Sword and Board is an SCAism referring to the first level of authorization that a heavy fighter must undergo in order to participate in SCA armoured combat, that is, "sword and shield".
A new fighter must first prove he is capable of fighting safely with a sword and shield before being allowed to authorize in polearms, blunt weapons, two-stick, etc.
