RYCs are a qualification path to Summer Nationals, but all youth fencers should consider attending at least one per season whether they intend to compete at Nationals or not. Why? Because it will acclimate them to how larger events such as SYCs, NACs, and Nationals feel and are run. They'll get to experience fencing against peers from other parts of the country, a unique opportunity!
Equipment from Absolute Fencing Gear will be for sale. Concession stand will be open during tournament.

Information below provided by USA Fencing:
RYC tournaments are held throughout the season, similar to the Super Youth Circuit tournaments. There are no national points awarded at Regional Youth competitions. These competitions are one of the possible qualification paths for Youth 10 and Youth 12 events at both the March NAC and the Y10, Y12 and Y14 USA Fencing National Championships.
A Regional Ranking Point System (RRPS) is in place to recognize participation and accomplishment of developing athletes at the regional level and will serve as a qualification path to the Summer National Championships. Rankings will be managed by the National Office and available for viewing on the USA Fencing Website under Rankings, Current Rankings, Regional. These rankings are regional only and ARE NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE NATIONAL ROLLING POINT STANDINGS. All athletes who have fenced at an RYC will earn points based on placement. Larger fields will award more points for placement. At the end of the season, ranking winners of each age group and gender in each of the 6 youth regions will be recognized by the YDC and US Fencing. For more details on this initiative, refer to the Regional Youth Recognition Initiative document here: http://assets.ngin.com/attachments/document/0034/6318/Regional_Youth_Recognition_Initiative__1_.pdf
NAC/Nationals Qualification through the RYC points list:
The RYC tournament serves as a qualifying path for Y10 and Y12 fencers to the Youth NAC and for Y10, Y12 and Y14 fencers to the Summer National Championships.
Youth NAC: Y10 and Y12 fencers must participate in at least one RYC or SYC tournament prior to the regular registration deadline for the March/April Youth NAC in order to be considered eligible to compete. RYCs that take place before the Youth NAC but after the regular registration deadline will NOT be considered for meeting eligibility requirement for the Youth NAC. Y14 registration for this NAC is open and has no pre-tournament requirements.

Youth 10 Championships: Be on their region's Y10 Regional Youth point standings by the regular fee entry deadline for these Championships
Youth 12 Championships - Be in the top 65% of their region's Y12 Regional Youth point standings by the regular fee entry deadline for these Championships
