NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE! We will be in the EAST Field House Gym, not the West Field House as in past years! Directions are here: http://maps.ucsc.edu/cdeastfield.html Park in the East Remote parking lot (parking is free).
NOTICE: if you arrive after 10:00 am on either day, you will need to get a day pass for the recreation complex from the attendant at the entrance! Tell them you are with the fencing tournament.
Also please note that the event closing times are PRELIMINARY at the moment. We will be sending out email when they are finalized. Thanks!

NO SABRE EVENT THIS YEAR
March 25, 2008: We will not be hosting a sabre event this year due to limited space in the East Field House and a lack of qualified sabre directors. Please contact the tournament director (paul@obscure.com) if you have any questions.
We have limited the number of fencers who can register for each event as we will only be able to set up eight strips in the East Field House (and even eight will be crowded). Please sign up early! We don't expect to have to turn people away, but it is better to sign up now and secure your spot!
