RCFC Youth #1

FRED Announces the RCFC Youth #1 RCFC presents our first youth tournament of the season. There will be foil events for all Youth age groups, plus Y14 Epee. SCHEDULE CHANGE: The Y8 foil event has been moved to 10:00 AM, so we can combine it with the Y10 event if there aren't enough kids to run them separately. ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Tournament: RCFC Youth #1 Date(s): 10/05/2013 Location: Rain City Fencing Center Event Schedule: Saturday, October 5th, 2013 9:30 AM - Doors open 10:00 AM - Y8, Y10, Y14 Foil 1:00 PM - Y12 Foil, Y14 Epee All times are close of registration. Entry fee is $10 (plus tax) per event. Except for the Youth-8 event, all competitors must be current 2013-2014 competitive members of USA Fencing (or equivalent). You may join USA Fencing or renew your membership for the new season at the tournament, or online at http://www.usfencing.org/ (please print your membership card and bring it to the tournament). All competitors must have full regulation uniform including underarm protector, fencing pants, and long socks. Rain City Fencing Center has limited quantities of equipment available for purchase or rental. Fencers may rent club electric gear for $10 per tournament (or $25 per month). Bear in mind that club gear is often unreliable for competition. Whether you're using club gear or your own, make sure it's in good working order and your weapons will pass the weight test! Also, all fencers should have two working weapons and two working body cords at the strip with them. Fencers in the Y8 and Y10 foil events must use #2 or shorter blades. 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, but rental of electric masks is VERY limited. Epee fencers note: Because a conductive surface can cause an opponent's weapon to ground out, electric foil masks are NOT permitted in the epee event. Two-weapon fencers will need two masks or a mask with an exchangeable bib. New for this season: Y8 and Y10 direct elimination bouts are 10 touches, 2 periods of 3 minutes each. The first period ends when 3 minutes have elapsed or one fencer scores 5 touches, whichever comes first. Y12 direct elimination bouts are now 15 touches, 3 periods of 3 minutes each -- just like Y14 and senior DE bouts.
