Events

March 16, 2024

  • Noon Y10 Mixed Foil
  • 3:30 pm Y12 Mixed Foil


Format

  • All events will fence to all places. This ensures a full day of fencing for developing athletes.
  • There will be one round of pools, with a top percentage of athletes going on to fence DE's to all places. The bottom percentage of athletes after the first round of pools will fence another round of pools for separate prizes.
  • This format is flexible based on numbers. We will always choose the option that allows athletes to fence more.


Registration and Fees

  • Event fee is $30 per event.
  • askFred registration will close Wednesday at midnight prior to the event.
  • Times listed are close of check-in. Fencers should plan on arriving at the venue 45 minuntes prior to the start of the event to allow time to check-in and warm-up.
  • Please note: As this is a capped event, no refunds can be given once the event registration has closed. Registration on FRED reserves your place. If the athlete cannot continue, please see the bout committee.
  • These events are much more tiring for the athletes, so please be mindful when registering athletes for two events in the same day.


Eligibility


Required Equipment

  • Full regulation equipment is required, including: fencing pants, plastrons, and long socks.


Parent, Coach, and Spectator Agreement

  • Marx Fencing Academy values creating a healthy sport environment for our fencers and recognizes building and maintaining a culture of positive sportsmanship requires cooperation among parents, coaches, and spectators as well as visiting families of opponents and their coaches. In order for fencers to grow as athletes, boundaries and guidelines must be set regarding the expectations of how parents, coaches and spectators will act.


Marx Fencing Academy Conduct Standards

  • Our competition will strictly adhere to USA Fencing Codes of Conduct, as well as SafeSport Guidelines including MAAP resources. In addition, our tournament has a specific set of guidelines outlined below. Every individual within our facility is expected to be familiar with, and adhere to these behavior expectations:
  • Show encouragement to all fencers.
  • Keep comments positive.
  • Respect personal and professional boundaries of fencers, referees and coaches by providing space and keeping safe distances away from the fencing floor.
  • Allow coaches and team leaders to coach, support and give advice to their fencers.
  • Volunteer if you want to be more involved: bout committee, food runs, photography or becoming an armorer are just a few ways our community can be supported.
  • Leave officiating to the officials.
  • Avoid or ignore drama and unnecessary controversy that is unproductive.
  • Help make our events a positive experience for us all.
  • Report disruptions of these agreements to any tournament staff member.
