This is a USFA sanctioned event. You will need to present your valid 2015-16 USFA membership to register and compete. To expedite the registration process, it is HIGHLY recommended that you obtain it prior to the tournament. We cannot guarantee use of a computer for renewal. You may renew on your smartphone or other personal device prior to presenting at registration. You need a current USFA membership to preregister on AskFred. The bout committee reserves the option of combining the men's and women's veteran events into mixed events if there are fewer than 6 competitors in one of the single-sex events. If an event becomes mixed, men and women will still medal separately. ALSO: * As per USA Fencing's decision this past May, epee wires may once again legally be threaded through the channels in the socket intended for that purpose. The wires may also remain outside the channels, at the fencer's discretion. See http://www.usfencing.org/news_article/show/645476-change-of-application-of-the-rules-regarding-epee-wiring *USFA conductive bib rules for foil will be enforced. Rules concerning the conductive bib on the foil mask can be found in the current USFA rulebook t.471.2 *Transparent masks are NOT permitted in any weapon. *Masks with exchangeable bibs are allowed. If the inspection mark is placed on the bib, be sure not to change out your inspection mark! *Anyone participating in a foil or sabre event will need 2 mask cords. *All gloves will be checked by the armorer for integrity of material. No tears or holes will be permitted (except for those that allow for the body cord). *For safety and insurance purposes, fencers and coaches must wear mask and glove while participating in drills, lessons, warm-up, with weapon in hand. Failure to comply may result in removal from the venue. 2015-16 USFA AGE Classifications: • Youth-14: 2001-2004 • Junior (U-20): 1996-2002 • Senior: 2002 or earlier • Veteran: 1975 or earlier KSG charges an admission fee for spectators (anyone not competing, officiating or volunteering).
