http://www.live-results.nwfencing.org/roc/ About the Regional Open Circuit (ROC)

The Regional Open Circuit (ROC) is designed to promote and develop strong regional tournaments for the Open/Division I-A fencer who seeks competitive opportunities beyond the local and division levels but below the NAC Division I level. Other competitive opportunities in the ROC tournaments are provided for Veteran (40 & Older) and Division II (C, D, E or U) fencers. Please check the events calendar for more tournament dates. ROC tournaments are open to current USA Fencing competitive members eligible to fence in Open competitions and to foreign fencers with current FIE licenses. After receiving the results, the National Office will send an online survey to all participants requesting their feedback. ROC Qualification for National Championships

How to Earn Regional Points

In each ROC category (Division I-A, Division II, and Veterans) competitions will award points to the top 40% of the competitive field (rounded up to the next higher integer) to a maximum of 64th place, using the point tables for regional competitions found in Appendix 2.5. Only the best 3 results, in each respective category, count towards the point total. These points may qualify D1A, DV2, and Veteran ROC fencers to the USA Fencing National Championships in D1A, DV2, DV3, and Veteran. For qualification path details, refer to chapter 2. ROCs must have at least 2 competitors and cannot be fenced as mixed gender. Please refer to Chapters 3 of the Athlete Handbook for more details on points. The Regional Open Circuit (ROC) point standings are not used for seeding National level tournaments. Only ROC events award regional ranking points. Schedule

Seeding

The Bout Committee must use the current rating and points information found on the USFA website for seeding purposes. Please verify that your rating and points standing are correct with the USFA, and contact the National Office to resolve any discrepancies prior to the tournament. Seeding will be determined USFA Letter Ranking with year classification. Athletes of the same classification/year will be seeded randomly within their criteria. It is the fencer's responsibility to notify the Bout Committee of any registration discrepancies before the close of check-in for the event. (I.e. wrong club, wrong rating, misspelled name, etc.) As this information comes directly from askFRED, fencers should make sure their FRED profiles are up-to-date! Eligibility Information
