It is recommended that you do get an USA Fencing competitive license to be fully covered, but also to record your results and rating https://member.usfencing.org/ Tiradores de otros paises pueden participar si muestran su licencia Nacional o con una licencia FIE. Pero no estan cubiertos por el seguro de la Federacion de los Estados Unidos y participaran bajo su propio riesgo. Por esa razon, es muy recomedable que obtengam una Licencia Competitiva de EE.UU. Para que esten cubiertos en caso de accidente y al mismo tiempo les permite registrar sus resultados y conseguir un �rating�. https://member.usfencing.org/ Bout Committee: Chris G and David H.
