Virginia Novice
October 22, 2005
This event is open only to people whose very first fencing competition
ever was after October 16, 2005.
Novices, come fence!
If your first competition was after 10/16/2005 and you have earned
a rating you are still a Novice.
If you have competed in a tournament run by your club only for club
members that didn't require USFA membership, you are still a
novice.
If you competed in college or as a kid a long time ago, you are
not a Novice.
Sunday
Novice Foil - 9:30am
Entry Fee: $15.
Preregister Here! It's free and will help the division prepare for the tournament.
Fencers of all ages are eligible to compete in the Novice. Fencers
under 13 years of age should consult with their coach before entering.
Details:
- This tournament is run by the Virginia Division, Jeff Snider presiding.
- The times listed for each event are the close of
registration. Fencers arriving after that time may not be
allowed to enter. The bout committee has sole discretion to allow
late entries, and in all cases an additional $5 late registration
fee will be charged.
- The format is a round of pools, 6 or 7 fencers in each pool,
followed by DEs. Either 100% or 80% will advance to DEs depending
on total size of each event and at the bout committee's determination.
In general, events larger than 60 people will have a cut, and smaller
events will not.
- All events are fenced electric with the latest USFA adopted
timings, and each fencer must have at least two working body cords
and weapons with them at the strip.
- Fencers must have all protective gear to compete. Knickers are
required, sweatpants and jeans are not permitted.
- In the unlikely event of natural disaster or impassable weather,
visit the Online Forum or
send mail or call any member of the Executive Committee for the
latest information on event postponement or cancellation.
- This web page and the 7 officers of the division
are the only official sources of information for this tournament.
If the information from two or more sources conflicts, call or email
the division chairman. If you get your information from any other
source (like a teammate or a club newsletter), you risk being
misinformed.
- Some additional things to
remember.
