it's not unusal to double book ROC's, but from the competitive and qualifying standpoint it makes qualifying easier if you pick the right event......one WF out of Long Island waited to try a D1A late in the season and thought the Arizona event would be easy to finish in the top 10% and she didn't finish in the top 3 in a 17 person event. So, if you are strategic you have one option versus being competitive....I'll say this the event is Chicago of all the WF ROC's is probably the most competitive with Vet's, collegiates and ex-colleigiates competing and my high schooler did well.

Oh I know who you are, lol I asked. We've never actually talked, but you've reffed several of my bouts.

How did you know my full first name? I thought I only posted "Kat" on here. I'm surprised. You not only have the name right, but the spelling too. Do I know you?

I didn't know you were ref'ing in Atlanta, and if I saw you, I didn't recognize you. It's been many years since you were the skinny kid at FIA who Frank was always yelling at. We'll have to catch up at one of these NACs so we can talk about fencing in Pittsburgh. You ever back in town? We host two events a year at Allegheny and you're welcome to stop by to compete or referee.

Love the new haircut!!!

Merry Christmas!!!
