Open events are for all classifications. D & Under events are for fencers classified "D" or under in the weapon they're fencing. All teams may be men, women, or mixed, and may consist of 3 team members plus an optional alternate. If you don't have a team to fence on, show up anyway. We'll set you up with one.

All foil fencers at all competition levels must have masks with conductive bibs. RCFC has electric foil masks, mask cords, and retrofit kits for BG "Olympic" masks available for sale. Epee fencers may not use a foil or saber mask with any conductive surface.
