* This is a non-USFA fun tournament. No membership of any kind is required.
* Fencing uniform is required, including regulation mask, jacket, lame, glove, and non-marking shoes.
* For this event, a mask with a lame bib is NOT required for foil, so "standard" masks may be used.
* Fencers may wear masks with a lame bib, but they may not use tape to cover the conductive part (for safety reasons).
* Names are NOT required on jackets or lames.
* All bouts will be self-refereed; experienced fencers who are not fencing at the time, and who are comfortable with refereeing bouts in a given weapon, may referee.
* The tournament will have a BEGINNERS division and a NON-BEGINNERS division.
* BEGINNERS are those fencers who have fenced three tournaments or less.
* Fencers in both divisions will fence with each other normally in pools and DEs, but will be awarded medals based on their final ranking as compared with others in their own division.
---------- PRIZES----------
* Medals will be awarded to all 4 finalists in both the BEGINNERS division and the NON-BEGINNERS division.
