I want to let you all know that there will also be a Veteran's event in the Ark-La-Miss division (Shreveport, LA) at the Rose Condon Memorial SSCC on Feb 3-4, 2007. We thought it would be something different (usually the additional events at the SSCCs consist of youth or unrated events), as well as supporting our section's Veteran fencers. The Veteran's event will take place after the conclusion of the open events on Saturday, February 3rd. They will be separated into men's and women's if 6 women register by Feb 1st. I think it would be neat if this was included in the SWS Veteran's Cup, but either way, I hope some of you will decide to join us in February! The registration will be open soon (today or tomorrow) on askfred and the tournament website is www.fencetherose.com

The second event of the season is approaching. ... The 2nd Veteran's Melee at Salle Pouj in San Antonio, TX will be held on Jan 13, 2007 - Jan 14, 2007. The tournament will be run according to USFA regulations. Please note that if there are less than 6 women registered for a Women's event, they will then be added to the Men's event becoming a Mixed event. This event is an official South Texas Division tournament, and results will also count points toward the standings of the Southwest Region Veteran Circuit Cup (SVCC). For more information regarding SVCC events, please email Jose E Cavazos at cavazosj@uthscsa.edu . The 2006-7 SVCC standings are in the Point Lists section of AskFred.net. askfred.net/Events/whoIsComing.php?tournament_id=2526I wish Happy Holidays to all fencers in our region.

Well, I may miss out on foil on Saturday at the Veterans Melee (darned real-world jobs!), but I'll be there Sunday for epee!

The rankings for the 2006-7 season of the SW "Region" Veteran's Circuit Cup have been updated with the results from the 2nd Veteran's Melee. The 6 Point lists can be found at: askfred.net/Results/pointsLists.phpThis year, just as the past 2 years, points have been awarded based inversely to the number of entries for each tournament. For the 2007-8 season, we are considering to switch to a format similar to the one used by the SW Section Circuit, which is based on 1000 points per event (not based on # of entries). The rationale for this proposed change is to increase the importance of each event for the rankings. Clearly, tradition trumps out ranking and the Fete de Luna remains our best attended Veteran tournament in the entire region and section. I will report in this forum before the beginning of the 2007-8 season the format that would be utilized. Furthermore, it has been the historical experience that the format that is best attended consists of Mixed Events. Clubs are encouraged to offer separate gender events, but if less than 6 fencers register for either gender event, the events should be combined into a mixed gender veteran event. Lastly, there is a Veteran tournament in the North Texas division calendar for early Spring '07. Last year, that event was cancelled. I will inquire as to whether it will occur or not, and report in this forum.

Oh, Jose, this is... just... so very wrong!
According to your stats, for 2006-2007, I’m 1st in Sabre with 7 points, 2nd in Epee with 23 points, Tied for 10th in Foil with 3 points.
For the 2005-2006 season, I’m Tied for 5th in Sabre with 5 points 9th in Epee with 18 points, 14th in Foil with 8 points
Can it be true........ I’m really... *gasp* a Sabre fencer??? *Looks for the gills and webbed feet*[/i]

I congratule you for your performance in Saber !!! However, you missed the Epee competition on Sunday. Thus, it is unfair for the current season as you only added points in the second tournament in Saber but not Epee. My conclusion is either you are just getting better, or we all are getting worse.

Today, I spoke with Brenda Waddoups, the secretary for the North Texas Division. She told me that her division will be hosting a 3-weapon Veteran's tournament at the end of February. According to the NTX calendar (see: www.northtexasfencing.org/calendar.htm ), they have scheduled "Los Conquistadors (aka "The Jurassic Open") Veteran's Tournament" on 02/24-25/07 hosted by FIT and Renaissance Fencers. However, please note that the SWS calendar has this tournament as only Sunday 2/25. Brenda told me that by Tuesday, the organizing group will have a decision on venue location, whether it is 1 or 2-day event, and whether there will be a banquet or not. Furthermore, they are planning MIXED events (just as at the Fete and Veteran's Melee), but will also have Women's events if 6 or 8 (undecided threshold) fencers register. I plan to include this event as the 3rd event for the point standings of the SWRVCC (SouthWest Region Veteran's Circuit Cup).

Hey I was just wondering why the Veteran's event at the Rose isn't part of the SVCC - the turnout was pretty good for the first year. There's a good chance we will hold them again next year - if there's a format we should aim for to be included I can let the committee know.

Evelyn, The format consists of a tournament with 3-weapon Veteran events endorsed by the USFA division; the events typically are mixed events, but gender-split events are ok. Only one tournament is taken from each division within our SW region if held accordingly to this format. The inclusion of a tournament for the Circuit needs to be announced in advance, to allow all interested participants of the circuit to be aware of it. We have been using this forum and AskFred for that purpose. To include an event, organizers of the tournament have to discuss it with me (email or private message is ok) at least 4 weeks prior to date of tournament. Tournament must be listed in AskFred. Veteran Epee is a start; your turn-out was great. I had registered myself for the tournament but was unable to attend due to work. I do not have a problem of adding them to the current tab for the current season but I would have to check with the rest of the SVCC committee. For the 2007-8 season, I am hoping to have a face-to face meeting of representatives of each of the tournaments for the upcoming season at the Fete de Luna tournament (Clearlake) to make sure that we set the season's schedule ahead of time. Furthermore, a tax of $1 per fencer would be need to be assessed for medals. Thus far, I have been contacted by organizers of 3 tournaments for next year (GC, NTX, and STX). If the Rose (the Crescent or Oz Parsons) are to be included, representatives of the tournaments need to approach me, and attend the meeting at the Fete de Luna. I believe strongly in regional veteran circuits, and I hope the prospect of a well organized SVCC will encourage other clubs to host more Veteran events. As a reminder, the NTX division has a Veteran tournament on Feb. 24 which WILL COUNT for the SVCC standings. askfred.net/Events/whoIsComing.php?tournament_id=3354 Jose E. Cavazos

I believe strongly in regional veteran circuits, and I hope the prospect of a well organized SVCC will encourage other clubs to host more Veteran events. This is a reminder to all CLUBS that want to participate as tournament organizers for the SVCC. I plan to have a club meeting at the Fete de Luna, our first tournament for the circuit. Please contact me if you are planning to attend. It is highly desirable to hold a Veteran Circuit every year with modic but symbolic prizes. A Circuit can increase the enthusiasm in the SW region and result in more (and bigger) Veteran tournaments. To all Veteran Fencers, please consider attending the Fete de Luna. It is a great tournament and the atmosphere is fantastic. The guys from CLFC are holding it at a different venue than recent times. It is at the: Ed White Memorial Youth Center: Seabrook, TX. This is a link from the CLFC regarding this venue: www.clfc.org/venues/ewmyc_maps.htm The 9th Annual Fête de Lune Veterans Tournament August 25th, 2007 Vet Combined Mixed Epee Vet Combined Mixed Foil Vet Combined Mixed Saber Times are not available on the Askfred Here is who has pre-registered: askfred.net/Events/whoIsComing.php?tournament_id=3984 Although there is no prize for the 3-weapon winner and Augie is resting his old joints, we currently have Ray Sexton, Don Cravey and I fencing all three weapons. There will be a prize for the 3 weapon leader at the end of the season for the SVCC. We will see what happens. I invite ONE round of beers to those who participate in all 3 weapons. Is that enticing enough for Kyle?
