NO. It is for people that can. Period. I disagree, it's for people who Will. As has been pointed out we have folks from 18 to 80 blind, crippled, crazy. The thing about them is they Will do it. They get out there, fight and enjoy what it is we do. Those who won't for whatever reason will not try.

homerj109 As for the fighting -even though your not on the field, you can still learn by watching. I probably learn more from watching how the others fight, then I do by actually fighting.

Clamshells.

Egg, Icefalcon (same gaunts), Draven at midrealm leather, Torvaldr, Bokalo, Quinn.. I know I'm missing some but these come off the top of my head. All of them would be under 200 some under 100 even.

On the arms and legs, too much fluting and the poleyns are too bulbous. Go to Stonekeep m and buy some of their spring steel knees and elbows, with a rondel or the soupcan style, then make your own vambraces, rerebraces, cuisses and shynbalds out of leather.

Throughout the years, I've seen an odd mix of armor at the 30, from plastic gauntlets to plate and chain. Is plastic forbidden at the CoT, or just discouraged? Is the line drawn on appearance or the actual materials used to make one's armor? Maille and plate would be appropriate as this was part of...

Kettle helm would be quite period for this event. As has been noted in other threads. The kettle went from 13th century right up til the 15th. SO yeah a kettle would be appropriate.

I wouldn't say "yank him off the field". After all, he isn't breaking any actual rules. But I do wish he had put on a surcoat or something. I'm hoping that the plastic was free and was the only material he had to work with, and that he has a half finished suit made from leather and steel ...
