour, each marshal in charge of a flag will com-pare the times on his stopwatches. The side that held the flag longest, will be awarded 1 point for holding that flag. The side that scores 2 or more points wins the War Point.
HEAVYBRIDGEBATTLE(WITHARCHERY)FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 11 AM
(C,T,L,J,FS)PHYSICAL LAYOUT: Three parallel bridges are placed 18 feet apart. The center bridge is 27 feet wide, while the outside bridges are 18 feet wide. The bridges represent low wall bridges and are delineated by lines of hay bales. The center line of the three bridgesismarkedwithspraypaint.Additionallinesaremarkedoneithersideofthecenter line at a distance of nine feet. The area of each bridge between the nine foot lines is that bridge’s “glory zone.” A start line is marked 18 feet back from the ends of the bridges.
SCENARIO PLAY: This battle will be run five times. For each battle, both sides will start behind their respective start line. Thrown weapons and combat archery will be allowed in the first and third battles. Combatants can fight on the wall however they like, but if they put a weight bearing limb or weapon into the water area, they are dead. Each battle will be 15 minutes long. Time will stop for injury holds. At the end of 15 minutes, the side that controls the entire glory zone of each bridge will be declared the victor of that bridge. If the bridge is contested (defined as both sides having combatants within the glory zone), all combatants outside of the glory zone will be removed from play, and the combatants inside the glory zone will fight will until the last man standing. In case of contention, all bridges will resolve independently and may not assist any other bridge. There will be 10 minute break between battles.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Each bridge is worth 1 point, for a total 15 possible points. The first side to score 8 points wins the War Point.

FORTBATTLE(WITHARCHERY)FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1 PM
(T,R,J,C,S)
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: The winner of the bridge battle will attack first. There are four (4) main entries to the castle. The Main Gate is on the north face and has doors made from wood that can be closed to simulate the effect of a drawbridge being up. On the west face is Alexandria’s Breach, which has two openings approximately 3.5 feet wide sepa-rated by about 6 feet. On the east side is Black Widow’s Breach, which is similar in layout to Alexandria’s Breach, and the New Gate. The ground around the outside walls is built up so that the height from the ground to the top of the wall is around 5-6 feet, and the distance from the ground to the top of the crenellation is only around 4 feet.
SCENARIO PLAY: This scenario will be run twice so each side can play the role of the attacker and the defender. Attackers will be granted THREE (3) lives, which translates to TWO (2) resurrections. Defenders will have no resurrections. Resurrections may not be transferred from one combatant to another. At the start of each run, attackers will be arrayed outside the castle, with all attackers no closer to the walls than 50 feet away. All defenders must start inside the castle. At lay on, the attackers may commence with the siege. All gates and breaches will be considered closed at the start of the battle except as noted below.
Each battle will last a maximum of 40 minutes (holds NOT included). To simulate the ef-fects of siege, at five (5) minute intervals the castle will become weaker. The weaknesses will progress in this order:• Startofbattle:Ramps can be used, Black Widow’s Breach is open• 5 minutes after start: New Gate opens• 10 minutes after start: Alexandria’s Breach opens• 15 minutes after start: Main Gate opens
Attackers may force the gates open early by three (3) strikes from a large siege rock or by four (4) strikes from a battering ram.
Attackers may attempt to enter through any of the four entry ways (Main Gate, Alexan-dria’s Breach, Black Widow’s Breach, or New Gate) or through the crenellations via the use of ramps. Ramps are governed by the following rules:• It takes 4 people to carry a ramp and 2 people to spot the ramp once it’s in
place (Note: Spotters can be dead. Spotters are safe from being killed, but they cannot attack.)
• Once in place, ramps cannot be moved.• A ramp cannot be placed in the crenellation in a defensive fashion.• Combatants cannot be attacked while on a ramp.• Neither combatants nor archers can attack from a ramp.• No standing on the ramps.• Ramps may be destroyed by a single strike from a machine thrown large rock or by
two (2) large siege rocks carried and dropped by a boulder crew of two (2) fighters.
On the inside of the crenellations, there is a 3-foot-diameter semicircular landing zone. These zones will be marked. The zones are governed by the following rules:• Only one fighter may be inside the zone at a time.• The fighter inside the zone can’t be attached.
• A combatant cannot attack from inside the zone and must leave the zone to attack defenders.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Whichever side takes the castle the fastest will be awarded the point. If by some remote chance neither side takes the castle in 40 minutes the battle will be declared a tie, and the point will be split in half.
MOTHEROFALLBATTLES(WITHARCHERY)SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1 PM
(R,L,C,T,J,F)
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: The MOAB is a progressive, timed battle that utilizes Hastings Field and the Gulf Wars Fort. There are four (4) zones during this battle, each of which will be clearly marked:• The Field is an open field.• The Town contains two (2) redoubts. Only the original group of defenders that start-
ed in the redoubt may be inside the redoubt. The redoubt doors are always open and face the fort. Each redoubt has one large and one smaller portal. When the last defender inside a redoubt dies, the zone is cleared.
• The Bridge consists of one or two bridges ranging from 6-12 feet wide, depending on the number of fighters present. An additional, 4-foot wide ford may only be used by attacking members of the Chivalry.
• The Fort has two entries: Black Widow’s Breach (on the east side) is open at the start of battle, and the Main Gate (north side) opens two (2) minutes after the Bridge zone is cleared.
SCENARIO PLAY: This scenario will be run twice so each side can play the role of the attacker and the defender. Archery and thrown weapons are allowed; however, archers may not shoot from bridge to bridge, and archery may not be used at the ford. The de-fending team must divide its forces into four (4) equal groups and stage a group at each zone. The battle ends when the last defender in the Fort dies.
ATTACKER PROGRESSION: The attacking team’s resurrection flag starts in the middle of Hastings Field. Attackers have unlimited resurrection. Attackers may not move on to another zone until the prior one is cleared. A zone is “cleared” when the last defender of that zone dies. After both the Field and the Town are cleared, the attacker’s resur-rection flag moves from the starting position to the back wall of a Town building. After the Bridge is cleared, the attacker’s resurrection flag moves to the back of the Bridge.
DEFENDER PROGRESSION: When a defender dies, he must fall back behind the next zone’s line and may not fight again until the zone he vacated is cleared. When defenders die in the Field zone, they must fall back to the Town zone, where they may harass the enemy and defend the redoubts from the outside (once the Field is cleared); however, they may not enter the redoubts. When defenders die in the Town zone, they must fall back to the Bridge zone. When defenders die in the Fort zone, they are permanently dead and cannot resurrect.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Whichever side “clears” all four (4) zones the fastest wins the War Point.
—combat archery—Greetings to all combat archers participating at Gulf Wars! Please be sure to read the complete rules for Combat Archery and the complete HEAVY WEAPONS Rules. There is information related to Combat Archery in both sections. Also, review the SIEGE Section. Doing so will help minimize problems and misunderstandings before and during battles.
Combat archers are expected to know and understand all of the rules for combat ar-chery, heavy weapons, and siege weapons in order to compete on the field. Please re-view all sections to make sure you are familiar with any rules that may be particular Gulf Wars. All missile combatants must comply with the Gulf Wars rules:• We will follow Society standards regarding clear the bow minimum shooting dis-
tance.• Each kingdom shall supply marshals in proportion to the number of archers present
at Gulf Wars.• It is up to each archer to know the rules of their Kingdom and what is within the
16
scope of their Kingdom authorization. No authorizations will be performed at war. If it is discovered that an archer is using equipment not covered by their authorization, then that archer will be sent to Marshal’s Court.
• All participants (fighters, engineers, archers, scouts, etc.) must be armored to the Society minimum standard for full-contact armored combat excepting that archers may have two archer’s gauntlets as hand protection as per Society rules.
• All bows, crossbows, bolts and arrows shall meet Society standards for construction.• All armor and weapons must be inspected before participation in any of the battles,
tournaments, or any other fighting activities at Gulf Wars.• Inspection stickers must be worn prominently on the right side of the helmet.• There is no limit to how many arrows or bolts an archer may carry onto the field
(excepting as a specific scenario or battle rule might otherwise apply), but no one may leave the field once fighting has started to obtain more arrows. Spare or extra bolts and arrows must be located on the field.
• All missile ammunition must be labeled with the owner’s name and Kingdom in Eng-lish on the shaft.
• All missile weapons need to be labeled with the owner’s name in English
NOTE: If a group owns arrows or weapons they may use the group’s name and Kingdom. An email address is not an acceptable alternative to name and Kingdom. If you are bor-rowing arrows, you must indicate it at inspection point so they are properly recorded. Anyone caught firing unlabeled arrows or bolts will be sent to Marshal’s Court.• All combatants may be hit by missile fire no matter what their positional orientation
to combat archers and siege engines. In other words, combatants are always en-gaged by missile and siege weapons so archers and siege engineers do not need “eye contact” with their opponents to shoot them, shots in the back are considered good.
• Archery shots to illegal target areas, such as the hands or below the knees, the sides and back of helms are not considered good to any combatant.
• ONLY Silo-flex arrows and bolts may be gleaned from the battlefield and reused. All other ammunition, including Fellwalker bolts, must be inspected prior to reuse. Ammunition approved for reuse will be placed in rows on the field after the battle. Ammunition that failed inspection can be retrieved from Marshals’ Point.
• Arrow and bolt heads must be appropriate to the shaft and one of the following. Any other form of arrow or bolt head must be approved by Society AND the Gulf Wars Combat Archery Marshal:
◦ Light Shaft: UHMW, Baldar Blunt (legacy two piece style or the new CUBB – aka the Fathead)
◦ Heavy Shaft: Tennis ball, Omarad/rubber stopper, or Fellwalker Heavy UHMW.• Everyone on the field during battles involving missile weapons must wear eye pro-
tection, such as helms with legal openings, fencing masks, racket sport glasses/gog-gles, etc. Regular prescription or sunglasses with “Safety Lenses” are not acceptable substitutes for the above.
◦ Combatants dead or alive, must keep their helms on until completely off the field.
◦ Marshals or any other noncombatant allowed on the field during fighting must wear suitable eye protection.
• Pavises are permitted in scenarios with Combat Archery. They must be constructed and used according to Society standards. Pavises may be used in the archers’ only battle but must be free standing. They may not be held by a fighter.
• Archers may not shoot from stairs or ramps on the fort.CALIBRATION REMINDER
Since arrow shots are designed for someone in minimum Society Armor, fighters wear-ing plate armor need to calibrate themselves for missile weapons. Fighters should be aware that an effective blow from an arrow or bolt will feel lighter the greater the dis-tance from the weapon discharging it (i.e. an arrow striking a fighter from 30 yards away will always have a substantially lighter impact than the same arrow striking from 10 feet away). Arrows or bolts must strike point first and non-glancing on a valid target to be considered good. There is no minimum impact requirement. If the fighter is aware of the shot striking him (even if he does not feel the blow, but only saw or heard the arrow impact on him) it must be accepted. All fighters (including archers) are discouraged from calling arrow shots for others; it is presumed that all those on the field are honorable.

Crossbows using Silo-flex bolts may only have a 1000 inch-pound maximum rating with a 110 lb. maximum draw.
All hand bows over 30 lbs. or crossbows over 600 inch-pounds must be marked with a 4-inch wide band of RED tape. This tape must be on the upper limb of the bow or the right hand side of the prod of a crossbow. ONLY 100 PSI Silo-flex arrows or bolts may be fired from these bows/crossbows.
IMPORTANT: Anyone using fiberglass shafted ammunition, including Fellwalker bolts, in these bows or crossbows will be sent to Marshal’s Court and banned from all fighting activities for the rest of the event.
SHAFT:• All arrows & bolts must meet the Society minimums.• Silo-flex arrows and bolts may only be made from 100 PSI Silo-flex tubing.

• Omarad heads must include side-wraps in accordance with Society minimum stan-dards.
combat archery inSPectionSAll combat archery inspections will take place at Marshal’s Point adjacent to Hastings Field or at the satellite inspection point set up near the Ravine. Inspections will be open from 10am until 4pm on Mon. and from 8am until the end of the battles on Tues. through Sat. Please see the schedule for the daily location of inspections. There will be limited combat archery inspections done outside of Marshal’s Point and the satellite point at the Ravine. Please contact the Gulf Wars CA MiC or your Kingdom CA MiC for more details. There will be a reduction in staff 15 minutes before the beginning of each battle to ensure field marshals are prepped on scenarios and in place. This may lead to longer wait times and early inspection is encouraged.
To speed up inspections please read the following rules and recommendations prior to arriving at Marshal’s Point:• Archers must bring their site medallion, authorization card, and a form of mundane
picture identification to be inspected. This is required for both the armor and ar-chery inspections.
• Before going to inspection, please check for:• Damaged tape, shafts, heads, nocks, APD’s, labels, etc.• Special attention should be paid to hardening of Baldar blunts and loss of compress-
ibility of padding on homemade blunts. • Any legacy Baldar blunt that has separation of 25% or more or fins with loss of rigid-
ity shall fail inspection.• The “fingernail rule” for APDs shall be used: if a fingernail can penetrate a crack in
an APD, it shall fail inspection. • Ammo will be marked with spray paint after initial inspection (not after each battle).
Archers may choose the placement (head, shaft, APD) of the paint.
Bring your equipment to inspection point early. If you bring 100+ pieces of ammo to inspection point within 30 minutes of the battle, the marshals will inspect as much as
17
they can but we will not guarantee that all ammo will be inspected prior to the battle as we need to get as many people on the field as possible.
—SieGe enGineS—“Open range” time allows siege crews to practice in a safe area and enjoy some inter-kingdom camaraderie.
There will be Siege Target Competitions with prizes for direct and indirect firing ma-chines. The competitions are open to all siege authorized fighters, no armor needed to enter. All are welcome to attend and cheer your favorite machine on to victory.
Society Siege Rules will be used for inspections and for marshaling purposes during battles.
SIEGE ENGINE CRITERIAThere are two types of siege devices: the active siege weapon and the passive siege structure. For the purposes of this document, and to avoid confusion, siege engines shall be defined as those designed to deliver missiles larger than the already-established small arms ammunition. Siege structures will be defined as devices, such as towers or ramps, that are used to support personnel but are not fitted with active weaponry.
Siege engines can be further broken down into two categories. Type-A engines are de-signed to deliver large ammunition to a range between 40 and 80 yards. Type-A en-gines can use all approved ammunition classes. Type-B engines are designed to deliver ammunition larger than small arms ammunition to a range between 40 and 80 yards. Type-B engines may not use anything above small siege ammunition. For the purposes of administration, any device not designed to deliver these types of ammunition will not be considered a siege engine. All engines shall have a maximum range of 80 yards. This is especially important in direct fire weapons, where range in excess of this often results in safety concerns involving extreme minimum range impact.
GENERAL REGULATIONS• Engines and projectiles shall be inspected by a warranted Siege Marshal before be-
ing used at an event and after any modifications are made to the engine during the course of an event.
• Direct fire engines shall not be discharged against personnel within a range of 30 feet.• No engine will be discharged while any non-crew person is within 5 feet of the travel
path of moving parts or within 5 feet of the fully extended sling length. For example, a trebuchet will not be discharged while a fighter is standing within 5 feet of the path of the arm, front or back. Note that “sling length” is the OVERALL length of the sling while fully extended, not just while both ends are attached.
• Engines must be equipped with a safety device sufficient to prevent accidental firing if they are to be relocated while braced. Any engine without such device shall only be relocated while unbraced.
• Except for man-powered trebuchets, all siege engines will be fitted with an appropri-ate mechanical trigger mechanism that shall be used with every shot.
• Cannons are not allowed in SCA combat. Engines may not use compressed or ignited gases or liquids or combustible materials of any kind to power projectiles.
• All engines must be free standing and may not use an operator as part of their sup-port structure. Operators will not be included in measuring the footprint of an engine.
• All engines and ammunition will be labeled with the name of their owner, group, and kingdom for identification purposes.
• All engines must have a minimum crew. Should crew size fall below minimum, the engine will not be operational.
• Man-powered engines will be considered Type-B engines and must meet Type-B engine requirements.
SIEGE AMMUNITION STANDARDS• No siege engine ammunition may exceed 1 pound in weight.• Siege-class munitions must be marked as such with yellow tape. Ballista bolts must
have their shafts and striking surface covered completely with yellow tape, and rocks (both tennis ball clusters and 1-pound foam rocks) must have at least 50% of their surface covered with yellow tape. These munitions may not be fired from small arms or thrown by hand.

other siege engines, pavices, and siege towers, provided scenario rules permit this.
• Large siege ammunition is capable of damaging or destroying any type of structure, such as castle walls, towers, and redoubts, providing scenario rules permit this.
BATTERING RAMS• A ram is equivalent to a 300-pound log.• A ram should be composed of four to seven 3-inch (or greater) diameter closed
cell foam “pool noodles,” each at least 4 but no more than 8 feet in length. Color is not important.
• A ram must be warped at both ends and every 2 feet down its length with duct tape.• Rope handles should be placed at appropriate intervals for carrying and use. These

—raPier fiGhtinG conventionS—From the Rapier Marshal in Charge of the War:
Greetings�all!
Welcome� to� Gulf� Wars� XXVI!� It� is� my� hope� (and� plan)� to� make� this� another�fun� and� successful� war.� One� that� will� live� in� your� memories� and� stories� as� an�awesome� experience� with� friends� and� epic� deeds.� Listed� here� are� the� general�war�conventions,�as�well�as� specifics�on� the�scenarios�and�war�points.�But�first,�just� a� few� pointers� and� reminders� to� help� this� be� the� epic� year� remembered�for� fun,� and� not� one� remembered� for� injury� or� ruined� from� bad� behavior.
• Keep hydrated! The water bearers do a fantastic job of keeping us stocked with wa-ter, Gatorade and snacks! Appreciate their hard work by drinking plenty of fluids! (And actually saying thanks!)
• Call your blows! It’s not my place to lecture you on honor, but when it becomes a repeat issue, it becomes a marshalling problem. Let’s keep it clean, have fun, and let the marshals deal with other marshal-ly things.
• The marshals are there to facilitate your fun; they’re not there just to ruin your day. This is everyone’s vacation and fun, the marshals are volunteering their own time to make sure the game goes on and safely. Listen to the marshals. Thank a marshal, better yet, volunteer to marshal!
• Never hesitate to call “HOLD” if you see something unsafe or dangerous about to happen!
• Inspect your equipment early and often. For example: don’t be surprised if that new blunt doesn’t last all week. A good habit is to check your tips during every hold, and keep an eye out for your fellow fencers’ gear that they may not be able to see.
• Different kingdoms have different rules. This convention guide should help, but it doesn’t hurt to talk to your opponents before you fight to make sure you’re all on the same page.
• Finally: Don’t be a jerk. If your issue can’t be resolved with POLITE dialogue, involve a marshal. Either way, keeping a level head and reasonable composure will make the war better for everyone, including you.
GENERAL INFORMATIONEACH KINGDOM WILL SUPPLY 1 MARSHAL FOR EVERY 10 FIGHTERS
• All tourneys and scenarios will be run according to the rules of the hosting kingdom. • All activities are heavy rapier only except for Cut & Thrust activities. • The rules will be explained beforehand. • For purposes of inter-kingdom activities, you will have to meet your own kingdom’s
armor requirements, but the weapon standards of the hosting kingdom. • Stickers will be provided to the Kingdom’s marshals for inspections.• Gulf Wars draws fighters from kingdoms all over the Known World. A reasonable
attempt will be made to meet visiting kingdoms’ concerns and issues. This cannot happen unless our visitors let us know their concerns and help us to resolve them. Final determination will be made by the RMiC and host kingdoms.
GENERAL CONVENTIONS FOR RAPIERSCA Society rapier rules are the default regarding marshal issues. SCA rules will be the default for general rapier activities unless more specific rules are provided here. Tourna-ments will default to the rules of the hosting kingdom.
Any combatant using the body of the rules vs. the spirit of the rules will be grounds for marshallate action.
See Marshals Court and Chain of Appeal section for further information.
Blow calling – Fighters are required to call thrusts and those draw cuts of 6” or more.Fighters are not required to (but can, if agreed to beforehand) call any other cuts, i.e., push and tip cuts.
Body contact – Deliberate body-to-body contact is not allowed. In melee scenarios, de-liberate “corps et corps” attacks or suicide charges are grounds for being removed from the field.
Dead talk/Talking during holds – Dead fighters may only say they are dead. They may not give orders or information. During a “HOLD” fighters will not discuss anything but safety concerns with their teammates. Fighters can tell someone to check their armor, sword tip, etc.
Dead walk during holds – Dead may continue to walk back to resurrection point or off the field during “HOLDs” but should exercise caution where they step.
Edge of the world – Varies. See the description of the specific battle for more informa-tion.
Engagement – To be announced before each battle. For more information, see the en-gagement section.
Knee walking – Varies. See the description of the battles below.
Point Stalking – Fighters will not start to throw a shot until they have gained engage-ment and can legally hit their opponent.
Scoring – Varies. See the description of the battles
Shields, canes, and other rigid secondaries – See the section on secondaries.
Shoving – A fighter may press his shield or other weapons against an opponent’s weap-ons to deflect or control them but the fighter may not use them to purposely knock his/her opponent off balance.
Dead – Fighters in any battle may call themselves dead at anytime. In a resurrection battle a fighter may always walk back to resurrection point.
Valid Target – Fighters will not strike at the back of their opponents’ heads.
Non-standard Weapons – All non-standard weapons are subject to approval by the Gulf War Rapier Marshal-in-Charge.
RAPIER ENGAGEMENT CONVENTIONSThe rules of engagement will be discussed before each battle. They include:• No more than three fighters can be actively throwing shots at any one fighter at
any time.• Units and individual fighters can move into an engagement at a double time step as
long as they do not make physical contact with their opponents or strike them with excessive force.
• Point Stalking is not allowed – Fighters will not start to throw a shot until they have gained engagement and can legally hit their opponent.
• Fighters who strike with excessive force will be removed from the field.• Fighters will not strike the back of an opponent’s head.• Attackers approaching from behind may choose to foul blades from behind rather
than forcing an opponent to turn and face them. Care should be taken to bind the opponent’s blades, not his/her hands and arms.
• Death From Behind will not be used in Gulf Wars point battles, though a surrounded fighter may choose to yield rather than be struck.
Any engagement issue is subject to marshal review. See the Marshals Court and Chain of Appeal for more information.
180 DEGREE FRONT
The melee rules from the SCA Rapier Marshal’s Handbook will apply in all Gulf Wars melees.
HOLDS
In melees, fencers will take a knee, if possible, so that the marshals can more easily find where the issues are.
If it can be done safely, no hold should be called to remove fighters from the field.MARSHALLATE INTERVENTION
When marshals intervene for any reason, they will collect the names, membership num-bers, and kingdoms of the accused, the offended party, and witnesses. In cases of hard hits, the weapon style used must be noted.
The marshal will inform the alleged offender and offended party that they are required to attend Marshal’s Court after the battle. Witnesses should attend as well.
In deciding whether to summarily remove a fencer from the combat, the marshal should consider these guidelines:
1. Hard hit, but the recipient waves it off: Information collected, fighter cautioned, play continues.
2. Hard hit causing recipient to withdraw from fencing, even briefly: Information col-lected: fighter withdraws to sideline for remainder of fight.
3. “Excessively” hard hit or pattern of hard hits, regardless of recipient’s reaction: Information collected, fighter withdraws to sideline for remainder of fight.
In all cases, the parties involved must attend Marshal’s Court at the completion of the fight.
On completion of the melee, a Marshal’s Court will be held by the MiC of the melee. The marshal, the accused and the offended party, and any witnesses will attend. Additional penalties may be assessed by the Marshal’s Court. See the Marshals Court and Chain of Appeal section for more information.
As a general guideline: injuries, even accidents, that remove a fencer for play will re-move the offending party from play an equal amount of time. See the Marshals Court and Chain of Appeal for more information.
SECONDARY ITEMS
All secondary items are subject to marshal review from Ansteorra, Gleann Abhann, Meridies and Trimaris Inspections. All non-standard secondary items are subject to ap-proval by the Gulf War Rapier Marshal-in-Charge
Shields, canes and other rigid secondaries may be up to 453 sq. inches in area (the same area as a 24” round) but not more than 48” in any dimension. Some standard templates will be available at the inspection points for comparison.
19
INSPECTIONS
All armor and weapons must be inspected before participation in any of the battles, tournaments or any other fighting activities at Gulf Wars.
Inspection stickers must be worn prominently on their mask and/or helmet.
Once armor and weapons are inspected, you are good for the remainder of the war. If significant changes are made to existing armor, or new armor is used, that fencer must be re-inspected.
Weapons should be inspected daily by each fencer and an available marshal.
RAPIER POINTED MELEES, BATTLES OR TOURNAMENTS1. Pointed melees and tournaments will be heavy style blades.
2. All kingdoms will provide 1 marshal for every 9 fighters they field. Ansteorra and Trimaris will provide any additional marshals needed. Those kingdoms with fewer than 9 fighters on the field are asked to have someone available for the marshals to consult if needed to resolve issues involving a fighter from that kingdom.
3. Death From Behind (DFB), spears, and rubber-band Guns (RBGs) will not be used in war pointed melees. Two handed weapons must be used with two hands- no secondaries or shields. Should a fighter wielding a two-handed weapon lose use of one hand, they will no longer be permitted to use that weapon but may trade it for a single-handed weapon.
The rapier points will be fought for in FOUR (4) sections:
RAPIER OPEN FIELD MELEE:
• Sides for the field battle will be decided by the toss of a coin. Sides will switch after each melee.
• Any fencer who steps out of bounds with one foot will be considered dead; to cause an enemy to retreat out of bounds is considered a valid tactic. NFL rules- touching the line will remove that fencer from play.
• Knee walking will be allowed only for those wounded below the knee in the field battle.
• The open field melee will be fought best two out of three, last combatant standing.
• No DFB, RBGs, or spears will be allowed.
RAPIER CHAMPIONS LIST• Ansteorra and Trimaris (principal kingdoms) will each provide 15 fighters each as a
mix of MoD, White Scarves (or equivalent); non-Scarves; and allies in a 5:5:5 ratio. • Ansteorra and Trimaris will each provide five MoD or White Scarves (or equivalent)• Ansteorra and Trimaris will each provide five non White Scarves (or equivalent)
All Ally kingdoms will make ready a stable of one MoD or White Scarve (or equivalent) and one non White Scarve (or equivalent) that may be chosen during the tournament.
There will be 15 fights (Weapons to be agreed upon between the fighters) in three phases.• The first phase will be the five ally fighters who will be called by consultation with
the principal kingdom and that ally.• The second phase will be between the five non-scarves of the principal kingdoms• The third phase will be between the principal kingdom’s five MoD or White Scarves
(or equivalent)
Whichever Kingdom wins majority of these fights will secure the war point.
RAPIER RAVINE BATTLE• 60 minute Resurrection Battle with the object being to maintain control over flag
emplacements throughout the battle.• The field will be divided long ways, with one resurrection point in each corner of
the field- two per side, four total. Three flagpoles will be placed on the center line of the field.
• Three flagpoles will have actual flags on a rope representing the armies of Ansteorra and her allies, and Trimaris and her allies. While controlling a flag emplacement, an army must detail one fighter to keep their flag raised. Flags may not be tied, counter-weighted or otherwise secured in place and must be held by hand.
• Any fencer who steps out of bounds with one foot will be considered dead; to cause an enemy to retreat out of bounds is considered a valid tactic. NFL rules- touching the line will remove that fencer from play.
• At regular intervals throughout the battle (every five minutes), the raised flags will be documented by a tally sheet. A bell will be rung as each score is taken. As the score is recorded it will be written on a large chart visible from the field. Sides may send a runner to check that chart anytime they wish. The winner of the battle will be the side who held the most tallies.
• No DFB, RBGs, spears, or two-handed rapiers will be allowed.
RAPIER TOWN BATTLE• Each team will start at a designated point deep into the fort at the south point. A
macguffin will be placed in each of the three houses. There is a capture point in the opposite corners along the north wall , marked by a spray painted goal line. The op-posing team may not cross the goal line, nor steal macguffins that have been scored. Neither the sally ports nor the front door may used by the living; the dead are en-couraged to use them to return to resurrection point. All hay bales are considered full walls, and may not be fought over.
• Resurrections will be done on a time-released basis. Dead will go to their resurrec-tion point, and wait until the whistle blows before being allowed to resurrect and return to the field. Anyone arriving at res point after the whistle must wait until the next whistle. The whistle will be blown every two-to-three minutes.
• Macguffins must be carried by two people. If one or both of the people holding the macguffin is killed ( or loses both arms ), the macguffin must be dropped on the spot. It cannot be carried by one person, nor may it be thrown.
• Upon scoring a macguffin, the carriers shall return to the resurrection point ( un-filled circle ) before re-entering the field. They may not re-enter the field from the capture point.
• The scenario will reset when all three macguffins have been scored. Sides switch every reset. The scenario will be run as many times as possible within a 45 minute time frame, with the clock stopping for resets.
• One point will be awarded for each macguffin a team has scored. The team with the highest total number of points at the end of the time frame will be awarded the war point. In the event of a tie at the end of 45 minutes, resurrection will immediately close and the battle will continue until all macguffins are scored or the tie is broken.
• Knee walking is permitted if you have been hit below the knee. No DFBs, RBGs, or spear

Fighters must be presented to the list by their sponsoring Rose or have a written letter of introduction to check in between 8AM to 9AM on the morning of the tournament (Friday, March 16th). Fighting will start as close to 9AM as possible.
****New for this year**** In an effort to respect everyone’s time and stick to the allot-ted time, there is a deadline for signing up for the tournament. The deadline for signing up for the tournament while onsite at the war is 6PM on THURSDAY (March 15th, 2018). The onsite signup sheet will be available on the porch of TRH Ansteorra’s cabin. Fighters will NOT be able to sign up on the morning of the tournament.

—tarGet archery—BOW AND ARROW REQUIREMENTS
• All equipment will be checked by themarshals daily. This is for the safety of everyone on the range. Please be patient.
• Longbows, recurves, and crossbows that meet Society conventions for target ar-chery are allowed.
• Bows may be of any weight desired; however, bows of a destructive nature or that cause the marshal concern for safety will be disallowed.
• No sights are allowed on longbows or recurve bows.• Crossbows are allowed single fixed sights.
COMPETITIONSThe prize shoot will be held Monday through Thursday at 4 PM at the Archery Range. Each day, we will have fun and exciting shoots along with War Point and practice:

• TUESDAY: Sponsored by Trimaris• WEDNESDAY: Sponsored by Meridies• THURSDAY: Sponsored by Calontir• FRIDAY: Sponsored by Gleann Abhann
ARCHERY WAR POINT COMPETITIONOne six-arrow flight is allowed for each of two different shoots.
Scoring will be tallied as follows:• CLOUT: Inner circle is worth 3 pts., outer circle is worth 1 pt.• SLOT: 1 pt. for each arrow in the slot. Lines do not count, because if an arrow were
to have hit the slot of a castle it would have been deflected, lost energy, or broken.
You will be able to practice for these shoots prior to shooting for score if you choose. You will have to declare to the line marshal when you are ready to shoot for score.
For the War Point, all shooting will be done from the standing position for both bow and crossbow. Disabled archers will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
OFFICIAL TARGET ARCHERY COMPETITIONThe Royal Round and the standard IKAC are both widespre and familiar to all kingdoms. The Royal Round will remain the official Gulf Wars competition, which consists of:• Six arrows at 20 yards• Six arrows at 30 yards• Six arrows at 40 yards• A 30-second speed round at 20 yards
Official IKACs, consisting of two static rounds of six arrows each and two 30-second speed rounds at each of the same three distances, will be offered. However, they are not part of the War Point competition.
Targets for both of these activities are the 60-cm concentric circle targets used in Olym-pic competition.
SOCIETY SEASONAL ARCHERY CHALLENGEThis shoot changes four times per year and will be offered to those who want to shoot for score or just to try.
GRAND EXHIBITION TOURNAMENTSponsored by Baroness Juliana Strangewayes. To gain entry into the tournament, each kingdom selects two representatives. These representatives’ names should be turned into the marshal at Sherwood Range by Friday Morning before 10 AM.
There are going to be about 24 people shooting in the GET. As far as the type of shoots that will be done, that is a secret.
—thrown weaPonS—WAR POINT
The Thrown Weapons War Point will consist of three opportunities to throw and stick from three different distances. 1 point for each stick, most points will get the War Point! Come on out to support your kingdom!
RANGE SAGETYThe range Marshal’s word is LAW. While Live Weapons are fun to throw, they can be very dangerous! Therefore, for everyone’s safety, all of the marshal’s decisions are to be obeyed. Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the Live Weapons competi-tion. The marshal’s rulings about scoring, safety, and use of weapons are final.
All live weapons are dangerous and can injure or kill a person. During the Middle Ages, that was the whole point of learning to throw a weapon, but today WE DO NOT WANT ANY INJURIES FROM LIVE WEAPONS! Treat each weapon with the respect it deserves. The marshals are very serious about safety. Anyone, regardless of rank or title, will be disquali-fied from the Live Weapons competition and asked to leave the range for unsafe behavior.
Warranted marshals and marshals-in-training are always welcome on the range to help out.WEAPONS
The War Point competition will be knife, axe and 8-foot spear ONLY.• KNIFE: Any type of knife is allowed. The marshal may disqualify a knife if it is found
to be unsafe.• SPEAR: Spears must be at least 48” in length. The marshal may disqualify a spear if it
is judged to be unsafe or unreasonably destructive to the target.• AXE: Any style of small axe, tomahawk, or hatchet may be used in competition.
Double blade axes may be used, but only one of the blades will be allowed to score. The choice of which blade is up to the competitor and must be marked by the Mar-shal prior to competition throw for score to count. The Marshal may disqualify an axe if it is judged to be unsafe or unreasonably destructive to the target (e.g., no huge, two-handed axes with short handles).
All competitors are encouraged to provide their own weapons. There is no guarantee loaner weapons will be available. If they are, they will be used only with permission of
the marshal.
—equeStrian—PRE-REGISTRATION
If you and your horse are not pre-registered, you will not be allowed on site with your horse. NO EXCEPTIONS! All horses MUST BE pre-registered with the Equestrian Deputy by February 26. Please be aware of the mundane/agricultural equine laws of the states you will be traveling through and be sure you have the proper documents to satisfy them. To satisfy Mississippi’s equine laws, you must keep the original copy of your nega-tive Coggins’ Test near your horse. Neither King’s Arrow Ranch nor the SCA need a copy.
Camping and horse trailer parking is available exclusively for preregistered equestrians and their camping companions.
MOUNTED PATROL/RIDING THE SITEAs Gulf Wars is a multi-kingdom war, we will be following the SCA Corporate Equestrian Handbook. There are some specific rules for mounted patrol, riding the site, and other equestrian activities away from the Equestrian area. These are detailed in the Gulf Wars Equestrian Operating Procedures.
ACTIVITIESGulf Wars offers many opportunities to celebrate the equestrian arts for those who love to horse around. Please see the schedule posted at the barn for detailed times and locations.
Spectators are encouraged to visit equestrian activities. Please join one of the many classes being taught or show up a little early to help set up or take down equipment for a particular activity (volunteers are greatly appreciated!). Authorized equestrians are always welcome to help as ground crew and will earn much gratitude from the Eques-trian Marshal.

will be awarded to the winner’s kingdom). War points will be awarded for Jousting, Mounted Archery and How to Ride Before a Prince.
PROOF OF AUTHORIZATIONIf your kingdom of residence has an equestrian authorization program, be prepared to show your authorization card at equestrian check-in.
New equestrian authorizations are not conducted at Gulf Wars except under the fol-lowing conditions:• Your kingdom has an authorizing marshal in attendance who agrees to authorize you
(even though they are not obligated to do so); AND• You receive permission to use an arena for authorization when it is not scheduled
for other use.RULES OF THE BARN
Do not feed or touch any horse or its tack without express permission from the owner.• Minors must be under adult supervision at all times while in the Equestrian area.• A red tassel on a horse indicates that the horse may bite or kick. Do not approach
this horse.• Virtually all horses will kick and/or bite when startled, so give horses a wide berth
unless you have been told it is okay to approach the animal.• Horses startle easily. Do not run, jump, yell, or make sudden movements around
the barn.• The barn closes at sunset to everyone except horse owners.• No loud parties or drumming in the Equestrian area after 10:30 pm. Our war horses
need their sleep!

A&S CHAMPIONS BATTLEThursday, 8 AM – 4 PM at Bede Hall
Points of Contact:
Mistress Maol Mide ingen Medra, OL, OP (Trimaris),
Mistress Ameline de Bois, OL (Ansteorra)
Schedule:
8 AM Registration and set up begin
10 AM Judging begins; Performing Arts entries begin in the A&S tent outside Bede Hall.
1 PM Hall opens to populace. Champions are encouraged to stand with their entries for discussions. Performers may choose to perform again during the populace viewing time.
3 PM Winners announced, entry pickup (must pick up by 4 PM)
Rules:
IMPORTANT: Performing Arts entries are limited to 15 minutes each unless a specific exception has been arranged. There will be a maximum of 30 entries: 10 from Ansteorra, 10 from Trimaris, 3 from Gleann Abhann, and 3 from Meridies; the remaining entries (max of 2 per side) may come from other allied kingdoms (1 entry per kingdom). All Lau-rels are invited to take part in judging. At a minimum, each participating kingdom must provide a number of Laurel judges equal to their number of entries. (Non-wreathed judges must have the sponsorship of an on-site Laurel.)
Each kingdom may select their champions by whatever method they see fit; however, entries must not have been shown at a previous Gulf Wars Champions Battle. Individuals are limited to one entry. Group entries are considered a single entry and a member of a group entry may also have one individual entry in a different genre. Non-performing champions need not be present at the war. All entries will be presented anonymously (no names or kingdom affiliations, please).
Each entry will be evaluated by two judges. Every effort will be made to ensure the two judges come from different, unallied kingdoms.

From the culinary arts featuring our earthen ovens, to live music, to language classes, the range of Al-Mahala topics is as varied as a spice merchant’s inventory.

Percussionists are welcome as well, but we will limit these to two drummers per tune on Thursday night. A frame drum is highly recom-mended.
In contrast, the Tuesday night block party is a great chance to bring your high-energy drumming (all levels welcome!).
—artiSan’S row— (location code: ar)Located near downtown, at the intersection of Lacey’s Way and Knights Circle, Artisans Row is a collection of workshops where artisans demonstrate, share, and teach their particular skills in smaller, more intimate, and often informal, settings.

We are delighted to welcome the Parch-ment Project, a wandering blacksmith, and Haraldr’s viking boxes and ceramics this year, along with our woodworkers, metalsmiths, glassworks, fiber artists, herbalists, and dy-ers.

The range of Heraldry is vast, and we can help you learn all about it. Please check the classes booklet for some excellent classes on Heraldry and come by the Point where we will have refreshments and knowledge free for the taking!
—Journeyman ProGram—The Gulf Wars Journeyman Program is an opportunity for an artisan or crafter to im-merse him/herself in an area of study, to “belong” to the community, to help out behind the scenes, to study under someone new, and to explore a certain area deeper on his/her own.
WOULD YOU MAKE A GOOD JOURNEYMAN?• Have you looked over the class lists and discovered than most of the classes you
want to take are in a single area?• Do you wish a class would dig deeper, or that you could hang around, ask questions,
and use the tools for a bigger project?• Once you try something new at war, do you practically live in that area for the rest
of the war?• Do you secretly wish you could run an area, but are not certain what it involves?• Can you commit about 4 hours per day at war (especially if it means doing what you
want to do, anyway)?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, the Journeyman Program is perfect for you. We will try to pair you with your area of interest, studying under the area coordina-tor. You will help with class setup and clean-up and have the opportunity to audit them while working on your own Journeyman project. At the end of the week, you will show-case what you have learned and accomplished during the week.
There are two Journeyman Program meetings, both in Artisan’s Row:• Sunday, 2 PM: For early arrivals who want to start right away• Monday, 12 noon: Come learn about the program or sign up
Performing Arts, Scribe’s Point and various areas in Artisan’s Row are looking for Jour-neymen this year.
We invite everyone to visit Artisan’s Row on Saturday between 9 AM and 12 noon for the Journeyman Program exhibit. Come and ask this year’s Journeymen about their ex-perience. Maybe next war will be your year as a Journeyman!

youth activitieS
—youth combat—All youth fighters ages 6–17 are invited to join us on the battlefield at Gulf Wars. The program is open to all authorized youth combatants. Any SCA kingdom authorization will be accepted.
Youthcombatisnotababysittingservice!
Gulf Wars follows the current Society youth combat rules with the following exceptions:• Due to the nature of mixed Division melees, Division 1 is required to meet Division 2
armor standards at a minimum.• Combatants ages 16–17 may spar with full rattan with each other and sparring mar-
shals as long as they have adult legal armor.
Gulf War has three (3) youth combat divisions:• Division 1 (ages 6 to 9)• Division 2 (ages 10 to 13)• Division 3 (ages 14 to 17)
AUTHORIZATIONSFighter authorizations for youth combat and adult marshal authorizations for youth combat will be held all week long on the Youth Combat Field.
INSPECTIONSAll armor and weapons must be inspected before participating in any youth combat bat-tle, tournament, or other fighting activity at Gulf Wars. Fighters must bring their site me-dallion, authorization card, and parent/legal guardian/responsible adult to inspectino.
Only one inspection is required for the war. However, weapons and armor will be checked before each activity. Equipment not meeting minimum standards will not be allowed on the field.
Any combatant using force sufficient to bruise or injure an opponent will, after ONE warning, be removed from the field.
PARENTS
Parents/legal guardians must understand that this is a contact sport and injuries may occur. Parents/legal guardians are responsible for the youth’s safety, and the Youth Com-bat Marshal is in charge of the armoring/safety process.
“Legal guardian” for the purposes of youth combat means a court appointed legal guardian or other permanent guardian other than a parent. The normal SCA event defi-nition of legal guardian (e.g., a person granted responsibility for a friend’s child over the weekend) is not sufficient for youth combat purposes.
At least one parent/legal guardian/responsible adult must be present at all times while the participant is involved in youth combat (including official fighter practice, tourna-ments, and melees). “Present” is defined as within visual and vocal range of the child and attentive to the youth combat activity.
