Weight testing and other weapon inspection will be done at the strip. Y10 fencers must use #2 or shorter blades. Per USA Fencing policy this season, all saber fencers must use 800N gloves. Full regulation uniform, including fencing pants, long socks, and underarm protector, must be worn. Names on uniforms are not required. Fencers should bring a minimum of two working weapons and body cords to the strip. Rain City Fencing Center has equipment available for purchase. 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 purchase. Epee fencers note: Because a conductive surface can cause an opponent's weapon to ground out, electric foil (or sabre) masks are NOT permitted in the epee event. Two-weapon fencers will need two masks or a mask with an exchangeable bib. All competitors must be current (2015-2016) competitive members of USA Fencing (or Canadian Fencing Federation).
