TOURNAMENT CHECK-IN PROCEDURES
This is a National Qualifier for Youth 10, 12 and 14 events. Fencers must show proof they are COMPETITIVE members of the USFA. Fencers must check-in with their CURRENT membership card or a letter of good standing. Athletes without proof of membership must fill out all appropriate forms to pay for membership. Payment will be returned if membership cannot be verified. Foreign fencers must be current members of their nation's fencing federation or possess an FIE license.
Full regulation uniform according to USA Fencing rules is required, including plastron, knickers, and knee-length socks. No jeans or sweatpants allowed. Names are NOT required on fencer uniforms.
Masks with electric bibs are required for all foil events. All saber fencers must wear 800N gloves.
For epee, a conductive surface can ground out the opponent's weapon. Epee fencers may NOT wear electric foil masks. Two-weapon fencers must have two masks, or a mask with an exchangeable bib.
For Youth-10 events, a 30 or 32 blade is required. For Youth-12 and Youth-14 events, a standard 30-35 blade is permitted.
AGE ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility is based on birth year, regardless of the specific day/month:
Youth-10: Born in 2005 through 2008
Youth-12: Born in 2003 through 2006 (or on the Y10 National Points List)
Youth 14: Born in 2001 through 2004 (or on the Y12 National Points List)
All fencers must bring a form of government-issued ID or photocopy of a birth certificate for age verification.
At this time, askfred will not let you register and pay for an event for which you are not age eligible. If you are eligible to fence in an event by virtue of being on the NRPS in a lower age category, please register for an additional event in a different category that you ARE age eligible to participate in, and then email the organizers with the name of the athlete, and the events that need to be switched around. Please verify your eligibility via NRPS BEFORE doing this! No refunds will be given for ineligible fencers who mistakenly enter. Please help us to process all of the registrations efficiently by paying for the different event before emailing the organizers.
EVENT SEEDING
Fencer classifications, club and division affiliations, and national point rankings will be validated against the USA Fencing membership database as of January 28, 2016. It is the fencer's responsibility to ensure that USA Fencing has properly recorded any necessary changes or corrections prior to that date. No classification or affiliation changes will be made at the event.
In all events, all ranked fencers (those possessing national points) will be seeded ahead of unranked fencers, regardless of classification. All unranked fencers will be seeded by classification letter and year.
EQUIPMENT CHECK
Please arrive early to allow time for equipment checks. We will be checking masks, lames, body cords, saber gloves, and foil/saber mask cords.
Awards will be given to the top eight finishers in each event
AIRPORT
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is closest airport.
