TOURNAMENT ORGANIZATION
All events will be fenced electrically. Masks, body cords AND LAMES! will be subject to equipment control. Cuffs are required. Original seeding will be based on National Rating (e.g., A03, B01, C04, etc) with appropriate use of National Rolling Points (it is the fencer's responsibility to inform the organizers if they are on the NRPS). One round of pools will be fenced; 100% promoted to DE's of 15 touches. Initial seeding, seeding after pools and final placements will be posted in the venue. Fencers are responsible for verifying the posted lists, and signing their pool and DE sheets.
USFA MEMBERSHIP
Fencers must be a USFA or FIE Member. Proof of membership is required - USFA membership forms will be available at the tournament. If you do not have proof of membership, you will be required to complete and pay for a membership. Fencers are reminded they need the signature of a parent or guardian (not a coach) on the membership form. Payment for memberships is made directly to the USFA (bring separate checks for the tournament and membership).
