I have decided to provide some 'insightful' knowledge to the concerns of the difference between sparring and fighting and why I allow sparring in this school.
I'll start with the difference.
You'll know a fight when you see it when you can easily tell that the two are trying to kill each other. Hell, just waiting to see the outcome is enough to tell whether it is a fight or not. A hint for those still unsure. They probably won't walk together or stop when one of them is injured. I hope that's understandable.
As for sparring. I can easily tell you right now that whoever is actually intending to spar isn't looking to kill the other person. A hint to be able to tell the difference may be any friendliness you notice after the spar.
Any problems with being able to tell the difference, BRING IT TO ME. I already have a list of those prone to fights, so I'll know the difference off the bat.
Now. I allow sparring in this school because I am aware that many of you use it as a form of exercise as well as practice for self-defense. I trust many of you are mature enough to use it purely for that. If I were to keep this banned, then those who are sparring purely for this purpose have to suffer. With no way to train or exercise the way they prefer, they step to doing it out of sight and away from authority. Then, we end up punishing those who don't deserve it.
That... Is why I allow sparring.
Anyone who has problems with this can take it up with me.

I want to make it clear that any problem deciding whether someone is fighting or sparring is to be brought to me. Not Dumbledore, me. The Headmaster has his hands full enough without being informed of things that he already has someone hired to deal with.
Are we all clear?
