All times are final, please do not arrive late or after the close of registration. Arrive early to get your equipment checked! We will be running on a strict schedule so your promptness is appreciated.
Fencers that wish to fence in two events on the same day must report to the strip when called or they may be scratched from the event. We will try to accommodate people as best we can, but we will not delay events if a fencer is still fencing in another event.
All events will be fenced as a single round of pools, followed by straight direct-elimination, no fence-off for third. If an event exceeds 80 fencers, it may be necessary to do a cut after the pool round. This will be announced after the registration deadline, once the number of attendees is known.
Prizes will be awarded to the top 8 finishers.
