Lists

The Lists is the area in which combat is done or the border around the area. So if a fighter is told to "enter the Lists" then he is asked to move onto the tourney field.

Lists in the SCA

Unfortunately, in the SCA this word has been mixed up with the records and lists that are made by the Lists Officer. As a result, list field and list keeper have both become SCAisms. In regards to tournaments in the SCA the person in charge of scoring tournaments and training others to do this is known as the Minister or Mistress of the Lists
