Indiana Summer National Divisional Qualifier for Y14/DIV II/III and VET events for 2017 Summer National Championships in St Lake City. Event to be staged in conjunction with Firebird Cup, Saturday, April 29, 2017.
Registrations are now closed.
The 2017 Indiana Division Summer National Qualifiers - open to USA Fencing and Indiana Division members - for Men and Women Y14/DIV II/III and VET events is set.
Registration for this event is now CLOSED.
Events that are to be fenced will be staged Saturday, April 29, at Indianapolis Fencing Club's fencing facility in Abundant Life Church gym, 7606 E 82nd Street, Indianapolis, IN, in conjunction with Firebird Cup.
The event(s) to be fenced Saturday are:
DIV II/III Men's Sabre
DIV II/III Men's Epee
All qualifying events that will be fenced will be afternoon starts approximately 30 - 45 minutes after the conclusion of their weapon counterpart event in the Firebird Cup.
If you are fencing in the Firebird Cup, you will already be at venue in advance of these times so further planning is unnecessary; however, if you are not fencing in Firebird Cup, you should plan to be at venue, approximately 30 after the posted start time of the weapon Firebird Cup start time to allow for variations in the approximated times.
After pool rounds, the direct elimination round will be fenced to determine each place (no tie for third).
If you are a fencer in any of the qualifying events, you should ensure that you are in compliance with the requirements of participation and qualification as noted above. Your failure to do so could invalidate your ability to qualify in this event for Summer Nationals.
Please see the USA Fencing Athlete Handbook for qualification paths and requirements. There are NO walk-in registrations for this tournament. USA Fencing and Indiana Division membership required.
For those events where there were three or less fencers register for the event, and even though the event will not be fenced those eligible fencers are considered qualified.
There is a $10/event charge for events (if fenced).
Be advised, USA Fencing rules allow qualification for VET events at Summer Nationals via division qualification. Qualification occurs by "competing" in a DIV II/DIV III event for the weapon you would be interested in fencing for VET's at Summer Nationals. Qualification is limited to DIV II/DIV III eligible fencers rated C and Below. Qualification for VET events is not dependent on your placement in the DIV II/III qualifier (and is therefore automatic based solely on participation). However, any placement within the top 25% would additionally qualify you to compete in a DIV II/DIV III event as allowed by your placement and classification. Therefore, a separate VET qualifier is not necessary, and will not be fenced.
Final results, if applicable, and ALL qualifying notices with instructions for registering for Summer Nationals with USA Fencing will be sent to qualifying fencers NLT Sunday, April, 30, 2017.
