SENA A.5.F. Armory Conflict: Standards for Difference through a Single Substantial Change of Field for Fielded Armory:
A new submission does not conflict with a piece of protected armory if the two fields have a substantially different partition as defined below...
Total Addition or Removal of Division:
Any divided field has a substantially changed partition from any plain field. The multiply divided furs are considered plain fields for this purpose.
Substantial Change of Direction of Division:
A change in direction of the lines of partition creates a substantial change of partition... Any field division which differs only by the number of partitions in a single direction is not substantially different. The pairs per bend and bendy, per bend sinister and bendy sinister, per chevron and chevronelly... are not substantially different from the other half of their pair...
Per pall, and per pall inverted are clear of all other divisions.
Quarterly and per saltire are substantially different from all two-part divisions and three-part divisions. They are also substantially different from all other four-part divisions (such as per pale and per chevron or per bend and per fess). The other four-part divisions are only substantially different from one another if they share no lines of division in common. All four-part divisions are substantially different from divisions that split the field evenly into more than four partitions.
Checky is substantially different from all other fields. While checky is substantially different from all other grid-like partitions (i.e., those formed by two sets of parallel lines, such as lozengy and barry-bendy); these other grid-like partitions are not substantially different from one another. This is because they all create a general impression of lozenges...
Gyronny (of any number of pieces) and party of six are substantially different form all other partions...
Lines of division not mentioned here explicitly may be determined to be substantially different on a case by case basis.
As a reference, these categories are all substantially different from each other:
- per pale, paly
- per fess, barry
- per bend, bendy
- per bend sinister, bendy sinister
- per chevron, chevronelly
- per chevron inverted, chevronelly inverted
- gyronny (any number of pieces)
- per pall
- per pall inverted
- per saltire
- quarterly
- other divisions into four equal parts (may have substantial difference between themselves, if they share no lines in common, such as per pale and per chevron compared to per fess and per bend sinister)
- party of six
- checky
- lozengy and all other grid-like partitions (such as barry bendy and per pale and chevronelly

Conflict:
March 2021 CL - substantial difference for field changes not just for field-primary:
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 A.5.F for the revised wording, also summarized above]
https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2021/03/21-03cl.html
March 2021 CL - multiple DCs for field changes not just for field-primary:
From Wreath: Change to SENA A5G1
The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5G1 to allow all fielded armory to receive multiple DCs for changes to the field which previously only applied to field-primary armory. Those changes are accepted. [See A.5.G for the revised wording.]
