REGIONAL YOUTH CIRCUIT (Y8-Y14)... Be sure USFA membership is current (last season's 1-year memberships expired July 31, 2011)....
Fencers must fence in at least one Regional or Super Youth Competition in the current season to be eligible to enter the same category and weapon at the April and July NACs. Winners of Y14 RYC events qualify for Y14 at Summer Nationals. No national points are awarded at RYC. Ratings can be awarded, however youth events do not use the E1 or D1 classifications. This means that these events are NR until they achieve a C1 level or higher.
