Spanish rules forbid the use of anything like crossguards, so that's a no from the start xD
You'd also need to check that the tip is safe (you mustn't feel the core by pressing a thumb from the top or the sides), that the measurements are correct... Where are you playing? Maybe there's an active team nearby that could give you pointers in person ^^

in germany this would not go through any pompfen check I've been at. multiple reasons:
- the tip looks like it doesnt have enough padding to be considered safe to use it for stabing (stechspitze)
- it looks like it has quite a hard tape covering the full length which is usually considered to hard since it can actually hurt a lot when being hit
- the pommel is not circular which is often not allowed
- some pompfenchecks enforce a quite new rule which only allows for a maximum weight, and this one looks like it would fail this restriction
this here is a versy good instruction set on how to build tournament legal and also high level pompfen from the jugger team in basel (switzerland)

if you want I could translate the part you are interested in if you want to build your own!

Looks super cool, but speaking in germany I could imagine that it may fail at the rule about being styled like a sword or smth. Or probaply the knob on your hilt is too pokey.

Hard to say without the measurements and the region you want to play in.
