2014 RJCC At Mission The Regional Junior Cadet Circuit (RJCC) is sanctioned by USA Fencing. RJCCs are a group of events throughout the country for fencers in the junior and cadet age categories in all six weapons. They provide an opportunity for young athletes to experience elite competition, earn national RJCC points, and prepare for future national events while limiting travel time and expenses for the fencers and families. This RJCC will provide a qualifying path for Junior Olympics. National RJCC Points will be awarded to those fencers placing in the top 40% of the competitive field regardless of where the cut occurs. Fencers in the top 32 of this points list, who are not auto-qualifiers, will be qualified for Junior Olympics. The Athlete’s Handbook:(http://www.usfencing.org/page/show/698380-athlete-handbook) contains detailed information on qualifying pathways for summer nationals and should be used as the appropriate reference document.
