USFA or FIE MEMBERSHIP and a signed WAIVER OF PARTICIPATION are required
All participants must be competitive members of the USFA of FIE. It is incumbent upon the FENCER to show proof of membership. Internet access may not be available at the venue, so do not rely on the tournament organizers to have access to all Division membership lists.
Pre-registered fencers will receive membership status information via askFRED email using most current USFA membership data. This email may serve as proof of membership. Age status will be checked against USFA membership data - bring proof of age if there are discrepancies.
If you have not obtained your USFA membership at least one week prior to the event, it is recommended you register at the event!
If you do not have proof of membership, you will be required to complete and pay for a membership. Payment for memberships is made directly to the USFA (NO CASH!); bring a separate check or credit card number (preferred) for membership.
Fencers under 18 years old are reminded they need the signature of a parent or guardian (not a coach) on BOTH the membership and waiver forms.
Special rules for ONE DAY MEMBERSHIPS:
1)One day USFA memberships may be purchased for the OPEN EVENTS ONLY and only through the USFA's website. There WILL NOT be Internet available at the venue for this.
2) Fencer's purchasing one day memberships must bring proof of purchase to the tournament for EACH day they may be fencing. Without proof of membership, fencers will be required to complete a USFA membership form and pay the full annual dues at the venue before they will be allowed to fence.
Waiver of Liability
The Austin Challenge or South Texas Division Waiver of Liability is required to be filled out and signed. Fencers under 18 must have a parent's or legal guardian's signature on the waiver in order to be able to fence. NOT your coach's! This waiver will be attached as a PDF file to the registration confirmation email from askfred. A copy of the waiver may also be downloaded here: www.southtexasdivision.org/media/forms/sotxwaiverconsent.pdf
