I just made a shield, it is just foam, that blue foam from ganders mountain, and duct tape. Basicly I measured from my elbow above my fingers, made two pieces and folded them together so its four layers thick and duct taped them together, and added duct tape holds so it is basicly like a buckler, sort of like Noms.
I just want to know if it is legal to use since all I read from the rules is that shields need to be minimum if 12 inches and it seems to pass that.

As long as it doesn't stab anyone, and is all the foam covered? I'm not sure if you have to use cloth but ducktape over all of it should be legal

Its foam and duct tape, as long as the duct tape does not have to be covered, which I would not understand why it would then yes its all covered  Woot! First legal shield! |

I'm far from an authority on the rules, but isn't there a flex regulation?

I did not see any but that does not mean there is one present.

There is no rule against flimsy shields HOWEVER i don't recommend it.
If you can find anything to help reinforce it I'll be bringing several foamsmithing supplies so i should be able to fix it

It's about the size of the kickboards and not really flimsy at all
