COVID Compliance: Event is capped at 30 total fencers. All fencers must register upon arrival and certify that they and their parent answer negative to the COVID screening questions. Fencers and their parent will have their temperature screened upon arrival. Any fencer or guest who has been exposed to COVID or is feeling ill should stay home. Fencers and their parent must wear a USA fencing approved mask at all times while at the tournament both inside and outside. The only exception is that fencers may lower their mask for a water break while stationary and at least 6 feet from others. Per USA Fencing, face coverings must be two-layer cloth masks or surgical face coverings. Single-layer gaiters, bandannas, masks with vents and inserts that clip into the fencing mask and do not fully contact the athlete's face are not permitted. Fencers and parents who arrive without an approved mask will be offered a surgical mask. There will be no eating inside the tournament area (indoors or outdoors) and masks may be removed for water breaks only when stationary and maintaining 6 feet of distancing. Minor aged fencers may have one parent or adult accompany them to the event. Non-Fencers will be asked to watch from outside through the large picture windows. Dress warmly! The awards ceremony will be brief and held outdoors for safety. ------------------ Tournament Rules ------------------- This is a fully sanctioned USFA event.
