RCFC Regional Youth Circuit

FRED Announces the RCFC Regional Youth Circuit Join us for another Pacific Northwest Regional Youth Circuit at Rain City Fencing Center! Y10 and Y12 fencers who wish to fence at Summer Nationals must fence at least one RYC. If you plan to fence at this RYC, please pre-register on FRED and pay your entry fee by Wednesday, October 31st. Late registrants will pay double fees! SABER FENCERS PLEASE READ: We will run any event that has at least two fencers in it. For saber fencers ONLY, if you want to fence but aren't sure if your event will happen, you may register on FRED, skip the payment portion, and pay at the door. You must still be on the list on FRED by Wednesday to avoid late fees, so we can plan for referees. If you have prepaid your entry fee and your event doesn't happen, your entry fee (not counting FRED's fee) will be refunded. We will notify you of any event cancellation by email. If you are interested in refereeing or helping with equipment checks, please let us know. ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Tournament: RCFC Regional Youth Circuit Date(s): 11/03/2012 - 11/04/2012 Location: Rain City Fencing Center 1776 136th Place NE Bellevue, WA 98005 (425) 747-6300 info@raincityfencing.com Event Schedule: Saturday, November 3rd 9:00 AM - Doors open 10:00 AM - Y10 Epee, Y14 Foil 11:00 AM - Y12 Epee 1:00 PM - Y10 Foil 2:00 PM - Y14 Epee Sunday, November 4th 9:00 AM - Doors open 10:00 AM - Y12 Sabre 11:00 AM - Y12 Foil 12:00 PM - Y10 Sabre 1:00 PM - Y14 Sabre All times listed are close of registration.
