If you fence in the Youth 10 or Youth 12 event at this tournament, you are qualified for the same event at the National level. If there are fewer than 4 entrants in an event, we will combine the men's and women's events. As an additional qualification path to Y14 National Championships - Place first in the Y14 event at a current-season RYC tournament. To enable qualification, we will fence both men's and women's Y14 events regardless of the number entered. This tournament is sanctioned by the USA Fencing Regional tournament rules.

Restaurants and micro-breweries are varied and plentiful. The Hilton Gardens is a brief RTD light rail trip to, and the downtown Courtyard Marriott and Embassy Suites are within easy walking distance of, the Denver Performing Arts Center, the 16th Street Mall, the Tattered Cover Bookstore, the Pepsi Center, Coors Field, the newly opened History Colorado Center, and the Denver Art Museum. In particular, the DAM is very kid friendly. REI’s flagship store, with its four story climbing wall, the Downtown Aquarium, and Elitch Gardens amusement park are about 1.3 mile walks. If you wish to range a bit further, The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is a can’t miss attraction for lovers of all things dinosaur. Next door to the Museum of Nature and Science is the Denver Zoo. The new Elephant Passage exhibit recently opened.
