Please bring USFA card or receipt with you. * USFA rules will be enforced. With regard to safety, each fencer must wear full fencing clothing, including a plastron (under-arm protector), plastic chest protector (women), knickers, and long socks. Masks will be punch-tested for safety at the event. * USFA rules require each fencer to have a second body cord and a second weapon by the strip. NEW PRE-PAYMENT OPTION & NO-SHOWS *In order to ensure fair and high-quality tournaments, RedStar Fencing Club chooses to hire USFA Directors to work at our tournaments. Because of the amount of no-call or no shows, it's difficult to compensate Directors who are confirmed in advance. To help promote the pre-payment option, we have reduced our rate to $20 if you use the pre-payment method. Pre-payment is NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-TRANSFERABLE. If you are not sure if you can make it, just pre-register without pre-pay. You can always go back into your AskFred Account and pre-pay up until the cut-off date. AskFred charges an extra $0.99 fee. *For those who pre-register, please UN-REGISTER yourself or email/call us if you cannot attend our events. Repeat offenders who no-call/no-show will have a "3 strikes" policy per season. After the 3rd infringement, your registration will need pre-approval, and an additional fee of $10 will be collected and DONATED to the American Red Cross upon check-in. e: hello[at]redstarfencing.com "@" replaces [at] p: +1 773 349 3074 Preregistration opens on 12/20/2011.
