=====<u><big>Rating Armor Pieces</big></u>=====
Each piece of [[V9: Physical Armor| Physical Armor]] must be [[V9: Equipment Inspection|inspected]] and given an '''Armor Rating''' in order to be used for Amtgard [[V9: Core Combat Rules|combat]].

#Physical Armor pieces must be examined and rated by an [[V9: Equipment Inspector| Equipment Inspector]].
#Each piece of physical armor will be assigned to an [[V9: Rating Armor#Armor Tiers|Armor Tier]] based on its [[V9: Armor Styles|style]] that will outline its Base Armor Rating and Maximum Armor Rating. Armor that cannot be assigned to a tier does not count as [[V9: Armor|armor]] and cannot be used as such.
#Pieces can be granted [[V9: Armor Rating Modifiers|bonuses or penalties]] based on the quality of construction or appearance.
#*The sum total of all modifiers cannot increase a piece's armor rating beyond the maxiumum allowable for its tier. Surplus bonuses confer no additional benefit.
#*Armor with a final rating of zero or less (due to penalties) does not count as [[V9: Armor| Armor]] and cannot be used as such.
#[[V9: Armor Styles|Armor Pieces]] are rated individually but will be [[V9: Averaging Armor|averaged together]] when worn to produce an Armor Point Total for each [[V9: Hit Locations|Hit Location]].
{{V9 Example|text='''PRO TIP: [[V9: Equipment Reference Sheets|EQUIPMENT REFERENCE SHEETS]]'''<br>Armor rating can be subjective at times. To help mitigate this, it is recommended that players keep a reference sheet with a list of details for their physical armor pieces including descriptions, construction details, and previously assigned ratings to help Inspectors make quick and confident assessments. Keeping signatures and inspection dates from other Inspectors will add further credibility to your notes.<br><br>Reference Sheets are not necessary but they will greatly improve your odds of getting consistent armor ratings at every event you attend!}}<br>
