EQUIPMENT
Visor masks will no longer be allowed at USFA competitions for Epee and Foil, effective immediately.

For further details see the USFA page on this topic.
Equipment (masks, lames, and electric cords) will be inspected and marked by the armorer. Penalty incurred for presenting to strip without official marks.
