[Artemisia] waivers?

[rayzentz at aim.com]

Greetings, your Grace and others,

Just curiosity on my part. Why the marking on the field? I can see the reasons for on the card, but why, while fighting, should someone be marked a minor. Are the "adult" fighters not supposed to hit as hard? Are they supposed to take it easy on the minors? Is there any difference in what is expected of the monors by other fighters and marshals?

Just wondering...

Padruig

Arwen,
 
I can't speak to the membership waiver signing directly, but concerning fighter 
cards...
 
Just this week, on the Society Earl Marshals (SEM) e-list, the SEM has said that 
all under 18 fighters need to have their fighter authorization card marked with 
"minor".  I would prefer that marking be in red, but what's important is that 
the card is clearly marked "minor".
 
Along with this, in melee, and tournament, where minors can fight with adults, 
the minor fighter has to have some marking on them to denote that they are a 
minor.  A suggesting on the SEM list was a "Y" sticker or tape on the helm/mask.
 
If you have questions, please contact me off list so that we don't pollute this 
list with too many e-mails.> Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:29:18 -0800> From:

with signed blue cards and fighter authorization cards still need to sign 
waivers at the gate? I am a bit fuzzy on this. Thanks, Esther
