================================================
This is a USA Fencing sanctioned epee tournament with two events running in parallel: senior mixed open, and Youth (Y10Y12, i.e. ages 7-12) mixed.
The doors open at 9:15 AM. All the fencers must be present by 10:00 AM.
Format: One round of pools; all fencers promoted into simple direct eliminations. Fencing off for the third place.
Equipment: This is US Fencing sanctioned tournament. All fencers are required to report to the strip for every bout in full fencing gear, with spare epee and spare body cord. Club equipment is available to all Delta fencers, free of charge. If you are not our member, we'll be still happy to have you, and if you need gear, we'll rent to you anything you need for use at this tournament, at $5 per item; just let us know in advance so we can reserve the equipment for you.
The final bout is fenced with mask lights, like in the finals of the Olympic Games and the World Championships! If you are in the finals, but are uncomfortable with mask lights, you may opt out of having the lights in your mask; if you'd like the lights but they do not fit into your mask, we'll be glad to let you use one of our masks where the lights install OK.
Entry fee: $30 during the pre-registration period. $45 at the door, if we have the space and referees.
Refund policy: If you have registered, but are unable to come, we will be happy to refund your fees paid, as long as you let us know no latter than the close of registration, the end of the day on Thursday, May 31. Refunds are sent - e-mailed through PayPal or mailed to you, your choice, 2-3 weeks after the event.
The Senior Open event is limited to 16 fencers, and Youth to 8, first come - first served. Pre-registration is required, including the payment of the tournament fees, no later than the end of the day on Thursday, May 31 2018.
