Didn't know you aren't allowed to bash legged opponents in Dag nor wear back shields.
Also, "can't call garb" -
Honestly everyone who plays dag out here does these things, so I wonder what that's about? Bel influence? Old timers didn't change their ways?
4.7.2 - A shield maybe used or worn in any manner, and it will still remain a shield; e.g., a shield may be carried on the arm, held in one or two hands, worn on the back, or propped against a fighter's side.

"Back only shields prohibited - MoA 4.6.7 "
4.7.6 - Shields may be virtually any shape, but must have handles and/or arm-straps. If a shield is made to strap onto the body and has no means to carry it on the fighter's arm, it is not allowed. As with all weapons rules, Weapons-Checkers and Heralds have the final size in determining what is a shield versus what is armor.

That sounds like it is an interpretation of this rule:4.7.6 - Shields may be virtually any shape, but must have handles and/or arm-straps. If a shield is made to strap onto the body and has no means to carry it on the fighter's arm, it is not allowed. As with all weapons rules, Weapons-Checkers and Heralds have the final size in determining what is a shield versus what is armor.
A shield like the one I use when arching is acceptable because it can be used on the arm but also has a strap that allows it to be worn on the back. A shield purposely built only to be worn and used on the back would be illegal.

BAM!
A shot striking baggy garb, a worn weapon, etc. is a valid strike. Fighters may not call garb.
4.10.2 - Strikes ignore sheathed weapons (i.e., one that is attached/hanging from one's belt or over one's back) or any other worn object, including baggy clothing such as cloaks. If an attack would have made legal contact with a fighter had the object been absent, then it should be counted as a hit. A weapon must be in a fighter's hand to intercept an attack.
