24 ounces, at least 6 inches striking surface, 2/3rds weapon padded, over 4 feet long.

that six inches is in length along the pole, around would be it must not fit through a 3" by 1.75" hole. Side note: it must pass a safe hit test, so be sure it's not going to hurt anybody, and it still has to have 2/3 of the weapon covered in courtesy padding. Also I would suggest a double layer of marine foam for a stabbing tip
Side bar, is any one else thinking the new rules make min glaives retarded?

Yes. Also, it only has to be 2.75 inches diameter now. stupid rules, stupid stupid stupid. 6 inch striking surface, really? I know when it was brought up and voted on, the only concern was for minimum blue weapons, but they worded it to apply to everything.

Hopefully they'll change it when someone gets a broken rib because the wielder misjudged distance.

I agree with dekland... Mittelmarch has a long history of making minor changes to the RWC rules, and if the Council believes that rule should be altered for safety's sake, I think you should.
