Your ludicrously huge handguard could be seen as an attempt to gain an unfair advantage since it functions as an unbreakable shield. Reasonably sized crossguards and handguards are allowed, but that's because there's plenty of precedent in Belegarth and historically. They also look cool.

Found this while running through the wiki. The ruleset might need to be updated. The 12 inch rule is in this faq too.

It might be small now, but with some core, dedicated fighters, that number will grow. If you are serious about fighting, get out there every week, support a realm, and swing foam as much as you can. This sport lives and dies by how much we put into it ourselves; we can't just rely on other people to put in the work while we reap the benefits.
Yes, your weapon was failed at the event, but you seem to be excited about the sport and creative, and those are two traits any realm can use. Take that enthusiasm and energy and apply it and you'll get way more out of this sport.

California is a great place to be for networking and we love it when people get involved. Winter has excellent advice here and getting more people in that area (making some ties to Hemet, CA and Anaheim, CA) will really start making a Belegarth-style Pony Express in that inland area. You can be one of the people to start helping that region.
