Gobbler's Revenge After-Thanksgiving Epee

Entry fees: $20 first event, $10 second event. Special rate of $30 if you enter both. $10 late fee if you don't pre-register! So pre-register! But only if you're coming! Thank you! Events Scheduled: Div II Mixed Epee, registration closes at 10 am, fencing starts at 10:30. Div II Women's Epee, registration closes at noon, fencing starts at noon:30. Unrated Mixed Y12 Epee, registration closes at 1 pm, fencing starts at 1:30. We will run the Mixed Random Draw Team Epee if people still want to fence some more. It will start about 3 pm or so, depending on registration numbers from Women's and Mixed epee. If you'd like to wait and see how you feel after your individual event to decide on the Team event that's fine, don't feel obligated to sign up for the team event beforehand. No Y12 fencers in the team event, sorry. If we do have enough people (6 minimum) signed up for a team event we'll sort you into top, middle and bottom thirds based on results from individual events and the opinion of the bout committee and pull names out of a hat to make up teams on the spot. If we have a lot of people signed up we may use some imagination in the format; last year, for example, we ran a pool of teams, each round to a multiple of 3 rather than 5, each round to a max of 1 minute rather than 3. At any rate, it will be a lot of fencing but will not go on until midnight. It's fun! Meet some new people, don't be such a wallflower. You're so shy! And such a pretty face. Stand up straight. That's better. All USFA rules will be enforced. USFA membership required. Masks and body cords will be checked before fencing. If you are under 18 and your parent/guardian won't be coming with you to the tournament, you must go here: http://www.gulfcoastfencing.org/GCwaiverconsent.pdf print off the form, and have a parent or guardian sign it, and bring it with you, or you won't be able to fence. Won't that be sad? I think that will be sad. So print it off and get it signed and bring it with you. Sorry, your coach cannot sign it in place of a parent. Directions: To Lake Jackson, from Houston: Take 45 to 288 south. Pass through Pearland, Sugarland, and Angleton, keep going, it's about 45 miles from Houston. When you get to Lake Jackson, pass the 2004 exit and take the Oyster Creek exit. Turn left on Oyster Creek and follow it through town. Go about 1.5 miles, pass through a number of stop lights. At some point the street name changes to College Drive, just keep going straight. After you cross the railroad tracks look for the college on the left. Depending on where in Houston you're coming from it's about an hour drive. We'll have some signs up to direct you to the gym. If you have a GPS, plug in "500 College Dr., Lake Jackson, TX, 77566".
