This is an open book test covering marshalling for tournament and war for all types of combat. The prospective marshal must score at least 90% on all combat qualification tests and score at least 90% on the Marshal Authorization test (Appendix E). This is an open book test covering marshalling for tournament and war for all types of combat. The authorizing marshal will correct the test immediately. If the score is less than 90%, the prospective marshal must retake the entire test. This may be done that day or on another occasion at the test givers discretion. There is no limit on the number of times an applicant may take the tests. Once the test has been scored at 90% or better, any missed questions will be reviewed and corrected by the applicant prior to being mailed to the Imperial Crown Marshal for filing. The Imperial Crown Marshal will maintain a list of the authorized marshals. Prospective marshals need not retake any combat qualification test in which they scored at least 90% when qualifying as a combatant. 3. Collegium Attendance Local Ministers of Joust & War and/or Crown Marshals are required to hold a collegium on Marshal training: · Once per year, or once per reign, whichever is sooner · When a significant change in the Combat or Marshals Manual has been made Marshals shall review the rules of the list, armor and weapon standards, and aspects of this manual. Content and format of the collegium is at the discretion of the Ministers. 4. New Subdivisions New subdivisions that do not have any authorized marshals may select up to two persons as marshal candidates.
