As Pennsic War has multiple opportunities for court, this reporter could not be everywhere and attend all courts. My thanks go to Selene White Hawk for filling in gaps I knew about. I apologize in advance for any missing awards and/or misspelled names, and will gratefully accept corrections to this report. Please contact me at dorcaswhitecap@gmail.com

Good Morning Calontir,
We have updated CALON to reflect recent changes to the structure of armored combat authorizations. Fighters who were previously authorized in two-handed sword or polearm should have those authorizations replaced by an authorization in two-handed weapon. Two-weapon authorizations have been removed.
Authorized fighters should login and print a new authorization card – especially if you are attending Pennsic.
We are excited to introduce digital membership cards as a benefit of your SCA Inc. membership! Following a soft launch in June 2023, members now have the opportunity to access your membership cards electronically.
Digital membership cards provide a more efficient and convenient way to carry your membership information with you to events. They can be installed directly into your Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or Wallet Passes app, and once downloaded to your smartphone, don’t require internet to access. Your digital card will even update automatically when you renew or change your Society name.
There is no need to download a separate app to access your digital card; it will be installed on your existing Apple or Android wallet app.
A full list of FAQs is available here should you choose the option of a Digital Membership Card.
