2024 Iowa Division Qualifiers

Qualifying tournament for Summer Nationals in Columbus, OH (June 29 – July 8, 2024) for members of the Iowa Division, for the events in Y14 (born 2009-2012), Division 2 (C & under, b. 2010 or earlier), Div 3 (D & Under, b. 2010 or earlier).

Fencers MUST BE PREREGISTERED BY 4/20/2024 to compete in Division Qualifiers - we will not accept entries at the door.

The top 3 or top 25% (whichever is greater) fencers in each event qualify for Summer Nationals in those events.

(Clarification: If you qualify for Div 2 and you are eligible to fence Div 3, you also automatically qualify for that.)

If you've qualified by some other path, you do not need to fence in Division Qualifiers. You can log in to your USA Membership profile to see if you are already qualified.

Athlete entry fee:

$30 for one event, +$10 for each additional event

We accept cash, check, and cards; fees will be paid at check-in.

Venue:

Red Door Fencing

220 E. 3rd St.

Des Moines, IA 50309

Events Scheduled:

TBA - only events with 4 or more fencers at close of registration will be contested. Schedule will be emailed to preregistered fencers on 4/21.

(Askfred makes us put a time in so they're all set to noon until preregistration is closed - then we will announce the actual schedule.)

This is a sanctioned tournament, so USA Fencing membership of at least "Access" level is required in order to compete (or in the case that the event is not contested, to submit you for qualification). In order to fence at Summer Nationals, the fencer must have at least a Competitive level membership, so this may require some fencers to upgrade their membership in order to register for Summer Nationals.
