Waiver of Liability The North Texas Division Waiver of Liability is required to be filled out and signed (by parent or guardian, not a coach). It can be downloaded at: http://www.northtexasfencing.org/pdf/NTX%20Div%20Competitor%20Waiver%20and%20Consent%20for%20Medical%20Treatment.pdf FENCE OFF FOR THIRD: If there are more than three fencers, but fewer than 13, third place must be fenced. Where there are 13 or more fencers in the final results, third place does not have to be fenced. We will not fence an event if 3 or fewer fencers are signed up as all three will qualify. Fencers will be listed as DNF (did not fence). Per USFA guidelines, to qualify you must still pay registration and event fees and be present at the tournament. FORMAT: Event format is one round of qualifying pools and 100% to direct eliminations. Initial seeding will be by classification and year, then randomly. EQUIPMENT: All equipment rules will be enforced. Please be sure your epees are wired correctly. Do not expect there to be time for the armorer to correct this at the tournament. Fencers must have all required equipment and proper fencing attire. USFA Membership Fencers must be a USFA or FIE Member. Proof of membership is required. Pre-registered fencers will receive membership status information via askFRED email using most current USFA membership data. Fencers/Parents, please ensure YOUR email and not your coach's email is in the Askfred database. Age status will be checked against USFA membership data - bring proof of age if there are discrepancies. While fencers are encouraged to get memberships directly through the USFA prior to the competition, completed USFA membership forms will be accepted at the door. If you do not have proof of membership, you will be required to complete and pay for a membership. Payment for memberships is made directly to the USFA (NO CASH!); bring separate check or credit card number (preferred) for membership. Fencers under 18 years old are reminded they need the signature of a parent or guardian (not a coach) on BOTH the membership and waiver forms. QUALIFYING PATHS:
