The following rules represent the standard ruleset for Tournaments being held by Royal Arts fencing academy. This includes: Ascalon, Blue Box, Looking Sharpe, and Hemmageddon
In the event of an injury or obvious probable injury the Director will halt the bout. An injured fencer will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to deal with the situation and decide whether they are able to continue.
Hits that result in incidental “shake it off” types of injuries will not halt the clock.
Declaring a false injury, cramp, or other complaints can be penalized starting with a yellow card.
