PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FOIL AND EPEE EVENTS ARE MIXED EVENTS. Because this change was made after some preregistrations were made for men's and women's events, it's not possible to edit the AskFred record to change these to mixed events without losing preregistration data, so although events are still listed as men's/women's, fencers should be aware that all events will be mixed.
Parents should come prepared with ONE of the following in case the fencer's age needs verification for eligibility purposes:
•A government issued photo ID with date of birth included
•A copy of birth certificate
•Passport
BIRTH YEAR ELIGIBILITY(2012-2013 season):
•Youth 8 event 2004-2007

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.
