Carnegie Mellon Fencing Club
2004 Tenth Annual Holy Grail Championship
Saturday, April 10, 2004
The Holy Grail is one of the largest team events in Pennsylvania this year.
Events are as follows: Mixed Foil, Mixed Epee and Mixed Saber.
Gym Opens: 10:00 AM
Registration Ends: 10:30 AM
Fencing: Promptly thereafter
The tournament will be in the same location as last year: Skibo Gymnasium on Tech
St, CMU Campus (2nd floor). Directions are available on our website
(
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~fencing).
Each event will consist of two rounds: one of round-robin pools for seeding
purposes and one direct elimination round. Each bout will follow the the
USFA relay 45-touch bout format. The top two teams in each event will
win a fencing DVD with World Cup footage (that is, one DVD per team, to
first- and second-place finishers in each weapon). We're doing this
instead of medals this year because we think it's cooler.
The organization accumulating the highest point totals will claim
possession of the Holy Grail trophy for one year, and will be required to
defend its title at the 2005 championships!
Teams are composed of three fencers each (all in the same weapon) with an
optional alternate. Composite teams from more than one organization are
allowed in those cases in which a organization cannot field a complete team
on its own. Double entering is prohibited in all circumstances.
Entry fees will be $25 per team of 3 (or 4) fencers, payable at the
door. Pre-registration is optional, but highly appreciated: e-mail
fencing@nospam.andrew.cmu.edu to let us know how many teams in
each weapon your organization will be bringing (remove the
"nospam" from the address before mailing).
We ask that each participating club bring a working set of scoring
equipment (machine, reels, floor cords, etc.), if available. Please
let us know if you can do this, so we know how many strip setups to
borrow/rent.
If you need directions to the event or have other questions, please contact
us either by phone or e-mail. More information about the tournament is
available on our club's web page (address below).
