Masks and gloves will be checked during registration. Each fencer must have an extra body cord (mask cords where necessary) and an additional weapon near the strip. All foil fencers with chest protectors must comply with the soft cover rule. Fencers competing in multiple events on the same day should check in for all events at once. P-Card rules will be used in situations of noncom. A cut no stricter than 75% promotion (25% elimination) from pools will be used for all events other than Women's Epee. Women's Epee will not have a cut between pools and DEs. The organizers reserve the right to reduce the number of fencers eliminated (more fencing!) if day-of numbers allow. COVID and Procedures Participants will follow all USFA, University, and local COVID guidelines. Per USA Fencing regulations, all attendees will be required to wear a face covering for admittance to the facility and for the duration of the event. Extra face masks will be available during the event, and fencers may be given a face mask if referees notice persistent malfunctions of the one brought to strip. For individuals under 18, please bring a maximum of one parent to the venue. All fencers, please minimize spectators brought to the event. We would like to make sure there is as much space as possible for fencers and tournament staff to socially distance. ***IF YOU CANNOT COMPLY DO NOT REGISTER*** Fencers will receive 90 sec breaks between DE periods.
