Venue Information
Modern Duelists is located in the Triumph Industrial Park at 505 Blue Ball Road, Building 205, Elkton, MD 21921, just a few minutes off of I-95. On site parking is available both in front of the building, directly to the right of the building, and in the school parking lot across the street.
Our 3600 sq.ft. fencing room has five full-size strips (non-grounded), plenty of room for spectators and fencing bags, and a slip-resistant sport court tile floor. A stocked armory will be available for fencers to make repairs to their weapons as needed. Events will run on a maximum of four strips to provide space for referees and a safe run-by area. We have a limited number of chairs, so we recommend fencers bring their own.
Medals & Awards
Medals and prizes (chocolate!) will be given to the top four fencers.
