According to the Westmarch and Dragonspine Corpora, from what I can tell, the Monarch at all times MUST have a Champion and if the position is vacant MUST appoint one. No where in either Corpora does it list weapon checks as the Monarch's duties. The Champion is the officer responsible in both corpora for weapon checks and safety on the field. The Champions of other parks i.e. Principality, Kingdom, are responsible for coordinating the weapons checks with the other parks and insuring that the checks are carried out once a month. However I did not see anywhere that it said that their ruling on a weapon/item supersedes that of a local park in their home park. However should I come to another park the Champion there would have final say if my equipment is legal. At least that is how I understand it.
Basically within their own park the Champion has final say on equipment following both the rules of play and the corpora. The Monarch has no say as to what the equipment rates. The Captain of the Guard, Guildmaster of Reeves and the Heir Apparent can assist the Champion, but from my readings I understand that the Champion is the final say.
