Ulric is correct.  The Artemisian Marshal's handbook states quite plainly:
III : Armored Combat
 F: Weapons Standards for Armored Combat
  4. Rattan Spears
    d. Total spear length shall not exceed 10 feet (3.0 m).
  5. Fiberglass spears
    f. Total spear length shall not exceed 10 feet (3.0 m).

BTW, you can grab a copy of most of the Kingdom's "rulebooks" on this page:

YIS,

Lord John Gilson, HUH?
Locksmith, Baroness's Musketeer,
Provost & GU Black Wing Company,
Rapier Marshal, Barony of One Thousand Eyes, Artemisia

:-Greetings to the list,

:-My apologies to Ulric for the dessenting opinion, but the last
:-official word was only 9 ft spears in Artemisia.

:-And I agree, a tall spear in camp to show off a banner and mark
