************** NEW AND IMPORTANT **************
Additional NEWS: We'd REALLY LIKE to get a couple of the VIRTUAL SCORING MACHINE set for our club/school. You can help: donate either $$$ or an old laptop you no longer need to us! VSM is $150/set and turns an old pc system or laptop into a function, fullly FIE-compliant scoring system using a simple USB interface.
************** NEW AND IMPORTANT **************

Unrated Mixed Epee - open to epee fencers ages 13 and up, unrated-only (for the chance to gain a rating!)
Unrated Mixed Foil - open to foil fencers ages 13 and up, unrated-only (for the chance to gain a rating!)

THERE ARE ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED PER EVENT:
Mixed Foil will have, at most, 8 fencers.
Mixed Epee will have, at most, 8 fencers.
(If you don't register in time, there will be another competition NEXT month as well).

This is to help make the pools flow faster and to make the overall end at a reasonable hour. We will run at least 2 strips simultaneously so it shouldn't take too long anyway.

ALL FENCERS WHO COMPETE MUST:
- have a membership in the USFA (this allows us to offer the rating for 1st place)
- have a plastron/plastic chestguard
- STRIVE TO HAVE 2 WORKING WEAPONS plus 2 WORKING bodycords.
