All entrants' age/point eligibility will be verified prior to the tournament, and any ineligible fencers will be notified and removed from the "who's preregistered" list. Age Eligibility =========== ROC : Born 2004 or earlier CADET: 2001-2004 JUNIOR: 1998-2004 Exception to Age Eligibility - Cadet (through JO's): A fencer born after 2004 can fence in Cadet local and regional competitions, NAC Cadet tournaments and Junior Olympic Cadet Fencing Championships and qualifying tournaments IF the fencer is on the National Youth 14 point standings at the time of the entry deadline for that tournament. - Junior (through JO's): A fencer born after 2004 can fence in Junior local and regional competitions, NAC Junior and Junior Olympic Junior Fencing Championships and qualifying tournaments IF the fencer is on the National Cadet point standings at the time of the entry deadline for that tournament. Tournament Staff ============== Bout Committee Chair: Rasha Abdellatif Head Referee: Fernando Delgado Referees Assigners: Fernando Delgado and Abdel Aziz Medical: Adam, Sturavant, MD Head Armor: Chris Green Equipment Vendor: Blue Gauntlet Fencing Gear http://www.blue-gauntlet.com Official Merchandiser: Lamsah Custom Printing http://lamsah.us Tournament Format and Rules ========================= USA Fencing rules apply. http://www.usfencing.org/page/show/695208-rulebook Equipment check required (mask, lame (as appropriate), gloves, sabre cuffs, head cords, and body cords). Armorer will be on-site for repairs (for fee). Name is NOT required on uniform. Medals awarded to top 8. 100% advances to DE after pool results. Points for ROC ============ - Regional points to the top 40%, rounding up. - Up to the best 3 results in a given category will be combined to determine a fencer's Regional Rank each season. - Athletes may earn points at ROCs in any region. - There is NO trickle down for regional points. Points earned in a ROC tournament only appear in the category in which they were earned. (For example: Div 1A do NOT trickle down to Div 2). - There IS trickle down for QUALIFICATION between Div 1A and Div 2/Div 3. Therefore, if a fencer qualifies in Div 1A and is age and classification eligible for Div 2 (Div 3), they earn qualification in that category as well. Points for RJCC ============= - All athletes whose USA Fencing's membership division is in the region in which the RJCC is held will earn regional points based on placement. Athletes fencing in an RJCC outside their region will not earn regional points. Larger fields will award more points for placement. A percentage of athletes will earn qualification from their rankings on the RRPS. For more information on this Regional Points formula see the Regional Recognition Initiative Document available http://www.usfencing.org/rycresources - Up to the best 2 results in a given category will be combined to determine a fencer's Regional Rank each season. - There is NO trickle down for points at the Regional level. Points earned in a Regional Cadet or Junior tournament only appear in the category in which they were earned. (For example: Junior regional points do NOT trickle down to Cadet). - There IS trickle down for QUALIFICATION at the Regional level. Therefore, if a fencer qualifies in an older age group and is age eligible for a younger age group, they earn qualification in that category as well. (For example: If a fencer qualifies to the July Challenge in Juniors and is age eligible for Cadet, he/she will also qualify in Cadet) - There are NO National Points earned at RJCC events. Junior and Cadet National Points (NRPS) are only awarded at NACs, the July Challenge and Junior Olympic/National Championships.
