Jeff Wolfe Long Island Challenge N.O.C. at Mission

You can follow the progress of this tournament in real time at: http://www.tldsystems.com/mission_fencing/scores On September 22nd, 2008, the newly-installed USFA Board of Directors voted to establish a new National Open Circuit using well-known, locally organized Senior events and modeled after the SYC system. In the future, a well established bid-process will be used for event designation. The goal of the NOC is to expand the reliable strength of large super-regional events below the Div I NAC level. It will serve as a developmental path for athletes and intends to provide level-appropriate competitions for the Div IA fencer, historically underserved by the national tournament structure. Top 4 places in each of the Super-Regional Events will auto-qualify for Div IA Summer Nationals. A season-long points standing will be maintained for the National Open Circuit with awards given to the top place holders in each weapon.
