2010-2011 Capitol Division Calendar of Events
- All times listed are close of
check-in. Late entries will be permitted only at the meet manager’s
discretion, and only if the event seeding has not yet been completed. See Capitol Division Clubs
for directions to the competition sites.
- Fees, unless otherwise
noted, are $5.00 registration fee (per tournament) plus $25.00 entry fee for each event. The $5.00 registration fee may be waived for qualifying events if the event is not fenced.
- The registration fee is waived for those students who show a valid university undergraduate ID when registering for
Division events. Whether this discount is valid for club sponsored events is to be determined by the club.
- No entry fee discounts will be given
for refereeing. All referees will be paid at the approved rate. (see Executive Committee
minutes).
- At all Capitol Division
events, each fencer will be required to show his/her USFA membership card,
FIE license, or a receipt for membership. Fencers who do not provide this
proof of membership will be required to complete and pay for a new
membership application before being allowed to compete. Applications will
be available at each competition.
- At qualifying events, all
fencers must be US
Citizens or Permanent Residents, must not have represented another country
in international competition in the past three years, and must be
permitted to represent the United States
at the next World Championships.
- All events will be fenced
electrically. A full uniform, as specified in the USFA rules, including at
least 2 functioning weapons, 2 functioning body cords, and a valid
metallic vest and mask (as applicable per weapon) is required. Clothing
must be in good condition, with no holes. All fencers must wear plastrons,
and legs must be fully covered by either knickers or socks. Sweatpants or
shorts are not permitted under any circumstance! Women are required to
wear breast protectors, and men are strongly recommended to wear
protective cups. Masks must be in good condition, with no obvious holes or
dents. They must be able to pass the 12-kilogram punch test. Jackets must
overlap knickers by at least 10 centimeters. Fencers are encouraged, but
not required, to have their name on the back of their jacket or lamé or on their rear leg.
- In order to compete in open
events, fencers must be at least 13 years of age by January 1 of the
fencing season. Fencers younger than 13 may only compete in open events if
they are on the Junior national point standings.
- We urge everyone to sign up
for division tournaments on www.AskFRED.net. Some tournaments may be
cancelled if AskFRED does not show enough
fencers.
