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.

Weapons deemed illegal and unfeasible to be made legal as determined

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.
