Announcing a new Youth Progress ive tournament program for 2007-2008 The Youth Progressive tournaments are back\, better than ever! This year\, there will be a cumulative p oint system\, allowing the top 8 fencers in each age category to win g reat trophies\, twice a year. Youth Progressive tournaments are open t o all USFA members* meeting the USFA 2007-2008 age requirements: Yout h-8: born in 1999-2002 Youth-10: born in 1997-2000 Youth-12: born in 1 995-1998 Youth-14: born in 1993-1996 (Fencers who are on the USFA nati onal point standings in one age bracket are also eligible to compete i n the next higher age bracket.) The Youth Progressive tournaments will be held in 2 series. The first series ended at Youth Progressive #4 a nd was based on points earned in the Youth Progressive tournaments #1- 4\; the second series will end at Youth Progressive #8 and will be bas ed on points earned in the Youth Progressive tournaments #5-8. Trophie s will be awarded for the top 8 point standings in Youth-8 Foil\, Yout h-10 Foil\, Youth-12 Foil\, Youth-12 Epee\, Youth-14 Foil and Youth-14 Epee. Here's how the point system works: 1. Everyone who participate s in an event will earn points for that event. The number of points ea rned depends on the number of participants in that event. If there are 20 participants in Youth-12 Foil\, then the fencer in 1st place earns 20 points\, and the fencer in 20th place earns 1 point. 2. Events are mixed (boys and girls). Points will be based on overall results\, not separated by gender. (All participants will receive a ribbon or certi ficate at each tournament.) 3. Overall point standings will be based o n points earned in the best 3 out of 4 Youth Progressive tournaments. Point standings will be posted at http://www.nwfencing.org 4. The over all points winner of an age category in the first Youth Progressive se ries will be ineligible to earn points for that age category in that w eapon for the second series. For example\, the winner in the Youth-10 Foil category in Sept-Jan. series will not be able to earn Youth-10 Fo il points for the Feb-June series\, but can earn points in Youth-10 Ep ee or Youth-12 Foil. ------------------ Schedule (close of registratio n times & award ceremony times): 9:00am: Y12 Foil\, Y14 Epee 10:30am Y 8 Foil 12:30pm Awards ceremony for Y12 Foil\, Y14 Epee & Y8 Foil 1:00p m: Y10 Foil\, Y14 Foil 2:30: Y12 Epee 5:00pm Awards ceremony for Y10 F oil\, Y14 Foil & Y12 Epee ------------------- Cost: $10 preregistratio n fee ($15 at the door)\, plus $10 per event. *Current USFA membership is required for fencers born in 2000 or earlier years\, and can be pu rchased or renewed online or at the door.
