General Thrown Weapons Rules

For a weapon to score, it must be sticking in the target. If it falls out of the target before it is scored, it shall count as a miss. The thrower may practice before beginning each round, but must declare when they are beginning. After a round has begun, it must be completed before a new round can begin. All scores must be witnessed by a thrown weapon's marshal and one other person.
