General Guidelines

Any weapon will fail if:

If is has any sharp or rough edges (including glass gems, bones, skulls and other such decoration)
If it is either flexible or too rigid
If any part of the weapon is made of inappropriate material
If the density of the foam used to construct the weapon is either too low to provide adequate padding or too high
If the foam on any part of the weapon has become compacted (including repairs made with tape)
If the foam on an area has split or is coming away from the core or if the core is visible or poking through the tip, pommel or side of the weapon.

Weapons not considered compatible with the usability standards or aesthetics of the event (for example, rapiers, firearms, inflatables and toy rubber or plastic knives) will not pass weapons check as they are not classified as LRP weapons.
