May 2015 - No More Billets with Complex Lines
Due to lack of documentation and identifiability issues, billets with complex lines will not be registered after the November 2015 decision meeting without evidence of period practice. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2015/05/15-05cl.html
October 2010 - die vs. delf:
#74Marietta da Firenze. Badge. Per pale azure and gules, a die Or. This badge is clear of the device of Tibor of Rock Valley, Vert, a delf Or. Dice and delfs are period charges; we have no evidence that they were considered interchangeable in period. Under our current standards, there is a CD between the two. Therefore, there is a CD for the changes to the field and a CD for the change of type of primary charge. Dice in Society are usually depicted in trian aspect, but they may also be depicted as delfs with spots, as in the armory of Wurfel, from Pinches & Wood's European Armorial, p.38, among others, and are, therefore, registerable when depicted in this manner. Armory containing dice and delfs must be considered visually for conflict under section X.5 of the Rules for Submissions. [[12]]
