Foil Referee Workshop and Open
January 20, 2007
Saturday:
Open Foil: 1:00pm close of registration. Entries limited to 42 fencers,
first come first served. Preregister to ensure your entry!
Workshop starts at 9:00am Saturday.
Ian Serotkin and Andrew Crowder will spend the morning teaching
referees and fencers to see actions and describe them correctly.
In the afternoon attendees will referee bouts under supervision
to improve their skills.
Written and practical examinations will not be available at the
workshop!
Fee:
$10 for the clinic. $10 entry for the foil event, waived
for clinic attendees who are refereeing.
Clinic attendees must preregister for the tournament if
they want to be sure they can fence in it. Once the limit of 42
fencers has been reached, no more entries will be accepted.
Preregister! It's free, and guarantees you an entry in the event.
Details:
- The referee workshop is run by Ian Serotkin and Andrew Crowder.
- The foil event is run by the Virginia Division, and officiated by
developing referees under Ian and Andrew's supervision.
- 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.
- Due to USFA restrictions, fencers must be born in 1993 or earlier
to be eligible to compete.
- 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.
Points Awarded:
Virginia in all categories.
