BCAF SIGNATURE EPEE EVENT

On August 2nd 1998, the fencing community lost a great friend. During a summer competition in New Hope at the Bucks County Academy of Fencing, Bob Flynn suddenly passed away in the middle of an epee bout. His dedication to and love of fencing was an inspiration to three generations of fencers. This tournament is dedicated to his memory & contributions to the sport.

***Exact change is always appreciated***

NO LATE REGISTRATIONS OR WALK-INS, PLEASE.

Use the link in your confirmation e-mail or write to the organizers to delete your pre-registration if you do not plan to attend this event.

Event organizers NEED to have a fairly accurate head-count in order to hire the appropriate number of referees. If we over-hire, the club loses a lot of money. If we under-hire, the fencers will have long waits and a bad experience. We don't want either of these to happen.

You may compete in two events in one day IF the check-in times are staggered.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT will be at the discretion of the meet manager and announced prior to the start of the event. If separate men's and women's events are scheduled, they may be combined if there are fewer than six fencers in either event. Events may be combined by unanimous vote if there are 6 - 14 fencers in either event.

BCAF Waiting-list policy:

Registration may be limited depending on the number of available referees. If registration is full, send the organizer an email (debbie@bcaf.com) with your name, club, and member number. You will be put on the waiting list and notified by a confirmation e-mail from askFRED if space opens up. If you do not yet have an account with askFRED, please create one, so that the organizer can add you manually. Maximum numbers may be adjusted to accommodate as many fencers as possible without double-flighting.

All USA Fencing rules, including those pertaining to attire and equipment will be enforced. There are NO exceptions.

Pizza will be brought in for lunch at $3/slice. Small bills are appreciated! Please bring your own water bottle that can be refilled at our cooler.

FYI, we have an armory bench at which you may fix your own equipment.  We do not have equipment, parts, or clothing to lend or sell.  You are responsible for your own kit.
