The 2018 Battle in Seattle Veteran Events
January 26, 2018
at Rain City Fencing Center in Bellevue, WA
The Battle in Seattle is the Western Washington Division's largest annual event, drawing fencers from all over the country. Join us on the evening before the Battle for some great veteran fencing!
The veteran events are not part of the ROC, so you will not earn qualification by fencing this event. You must fence in the ROC events on the weekend to qualify.
Registration for all events closes on Friday 1/26/18 at 6:00pm. Fencing will start shortly thereafter.
Arrive early to get your equipment checked! We will be running on a strict schedule so your promptness is appreciated.
Fencers may NOT fence in two simultaneous events without the prior permission from the bout committee.
All events will be fenced as a single round of pools, 100% promoted to direct-elimination, no fence-off for third.
Prizes and medals will be awarded to the top 4 finishers in each event.
