Core

This refers to the structural base of the weapon to which padding is affixed.

  • Rigid Cores
    Melee Weapons require a rigid core to provide structural stability. Short weapon segments and small protrusions from a central core that are stable on their own do not require a rigid core within them. These segments and protrusions must not deform or fold over excessively during combat and must always return to their original position.
    • The best materials to use are carbon/graphite rods (such as from non-metallic golf clubs), kite spar, bamboo, PVC tubing, or fiberglass. Other materials will be assessed for safety on a case-by-case basis.
    • Metal and wooden cores are prohibited. Metal may be used to counter-weight weapons provided it is permanently attached and not in a place that may inadvertently strike another player.
    • The ends of any rigid cores should have a flat face and be securely capped with a layer of foam and tape at minimum to prevent the core from pushing through.
    • Hollow cores should be sealed at the ends.
    • Sharp edges should be blunted so as to not dig into the padding.

  • Non-Rigid Cores
    Contact Projectiles require a non-rigid, non-granunlar core.
    • The best materials to use are foam (any), denim, sweatshirt material, loose rubber bands, etc.
    • Unacceptable cores include: Solid rubber, tightly-wrapped rubber bands, tennis balls, beanbags, seed packets, etc.
