RYC events are run in accordance with USA Fencing rules and formats, this is a practice national event for our youth fencers and at National events you can not show up and pay at the door. EQUIPMENT: There will be a weapons check as it is required for RYC events. This will give our young fencers the practice needed for National events where they must always have their equipment checked before the start of their event. We will be checking masks, lames, sabre cuffs, body cords and mask leads. NOTE: The new US Fencing rule change for the Y10 and Y12 DE Format will be as follows: 1) Y10 direct elimination bouts are for 10 hits or end when two periods of three minutes, with a one-minute rest between each period, have passed. The first period ends either at the expiration of three minutes or when 5 hits are scored, whichever comes first. 2) Y12 direct elimination bouts are for 15 hits or end when 3 periods of three minutes, with a one-minute rest between each period have passed. All events in the SDFC RYC are also designated San Diego Division Cup events. Points accumulated will go towards the SD Div Cup for each age group.
