Ah... really quick:
1. All weapons are stab legal
2. Sufficient force is less important than 'clean'. If a shot is clean and hits with decent force, take it. Err on the side of caution and the attacker will tell you not to take it.
3. No kicking, bashing, edging, grappling, or checking. A certain amount of 'rubbing' is expected, just don't get too blatant with it.
4. No armor or projectiles. Shields are indestructible in the ditch. Battlegames are a different story, but we won't be doing any of those.
5. Amtgardians talk a lot of smack. It's good natured, so don't take it personally.
6. If you have any questions, ask one of the guys wearing a white belt with silver trim. They are instructors.
7. It is perfectly acceptable to stab people in the eye as long as it is proceeded by the phrase "Don't take this!"
