TN Divisionals

Official Start Times: All Div. II/III (C & Under and D & Under ) qualifying events have been combined. The posted start times are the earliest times the events will take place. Because so many fencers are fencing in multiple events and because there is a short supply of directors we do not expect all events to start on time. 9am Div. II/III Senior Men's Epee Div.

The USFA sponsored Summer Nationals fencing competition will be held in Atlanta, GA, July 3 thru 11. If you are interested in competing in this tournament, you must meet all age and citizenship qualification requirements, as well as qualify through your Division if you are not an automatic qualifier. This means if more than 3 fencers from the Tennessee Division are interested in competing in the same event, then a qualifying competition must be held at the Division level. The top 25% of the competitors at the qualifying tournament (no fewer than 3) will be eligible to compete in the Summer Nationals competition. The Annual Division meeting will be held after noon when there is an appropriate lull in the competition. ====== Pre-registration closes on March 15, 2010. Late entries will be charged double fees. Events will be kept separate by gender and age. Within gender, rating-restricted events could be combined based on the number of entries. An individual event with three or fewer competitors entered at the end of registration will not be held; those entered at that time will be considered the Division representatives in that event. Team events will be held if there are at least two teams. Ratings Restrictions: Per 2.11.3 of The Athlete's Handbook ratings at the time of the qualifying competition will be considered (Div II: C, D, E, U, Div III: D, E, U). Birth Year Restrictions: Per 2.5 of The Athlete's Handbook. ************************************************************ The cost for the first event is $20.00. Each additional event is $10.00.
