FRED Announces the Oregon Division RYC # 1 Region 1
This event is for youths in the Y10, Y12, and Y14 age categories, to help them gain experience in larger "USFA-style" competitions without having to travel out of their local region.
Events will be held in all three weapons and age categories, and medals awarded to the top three male and female fencers in each weapon/category. Participation qualifies fencers for both the Y10/Y12 competitions at North American Cups, while the winners of the Y-14 events are qualified for Summer Nationals. With this in mind, the Y14 events will be run as a combined pool round and then the DEs will be split into boys/girls, with the winner of each qualifying for SN.
IMPORTANT: NEW FOR 2012-2013: Note: At least 2 athletes must compete (have fenced) in a given RYC age/weapon event to fulfill eligibility requirements for the Y10 and/or Y12 NAC or for a first place finish to result in qualification to the Y14 Summer National Championships. Event results submitted with only 1 participant listed will not result in the athlete fulfilling qualification requirement. i.e Y14 events will need to have at least two athletes of the same gender to be a qualifying event.
All fencers must be a current USFA member (or complete the application at the door), and bring their membership card. Full USFA uniform is mandatory, including mask, jacket, plastron (underarm protector), fencing knickers, knee-length socks, lame, and glove. Each fencer will be required to have two working electric weapons (foil, epee, or sabre, as appropriate), and two working body/head cords as needed. All Y10 fencers will be required to use size "0" or size "2" blades (i.e., less than 32.5 inches long). Foil events will be conducted with the new foil mask requirement
Equipment checks are conducted at RYC events held in the Portland area. Please make sure your mask, body cords, weapons, and lames are in good working order prior to the event. Limited types of replacement equipment are available at NWFC (Beaverton).

Y10: Birth years of 2002 - 2005
