Holy Grail 2015

CMU Fencing hereby cordially invites you to participate in the Holy Grail 2015 Three-Weapon Team Tournament! For some of the most salient points, to which we wish to call attention: -- Preregistration (via the FRED page or e-mail to "fencing@andrew.cmu.edu") is MANDATORY! Any teams that fail to pre-register before the pre-registration cut-off (12:00AM EDT on March 18, 2015) will not be permitted to participate. Alterations to a registered team (including changing the team name or substitution of a fencer) may be allowed until 12:00am EDT on March 21, 2015. -- A maximum of three teams per club per weapon will be allowed to fence, to limit the size of the tournament. Based on preregistration, this cap may be adjusted or lifted nearer to the date of the competition. All teams must be composed of no fewer than three individual fencers, and no more than four individual fencers. No double-entering will be permitted - no individual fencer may be a member of more than one team, and no team may enter more than one event. CMU Fencing requests that clubs and teams exercise tact and "common sense" in selecting team names - team names that contain overt offensive material (subject to the judgement of CMU Fencing; examples may include but are not limited to: profanities, excessive lewdness, national/ethnic/racial/sexual/etc slurs, defamation directed at individuals and/or organizations, and so on) are subject to change. -- Each event within the tournament will have a pools-to-DEs cut-off at the top 24. If an event has 24 or fewer teams entered, all teams will advance into the DE round. -- Full fencing attire (including knickers and long socks) must be worn by all participating fencers. Use of a mask with a conductive bib in foil is required. Use of a mask with a conductive bib is prohibited in epee, unless the conductive surfaces are completely and thoroughly covered in a resilient insulating material (e.g. heavy tape, such as duct tape). Use of a mask with a transparent visor is prohibited in all events. -- Each participating club is expected to bring bring AT LEAST one (1) fully-functional scoring set (composed of a properly-functioning scoring apparatus, two (2) properly-functioning and sufficiently-long floor cords, and two (2) properly-functioning and sufficiently-far-reaching reels). Each participating club is also asked to provide a competent referee. -- The entry fee is $30 per team, and will be payable (via cash or check) at the check-in/bout committee table. ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Tournament: Holy Grail 2015 Date(s): 03/21/2015 Location: Skibo Gymnasium Main Gym Event | Date | Registration Closes Mixed Team Epee | Sat 3/21 | 1:00 PM Mixed Team Foil | Sat 3/21 | 11:00 AM Mixed Team Saber | Sat 3/21 | 3:00 PM "Who's Coming" Page: http://askfred.net/Events/whoIsComing.php?tournament_id=29228 Preregistration Page: http://askfred.net/Events/Prereg/prereg.php?tournament_id=29228 Preregistration closes at 12:00AM local time (EDT) on March 18, 2015.
