Cross Guard??

Postby Blitz. » Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:15 pm

Could anyone give me the Rules for these? Do they have to be bigger than 2 or 3 inches at the end? like the pommels and the 2 inch rules?

EDIT: I normally make the cross-guard so it doesn't enter the Eye Socket, is this a generally good practice?

There are no official rules for cross guards. The only rule that governs cross guards is:

1.3.2. All non-striking surfaces must be padded adequately to prevent personal injury from incidental contact.

Weapon checkers may try to apply the 2 inch rule to them, but that only applies to pommels.
