Inspection
Plan on getting inspected early to help ease the workloads of our
marshals. Or, please consider volunteering to help out with inspections!
Inspection Point will be open from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, Wednesday, Aug 1 through Friday, Aug 10 (ending 15 minutes before Friday's final battle).
The tent will close 15 minutes before each mass battle, 30 minutes before the woods battle, to allow time for everyone to get to the battlefield on time.
It will remain open during the Champions' Battles at the discretions of the Earls Marshal of the East and the Middle,
provided there are sufficient volunteers.
