MTFC C and under mixed foil

Come fence with us Friday night for a C and under mixed foil tournament. This is guaranteed to be better than date night! You must be born 2003 or before. US Fencing Association membership required. Events Scheduled: C & Under Senior Mixed Foil ------------------ Important Info ------------------- Tournament: MTFC C and under senior mixed foil Date: September 2, 2016 Close of Registration: 6 PM Location: Metro Tacoma Fencing Club, Tacoma, WA We are physically located at 1106 South 15th Street, Tacoma, WA 98405 in the Sons of Norway building called "Normanna Hall" at the corner of 15th and Martin Luther King. Entrance is on the 15th Street side of the building. Look for the neon crossed swords sign in the window. REGISTRATION CLOSES promptly at 6 PM. Fencing will begin shortly thereafter. Traffic going south to Tacoma can be heavy at that time because housing in Pierce County is much more affordable than in King County so please plan accordingly. ENTRY FEE: $20 per fencer if pre-registered on AskFRED. $25 per fencer at the door. Credit card payment will incur a $2 surcharge. RENTAL GEAR: A limited supply of very old and unreliable electric equipment will be available for rent at the event, but it is all club gear and you take your chances with it. We will charge you $15 to use it for the night which seems really expensive for what you are getting. And if it fails on the strip you will get carded. So perhaps it is time to invest in some of your own gear for the new season. ------------------ Tournament Rules ------------------- This is a fully sanctioned USFA event.
