Montana Cup 2019-2020 #3

USA Fencing has directed that there will be no sanctioned tournaments in the country through April 6 because of the risk from coronavirus being spread from club to club. Practices will still be held dependent on local and regional conditions. Depending on the status of infections in Montana on April 4th, we may hold an unsanctioned practice tournament for BFA club members only. Information will be posted at the club. Hosted by Bozeman Fencing Association Location: Bozeman Fencing Association - 15 Tai Lane. Specific times of events will be adjusted to reflect sign-up numbers and referee availability. Points will be given for Y10/12, Y14, and senior events toward the end of season total. Montana Cup awards will be given at this event for all events held at least 3 times during the season. If coaches have truly novice and smaller 15 year old fencers who are not yet prepared to fence Div III, we may adapt Y14 to include them upon request. All unsanctioned events are training events for fun and practice. Senior and Div III events are USFA sanctioned and USFA competitive membership is required and are self-reffed. The Cup may decide prior to the Sept event to hold Womens rather than Div III. Y14 foil can be added in upon request if there are enough Y14 foil fencers who are not ready to fence senior foil. Youth practice events require a noncompetitive USFA membership. Plastron and knickers required for all. Senior sanctioned foil fencers wearing chest protectors must wear the new padded chest protectors $15/1st event with pre-registration, $20 if no pre-registration. $5 for each additional event in Cup Contact email - michcarey2@gmail.com Montana Cup events do not require pre-registration, but it is really appreciated.
