MTFC members only épée team tournament -- fun event format with coaching.
INTRODUCTION: Please join us for an in-house (Metro Tacoma Fencing Club members only), unsanctioned, epee team event. All ages and abilities welcome! The focus of this event will be to get to know one another better, to meet fencers at different levels of experience, to cheer each other on, to improve your skills with coaching along the way, and most importantly to have fun.
EVENT SCHEDULE: Sunday 2/22/2026 at 1 PM close of registration at Metro Tacoma Fencing Club (MTFC).
EVENT FORMAT: Fencers must be an active MTFC members to participate. We will plan to do a standard relay team event with 3 fencers per team. If there are only a few teams we will have a big pool without direct elimination. If we have a medium number of teams we may have two pools and direct elimiation for the top two teams only. If there are lots of teams we will go directly to an elimination table with all places fenced. There will be more experienced fencers who sign up as coaches who can call a time out anytime for the 5 touch bout (much like in college fencing). Coach Toby will set up the teams to try to balance them before the event. You do not need to form your own team. But feel free to think of a fun team name. This was originally listed as a foil and epee team event, but given the limited number of foil fencers signed up we will only do epee which is more fun anyway.
COST: Event fee is $20 per fencer for fencers signed up on AskFRED, billed to your MTFC account. Event fee is $30 per fencer billed to your MTFC account if you show up and have not signed up on AskFRED--just sign up now! If you sign up as a coach we will not charge you and would love for you to share your experience, wisdom, expertise, and tips with the younger fencers.
PRIZES: There will be prizes. Probably food related. Probably not medals unless we find some extras. There will also be a coach prize for the coach whose team does the best.
