Updated Schedule & Events for 2023

Thank you North Carolina for supporting these events! This tournament series has grown more quickly than we anticipated and are expanding this into a full 2 day event. We are also adding SANCTIONED D & Under (Division 3) Foil, Epee, and Saber events concurrently.

Priority on Youth is a tournament series designed to provide a fun and positive atmosphere for youth to develop their competition skills and experience, while fostering their love and passion for competition.

Athletes will earn points by participating in each event, athletes that participate in 4/5 of the tournament dates will be eligible to select an amazing prize from our prize table after the completion of the final event. The Division 3 events will replace the Junior events for the point list for the final 3 events in 2023.

Our unsanctioned event fees are $25 for the first event, $15 for additional events for Forge Members. $35 for the first, and $25 for additional events for non-members. Event fees are paid at the club on the day of the event, during check-in. The sanctioned Division 3 events are a flat $35 per event, with no multi-event discounts - this is to cover the cost of holding a sanctioned event.

Times listed are EVENT START TIMES.Fencers should plan on arriving at the venue one hour prior to the start of the event to allow time to check-in and warm-up
