Is your weapon's grip slick with sweat? Then it's time to pit your hot steel against ours, 'cause this tournament is TOO HOT to Handle! Join us for the first tournament of the season in Oregon! Popsicles and ice cream will be awarded as prizes to cool you off.
Cost is $10 registration, plus $10 per event. Please bring cash or checks ONLY, as we do not accept debit/credit at tournaments.
Medals will be awarded for first place; ribbons for second and third place. Additionally, everyone who enters will receive a popsicle or ice cream!
We have four grounded strips, which may or may not be used for your event. DE final bouts for epee events will always be fenced on a grounded strip.
Membership:This is the first tournament in Oregon for the new season! USFA membership is required for ALL events, and is available at the tournament; USFA non-competitive members may only fence in unsanctioned events. USFA membership, including upgrades to competitive memberships, can be purchased at the tournament. Save time: make sure your membership is current, and renew online at https://www.railstation.org/usfencing/default.aspx before you arrive if it is not!
Equipment:All events require USFA/AFL-compliant mask, glove, knickers, UAP, socks, and jacket (name stenciling NOT required). Please note that while USFA events allow colored uniforms, etc., AFL events require white uniforms (including socks!). Electrical equipment is mandatory for all events except AFL foil, which is fenced dry. AFL rules and requirements can be viewed online at http://www.americanfencingleague.org. Thanks for your cooperation.
Location: We are just off of 25th & McGilchrist, near the Salem airport, and just five minutes off of I-5 exit 253 (Hwy 22). Come fence on our fully suspended floor with state-of-the-art under-strip illumination. Feed your coffee habit at Bad Girls Coffee, right across the street from us. DO NOT USE Google maps to find us - they still have our old location listed on Belmont St.
