Oregon Junior Olympic QualifierDec 12, 2015
Join us for the Junior Olympic Qualifiers for the Oregon Division. Fencers must qualify to attend Junior Olympics. If you are auto-qualified for the JOs, you are not eligible for this event.
Join us for the 2016 Oregon Division Junior Olympic Qualifiers.
The Junior Olympic Fencing Championships are held each year in February during the President’s holiday weekend. In 2016 they will be held in Cleveland, Ohio. Fencers who want to fence at JOs must qualify at this event unless they have national points.
Cadet events are open to fencers born in 1999-2002.
Junior events are open to fencers born in 1996-2002.
Eligibility
• All competitors must be current (2015-2016) members of the USFA and must be members of the Oregon Division; fencers from other divisions are not eligible to compete. Permanent resident who have not represented another country in the last three years may participate.
• The athlete's birth year falls in that age bracket OR on the national rolling point standings in the next younger age bracket. For clarification, go to http://www.usfencing.org/page/show/698393-age-and-classification-eligibility
A fencer must be on the National Rolling Point Standings (NRPS), or attend the Qualifier and place in the appropriate place or percentage for each event they wish to compete in.
In each event, the top 25% (rounded up) will qualify for JOs, with a minimum of 3. If 3 or fewer fencers show up for an event, the event will not be fenced and all will qualify. Fencers that earn qualification at the Junior events will automatically qualify for the corresponding Cadet event (if age-eligible.)
Following is the tentative schedule of events, dependent on number of registrations. Low numbers may result in all events being moved to one day, Saturday December 12. Also, low numbers may result in start times being adjusted accordingly, however the order of events will remain as listed.
All times listed are close of registration.

Pre-registration on FRED is REQUIRED by 11:59pm on Saturday December 11, 2015. The day of the event you may fence with a walk-in fee of $60 reg + $30/event. Also, please remember that we only accept cash or checks at Division events. We DO NOT take credit/debit cards.
Registration fees are non-refundable, but the per-event fees will not be charged if an event is not fenced.
You may join or renew your membership at the door, or online at http://www.usfencing.org/page/show/698114-membership. If you join/renew online, please bring a copy of your membership receipt as proof of membership. One-day memberships are not valid for this tournament.
Full USFA regulation uniform is required, including plastron, knickers, and knee-length socks. No jeans or sweatpants allowed. Names on the uniform are not required for the qualifier.
Each fencer will be required to have two working electric weapons (foil, epee, or saber, as appropriate), and two working body cords. Please make sure your mask, body cords, weapons, and lames are in good working order prior to the event, as all equipment must pass inspection in order to fence. We anticipate that we will offer an opportunity to get your equipment tested the night before the event. Weapons are checked on the strip. Foil events use a conductive mask.
We need volunteers for this event, so please contact the tournament organizers if you can help a shift. Also, healthy, fencer-friendly snacks are sold through a self-serve concession area.
The USFA Board of Directors has adopted the USFA SafeSport policy, which outlines requirements for all individuals who have frequent contact with minors. This includes coaches, referees, division officers, bout committee members, etc. Everyone is encouraged to familiarize themselves with the policy, which can be found here: http://www.usfencing.org/page/show/892379-safe-sport. Certain aspects of the SafeSport policy may be modified by the USFA Board of Directors in September. We will provide updates as we get more information. Feel free to contact any of the Division Officers if you have questions.
Come support our kids, families, and sport and eat with us! And thank you for signing up for this event!
