An Unsanctioned FUN tournament to help younger and new fencers understand how a tournament works. It’s also great education for the parents and children who may not fully understand strip assignments or how a tournament flows. Everyone gets ice cream and a medal!

The tournament will be run by experienced bout committee and referees. Events are capped at 14 participants each, so please pre-register early to guarantee yourself a space.
All participants will get an ice cream bar and will be awarded a medal.
