i'll see you there pho i'll be in the epee i'll put my new rating to the test.

do the runner ups get anything?

[darius]

You mean the satisfaction of being 2nd-best isn't enough?

I'll be there, with a decent-sized crew from the U of R.

[Aeric]

Hiya Eric.

It's Eric from FEX.

I will be there as well for the foil and epee.

I might have to convince Chris to come too, but we've been skipping practice for weeks.

Does the runner-up get a consolation medal?

[Pho]

well no medals for 2nd place, but you get a nice wooden placard. What do you think darius about the last placard for the last tourney? But epee, is guaranteed to be at least a B1 tourney and Eric, you should never settle for 2nd....

[fencerontheline]

Are the foil and epee prizes BF priur maragings?

[Pho]

Yep, the both the foil and epee are prieur maraging blades with a german tip in a french tang (we can cut them and set them for the winner if they so desire).

[fencerontheline]

cool. Thanks. Now I gotta get there...

[frenzl]

i pre-registered at ask fref , but lopata but that she is a U didn't she get an E at the broken blade tourny? just making sure becuae i was supposed to get a D. the results were sent right?

[darius]

They were sent -- you're a D04 and Kara has an E04.

darius

[Philistine]

How will the sabre be?

I may be an hour or so away that weekend.

Worth the drive?

--Philistine

Sabre is usually a D1 at binghamton, but there is a strong chance it will be a C1. We haven't offered prizes before so that might bring more sabre fencers out. Hope you can make it.

[frenzl]

They were sent -- you're a D04 and Kara has an E04.

darius

alright thanks darius. i was just a little nervous because still haven't gotten my new card.

[fencerontheline]

what about the foil? any cluye what it will be ranked. BTW I'm a C and I could probably get at least one B to come.

[darius]

The more the merrier. I'd be thrilled if Binghamton could put together a B-rated tournament; I'll be down there (C), and there should be some underrated foilists from Rochester coming too.

Darius is MacClaren going to come down? If he does, we would have a B tourney on our hands.....
