We are located in the Enfield Stop & Shop Plaza, just minutes off of I-91 Exit 47E, in the corner location of the Plaza right next to the grocery store.

Ample parking available in the back parking lot.

Several food options available within the Plaza and surrounding areas.

All times are END OF REGISTRATION and will be strictly observed. All fencers must be registered and have checked-in at the venue PRIOR to the time posted for their event. No exceptions!

Refer to the USFA 2023-24 Age and Classification Chart for age and classification restrictions for each event: https://www.usafencing.org/age-classification-eligibility

Open and Unrated events will be sanctioned, therefore all USFA rules must be adhered to, including those concerning the use of fencing equipment that conforms to the most recent USFA regulations.

You must have your own fencing equipment, including spare weapons and body/mask cords.

EFC will not be able to lend any equipment to anyone, including club members.

If an Unrated Mixed event has enough participants (min 6 men + 6 women) at the End of Registration Time, the Bout Committee may elect to propose to the participants to split the event into separate Men's and Women's events, and therefore allow for ratings be awarded separately to the winner of each event. If proposed, this change of format must be approved by unanimous vote by all participants prior to the start of competition.

If any event has less than 3 participants, the Bout Committee may cancel the event. In case of cancellation, entry fees will be refunded to those that had already signed up and paid for the event that is being cancelled.
