| 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.

| 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?  | |

| 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.... | |

| 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. | |

| 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.
