READ MORE INFO! We expect to run few if any actual qualifiers. Sign up ONLY if seriously interested in traveling to JOs. This is not a Champlain Cup tournament.

Do not sign up for these events unless you have a serious interest in going to Charlotte NC in February for the Junior Olympics/Jr National Championship.


To compete in JOs, you must be a US citizen or permanent resident, a competitive member of USA Fencing (Access membership is not enough for national events), and affiliated with the Green Mt Division. We strongly recommend not signing up for this unless you have at least an E rating, and some experience competing outside of Vermont. With travel and registration fees, a trip to JOs is quite expensive, and only 80% of the field moves up from pools to DEs. Please consider whether you have the skills and experience to make competing in an elite-level national championship a worthwhile experience.

You will be responsible for all of your own travel (Viveka will not be going or planning travel). Registration closes Nov 2, at which point any event with fewer than 4 will be cancelled, and any one who signed up qualifies automatically. If there are any events with 4+ fencers signed up, they will be scheduled to take place during the Stick Season tournament on Nov 16, times tba.


There are events for two age groups:

Cadet: teens born 2008-2011. These events are only for younger teens

Junior: teens born 2005-2011. These events are open to both younger and older teens


No saber events are listed because we believe we do not have any junior or cadet saber fencers in the GMD. If this is incorrect and you would like saber to be offered, please contact the organizer.
