Equipment Inspections
Each piece of equipment must pass an inspection before its use each day to ensure safety, durability, recognizability, and any other type-specific construction standards are met.
Guidance for inspecting equipment and equipment-use can be found in the Equipment Inspection Guide. The following information is the essential knowledge that all players should have:
- Equipment can be inspected by any Rules Authority with Equipment Inspection Knowledge. Since equipment inspection is mandatory, this task is often a listed responsibility of one or more Officer positions, traditionally the Champion and/or Guildmaster of Reeves.
- It is highly encouraged for inspectors to follow the Equipment Inspection Guide.
- All weapon inspections must include some form of volunteer-assisted Hit Testing. See the Equipment Inspection Guide for our recommended method.
- Equipment that does not pass inspection cannot be used in combat. Using uninspected or unapproved equipment on the battlefield is grounds for immediate suspension from play.
- Equipment may be reinspected throughout the day as necessary.
- New or inexperienced players wishing to use a weapon type they have never used before must also demonstrate Weapon Competency to ensure safe use on the battlefield. Players who demonstrate unsafe weapon use during this demonstration or at any point thereafter may have those weapon privileges revoked by a Rules Authority.
Passing an equipment inspection does not guarantee that a piece of equipment is 100% safe. Players should always remain vigilant for potential hazards and equipment being used in an unsafe manner.
