Current competitive USFA Membership is required. Memberships are available at the door. Membership AND informed consent forms for minors require the signature of a parent or legal guardian, the coach may not sign.
Receipts from clubs or other tournaments are not an acceptable verification of membership, as there is no guarantee that these membership forms have been submitted. Membership and informed consent forms will be available at the venue. Payment for memberships is made directly to the USFA (bring separate checks for the tournament and membership).
You are STRONGLY advised to have your membership card already in your possession before the tournament. Also you are STRONGLY advised that if you have not become a member 3 weeks prior to the event, please just do it at the door, as your card will not have processed that quickly.
Fencers are responsible for verifying information on all posted lists both prior to and during fencing. Bring all discrepancies to the bout committee EARLY.
Fencers are required to fence in proper fencing attire; current USFA rules will apply. This includes proper conductive bibs for all foil masks.
Equipment testing includes mask, lame, sabre glove, and cords. Please come early to ensure enough time to have equipment checked, and in the case of failure, enough time to find substitute equipment.
