The relatively low requirements to participate are also one of the strengths of the SCA. For example, they make it possible to participate in the SCA on a small budget. As long as you are genuinely interested in {{tag|medieval}} or Renaissance life, there is a place for you in the SCA. If it was a job or a hobby in Period, most likely someone within the SCA practices it, sometimes to an excellent degree. Excellent practitioners are awarded a SCA peerage (SCA-wide, highest level award) known as the Order of the Laurel. | The relatively low requirements to participate are also one of the strengths of the SCA.

The SCA is {{tag|Global|worldwide}} in scope. There are active groups all over the {{tag|United States|USA}}, {{tag|Canada}}, Europe, {{tag|Israel}}, {{tag|Africa}}, {{tag|Australia}}, and {{tag|New Zealand}}, with scattered groups elsewhere. The Known World is divided into Kingdoms. Each Kingdom determines its King and Queen by combat in a crown tournament. | The SCA is {{tag|Global|worldwide}} in scope.

To prepare for tournament and wars, some groups hold 'fight practices' where a unique full contact {{tag|martial arts|martial art}} is practiced. The fighters wear armour (often of their own making) and strike each other with sticks primarily made of rattan, and made to resemble swords, pikes, spears, axes and other medieval weapons. This Armoured Combat (sometimes called 'Hardsuit' or 'Heavy Weapons Fighting') is interesting among martial arts for its lack of formalised training, which allows new-comers to add to the game in unpredictable ways. SCA fighters practice many-on-many engagements called melees or wars. | To prepare for tournament and wars, some groups hold 'fight practices' where a unique full contact {{tag|martial arts|martial art}} is practiced.
