From Wreath: Change to SENA A5F
 
The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5F to allow a substantial difference for changes to the field for all fielded armory, not just field-primary armory. Those suggestions, with some modifications are accepted. [See [http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A5F A.5.F] for the revised wording, summarized below]

==SENA A.5.F.2. Armory Conflict: Substantial Change of Tincture for Field-Primary Armory:==
''as of 16 May 2022''
If the field of a new field-primary submission has no tinctures in common with the field of a protected piece of armory, they do not conflict. If a new submission with a field divided into two sections, three sections, quarterly, or per saltire has changed the tincture of each section of that field and each has at least one tincture on the field that the other does not, the two are substantially different and do not conflict.
Furs are considered to be different from one another and from their base tincture. The addition of a field treatment is also a change of tincture.

==SENA A.5.G.1. Armory Conflict: Standards for Difference through Two Distinct Changes: Changes to the Field==
''extracted excerpts as of 16 May 2022''
Distinctly changing the tinctures, direction of partition lines, style of partition lines, OR number of pieces in a partition of the field is one distinct change (DC).
a. '''Change of Tincture:''' If the tincture of at least half the field is changed, the fields will be considered different enough to be a distinct change (DC). There is a distinct change for swapping or rotating the tinctures of a field evenly divided into two, three, or four parts. There is not a distinct change for swapping the tinctures of a field divided into more than four parts. Furs and fields with field treatments are considered different tinctures from their underlying tincture and from other variants which share an underlying tincture.
b. '''Change of Direction of Partition Lines:''' A change of direction of partition lines creates a distinct change (DC). The major single partition lines include: per bend, per bend sinister, per pale, per fess, per chevron, and per chevron inverted; a change from one to another (whether as single lines or multiple forms) is a distinct change. In addition, a change from any of these to per saltire, quarterly, gyronny (of any number of pieces), per pall, and per pall inverted, checky, and lozengy or a change between any of these is considered a distinct change. A change in direction of half the lines of a design gives a distinct change. In general, the addition, removal, or change of a partition line or group of partition lines that changes the organization of tinctures in ways that affect at least half the field will be considered a distinct change.
c. '''Change of Style of Partition Lines:''' All partition lines have a style, either plain (straight) or complex. A change of style of half the partition lines is a distinct change (DC). The types of complex lines which are distinctly different are discussed in [http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#AppendixM Appendix M].
d. '''Change of Number of Pieces:''' Changing the number of pieces into which the field is divided is a distinct change (DC). When considering the field as a whole, a field with one, two, three, or four pieces has a distinct change from armory with any other number, but above that there is no distinct change. When considering changes to only half of an already divided field, a half with one, two, or three pieces can have a distinct change from armory with a half of any other number of pieces, but any number beyond that is considered the same.
The one exception is party of six, which is divided in a different pattern (effectively per fess and paly of three) and was seen as a distinct field division in period. Therefore, it has one DC from checky and designs that create large numbers of lozenges (such as paly bendy). However, it does not have a DC from designs such as Paly and per fess which create the same overall impression.
e. '''Fieldless Armory:''' A piece of fieldless armory automatically has one distinct change (DC) from any other armory, fielded or fieldless.
Tinctureless armory, as described in A.3.A.2, is treated as fieldless armory for this purpose. However, no DC may be given for tincture of charges when comparing a tinctureless badge to any other design, including changes of tincture due to addition of lines of division.
