  Registrations for each event in this tournament will be capped at 21 in order to maintain compliance with local health and safety regulations and occupancy restrictions - however we would really prefer to let everyone fence so if an event is full and another event set to take place at the same time has fewer we will make every attempt to allow any fencers on the wait list to participate. Entry is on a first-come first-served basis – no exceptions. Direct any questions regarding capping to USA Fencing National Office. We may need to change event times to allow all fencers who wish to register to have the chance to participate

There will be equipment check at designated stations outside. We have some equipment in stock if needed. If you know you will need something contact us in advance and we will confirm whether we have it in stock and have it ready for you
