There will be restrooms on site but we ask that you come fully dressed and ready to fence. Please only bring in the equipment that you need for your events in just a strip bag. We ask that you leave large roll bags in your vehicle during the event.
COVID-19 NOTICE:
All USFA health and safety rules will be enforced. All persons in the venue, including fencers, coaches, referees, and tournament officials must wear a suitable mask, covering the mouth and nose at all times, including while on-strip regardless of vaccination status. Yelling or screaming at any time is prohibited (Group 1 penalty). Continued failure to comply with any of these requirements is a Group 3 penalty, which may result in exclusion from the competition. Fencers must sanitize reels and other equipment after use; disinfectant wipes will be provided. Fencers and coaches shall not touch the scoresheet except to review and sign it after the pool is completed.
Fencers, coaches, and officials should not enter the venue if they have a fever, cough, or other symptoms of respiratory infection; if they have had a positive COVID-19 test in the preceding 10 day; or if they have been in close contact with a person who was positive for COVID-19 in the preceding 10 days. A temperature check may also be conducted at the door. Fencers who are prevented from competing in the various qualifying events due to COVID-19 restrictions will be able to petition for entry to the National Championships. Petitions are handled by the National Office, not the Division.
The number of persons in the venue will be restricted. Only fencers, referees, and tournament officials will be permitted entry. If space permits, one coach per club will be allowed in the venue. Parents and other spectators will not be allowed in the venue.
