RULES, EQUIPMENT
* All fencers must be members of the United States Fencing Association (USFA). USFA Membership can be paid online: http://usfencing.org/us-fencing-membership. Please bring USFA card or receipt with you.
* USFA rules will be enforced. With regard to safety, each fencer must wear full fencing clothing, including a plastron (under-arm protector), plastic chest protector (women), knickers, and long socks. Masks will be punch-tested for safety at the event.
* USFA rules require each fencer to have a second body cord and a second weapon by the strip.
* FOIL Fencers must have new conductive bib requirement.

NEW PRE-PAYMENT OPTION & NO-SHOWS
*In order to ensure fair and high-quality tournaments, RedStar Fencing Club chooses to hire USFA Directors to work at our tournaments. Because of the amount of no-call or no shows, it's difficult to compensate Directors who are confirmed in advance. To help promote the pre-payment option, we have reduced our rate to $20 if you use the pre-payment method. Pre-payment is NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-TRANSFERABLE. If you are not sure if you can make it, just pre-register without pre-pay. You can always go back into your AskFred Account and pre-pay up until the cut-off date. AskFred charges an extra $0.99 fee.

*For those who pre-register, please UN-REGISTER yourself or email/call us if you cannot attend our events. Repeat offenders who no-call/no-show will have a "3 strikes" policy per season. After the 3rd infringement, your registration will need pre-approval, and an additional fee of $10 will be collected and DONATED to the American Red Cross upon check-in.
