- US Military personnel or family members stationed at a base in
Virginia.
Exceptions: Persons residing in adjacent states who belong to a
club based in Virginia which regularly competes in Virginia, and
whose home state either does not have a state games, or does not
sponsor the sport in question -OR- Persons who are employed full
time in Virginia.
In addition to the Virginia residency requirement outlined above, fencers
must be USFA members. Non-Virginia residents may compete if they are a
registered member of the Virginia Division of the USFA.
Teams:
Teams are created by the bout committee prior to the beginning
of the competition. Fencers of any age may enter the team event.
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.
- Due to USFA restrictions, fencers must be born in 1994 or earlier
to be eligible to compete in Senior events.
- 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.
