For blues, 12 round fiberglass should do.
Greens depends on length. Bandshop poles would probably be best for spears. If it's just a stabby sword, 1/2in fiberglass should do.
Reds also depend on length. Glaives go with bandshop poles. Min reds: I hear 1/2 square fiberglass works but is hard to find. In between you'll have to ask someone else.
Shield cores depend on preference. For bulk, I'd suggest plywood. It's fairly cheap, durable, and you can get a lot of shields from a 4x8 sheet.

I can give you more info on that if your university has the same beef about people hitting each other.

Here are a few questions I have to spur the suggestions:
- What materials should I purchase for shield cores?
- What sort of core should I purchase for basic weapons (red, blue and green)?

Mint wrote:Our realm is also an official school club as well. In fact, right now we're in the middle of revamping our constitution and bylaws to include a policy regarding use of anything other than basic clue weapons (i.e. flails, reds, & poles). If you have loaner gear that's anything other than basic blue n' board, I strongly suggest coming up with some sort of training/certification. Newfolk have a tendency to reach for the biggest freakin' weapon they see, and if they're reckless with it, could potentially bash someone's head in. You may want to be sure they know how to use it safely if you have that kinda stuff available.
PM Summit (our realm leader & club president) if you want more info about funding/club bylaws.
There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.
