1.3.3 Two and one-half inch rule—No surface on a striking edge (sword tip, arrow head, spear head, javelin head, etc.) whether designed for stabbing or not, may pass more than 0.5 inch through a 2.5 inch hole; swords with a semicircular tip, with a minimum 1.5 inch radius are exempt from this rule. See Appendix A, 1.4.4
1.3.6 All striking surfaces must have a cloth covering.
1.3.7 The amount of tape on a striking surface should be kept to a minimum.
