South Houston HS Fencing Coach Jerry Dunaway was a founding member of the Clear Lake Fencing Club. He saw the need for entry level tournaments where newer fencers could "kick the tires" and see if they liked it. In his honor we present this tournament.
First Place Trophy for E & Under Mixed Foil, E & Under Mixed Epee and E & Under Mixed Sabre:
Close of Registration Times:
09:00 AM E & Under Senior Mixed Foil
11:00 AM E & Under Senior Mixed Epee
12:00 PM E & Under Mixed Novice Foil
01:00 PM E & Under Senior Mixed Sabre
Fees:
$20.00 Registration. $10.00 per event fenced. $20.00 late fee for walk-ins not pre-registered via FRED.
This is an E & Under tournament.
Additionally there will be a non-USFA Novice competition for those who have been fencing less than one year. Please see separate details for the novice event below:
For the USFA competitions, all USFA rules will apply. Masks, bodycords and lames will be checked at the armory before competition.
NOTE ON NOVICE COMPETITIONS
This is a non-USFA event. It is for beginners to get a taste of tournament competition. To be eligible for the novice a fencer must have been fencing less than one year! For example: A fencer who has fenced and/or competed in epee or sabre for a couple of years but only recently picked up a foil is not a novice. This is for fencers who have very little tournament experience and for their parents.
Competitive USFA membership is not required for the novice event. We do require the $5.00 non-competitive membership for the Novice events. Those memberships may be taken at the door.
The conductive foil bib is not required for novice foil.
Before registration in the novice competition begins, there will be an introductory talk with the fencers and parents to walk them through various aspects of tournament fencing.
The novice event may be broken into separate events based upon age and size, at the discretion of the tournament organizers, at the time of the tournament. The novice event format will be determined by the tournament organizers at the time of the competition. Novice events may be round-robin pools only or pools plus direct elimination.
Waiver:
All competitors must submit a copy of the Gulf Coast Division waiver of liability and consent to treat form. Copies will be available at the venue. You can also download and print your own: app.box.com/s/j8a12ltuhjrckczgj8bk
Fencers under age 18 must have a parent's signature on this form.
USFA/US Fencing Membership:
Current competitive membership of the USFA required (except for Novice events). Membership forms will be available at the venue. If your membership is not pre-validated, you must be prepared to show proof of USFA membership, or at the door, fill out a membership form and pay at that time.
Persons under age 18 MUST have a parent's signature on the USFA form.
Preregistration opens on 08/10/2013.
Preregistration closes on 10/24/2013.
