==Face covering requirement for NZ marshals==
==New rules - 4 October 2025==
To the best of our understanding (I haven't heard back from Ministry of Health about referees for martial arts), we believe that marshals in NZ trigger the requirement for wearing face coverings while inspecting combatants and marshalling combat due to close contact or the potential for it while assisting a combatant.  This applies during red and orange traffic light settings of the COVID Protection Framework. This may not be practicable for marshalling war combat, or for combatants taking turns marshalling bouts while still fully armoured - so treat it as requiring the face covering if not wearing your helmet.  It's a compliance issue rather than an actual mitigation from spreading COVID - taking part in combat is a far greater risk of spread!
With the announcement by the Crown at Spring War on 4 October 2025, version 7 of the Lochac Fencing Combat Handbook comes into effect.

Update - 3 November 2025

Greetings,

After we published the approved version of the updated fencing rules, we spotted that we had inadvertently reduced the required limb protection for cut and thrust combat when we updated the rules to account for the new reduced armour requirements from standard fencing. This was not intended. We have corrected this error to bring us back into compliance with Society rules.

See Protective equipment 8.6 - Legs, feet and arms.

New rules - 4 October 2025

With the announcement by the Crown at Spring War on 4 October 2025, version 7 of the Lochac Fencing Combat Handbook comes into effect.
