Seeding
Seeding for Youth Events shall be based on the following order:
1. Current national rolling point standings according to age group and weapon. This filters down the entire list, not just the top 32 as done in a NAC.
2. Letter ranking with year classification
3. Athletes with neither of the above are seeded on a random basis after the athletes who are seeded by the preceding factors.
Equipment Check
All weapons will be scored electrically. Equipment (masks, lames, and body cords/head cords) will be inspected and marked.
All Y10 events must be fenced with a size 0 or 2 blade. This rule will be enforced
