National age eligibility requirements will be enforced; however, fencers with points in the next lower age category who do not otherwise meet age eligibility are allowed to fence.
Qualifying Events
For competitions listed as qualifying events, the following additional rules apply:
• You absolutely, positively must be a Nevada division member in order to compete in qualifying events. You must bring your USFA card to the event with you (we will be verifying, on-site, against the latest national membership listing). If you are listed on the USFA's national membership list as belonging to another division, we absolutely, positively will not let you compete. Who you contacted, what they said, and/or what mistakes were made by you or the USFA do not matter. Your having missed your own division's qualifying event, or failed to qualify through it, or your attendance at an out of town school does not entitle you to attend the Nevada division's qualifiers. If there is a legitimate issue, make sure the USFA contacts us (director@redrockfencingcenter.com) DIRECTLY.
If you have any problems registering, please immediately contact us (702-222-1901).
