Item 4: Add to the EH Rules Clarifications sheet:
When the Champion declares a weapon illegal during the course of a
weapons check, they may apply a sticker or piece or masking tape with
the word "illegal" clearly printed on it to the weapon. The sticker
is an aid to clearly identify weapons previously declared illegal, so
as to prevent the accidental (or intentional) further use of said
weapons. The sticker is not to be removed unless the weapon is
rebuilt. Note that absence of a sticker does not make a weapon legal,
the actual determination of weapon legality is the Champion's call on
a weapon. Also note that as per corpora ALL weapons and equipment
should be checked for safety and legality, there is no assumption of
legality.
Item 5: Add to the EH rules Clarification Sheet:
Weapons deemed illegal and unfeasible to be made legal as determined
by the Champion, may not be brought to Tanglewood Forest, nor may

auspices of The Emerald Hills, or any of its subgroups. If a weapon
previously deemed illegal and unfeasible to be made legal as
determined by the Champion is discovered or is newly declared illegal
and unfeasible to be made legal as determined by the Champion, the
owner will be asked to remove it from the vicinity of an Amtgard
Function. A weapon previously deemed illegal that can feasibly be
made legal as determined by the Champion may be brought out to an
Amtgard function for the express purpose of rebuilding said weapon.
