CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DAY OF EACH EVENT:

Fencers must check in each day that they compete, within the indicated hours of check-in, or they will be withdrawn from that event.

IN ORDER TO COMPETE YOU MUST CHECK-IN AT THE VENUE BEFORE THE LISTED DEADLINE WITH THE FOLLOWING IN HAND:

1) the fencer is required to show a USA Fencing membership card (valid for the current competitive season); AND
2) the fencer is required to show a birth-certificate (copy acceptable) or other government-issued identification showing a birth date; AND
3) the fencer is required to provide a fully-completed waiver form that has been signed by a parent or legal guardian.

To help us speed registration, please download the waiver form, print it, read it, sign it, and bring it to the table with you. This is especially critical if the fencer does not have a parent/guardian at check-in. No one will be allowed to fence without a signed waiver form.

Waiver Form TO BE POSTED

USA Fencing memberships and new or replacement USFA cards should be obtained through the USA Fencing website before the tournament.

http://usfencing.org/us-fencing-membership

Athletes arriving without proof of USA Fencing membership must fill out all appropriate forms and pay for membership at registration even if already a member. Refund requests can later be made with USA Fencing as appropriate.

Fencers who fail to register by the published deadline will be removed from the event and refunds will not be made.

Note that per USA Fencing rules, fencers who withdraw after starting a competition for other than verified medical reasons will be excluded from the competition, and national points and/or classifications that might have been earned for that competition will not be awarded. Further disciplinary action can be taken by USA Fencing.

UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

All USA Fencing uniform requirements apply. NAMES ARE NOT REQUIRED ON THE UNIFORM.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND INSPECTIONS

Y10 fencers must fence with weapons NO LONGER than 32 inches (also known as “2″ or “0″ blades).

Weapons will not be inspected or marked in advance, but failure to have the proper number of working weapons and other equipment at the strip is subject to penalty according to relevant USA Fencing rules.

Note that Absolute Fencing will be on site to sell new equipment and repair services, but fencers ultimately are responsible for having all necessary equipment in working order.

EQUIPMENT CHECK WILL BE AVAILABLE ON FRIDAY. TIME AND LOCATION TBA.

Each event’s tentative seeding will be posted at the venue prior to the close of check-in. It will also be posted at http://live.rocfencing.com
