We will be using two venues spread out over a period of two weekends in order to accommodate the events, and maintain compliance with local health and safety regulations and occupancy restrictions.

We will be running this tournament "World Cup style" with pool and DE start times posted in advance. Pools and pool start times will be posted online the day before. Fencers should report to their strips 15 minutes prior to the start of pools. DE start times will be posted online following the conclusion of pools.

The regular fee deadline for the tournament will be October 3rd, 2020. Late registration will be open until October 5th, 2020 at triple fees. No registrations will be taken at the door - period. There is a strict limit of 28 fencers per event - first come, first served.
If you are not one of the first 28 to register for the event, we urge you to put your name on the waiting list. This will help us properly plan the ROC we are planning to do in November.
Because this event is split up into the two venues with different registration systems - if you are doing events at both places (on different days!), you will get charged two different registration fees and sanctioning fees. The organizers will refund the extra fees by check for whom this happens.
Refund Policy
NO REFUND will be issued to No Show or Withdraw from events
Fencers who are under the normal age limit for Junior or Cadet, but are eligible to compete by virtue of being on the National Points list - we have to do a manual registration process on this - please call Cutting Edge Fencing @ 817-428-5599.
