Div II/III Nationals Information

[RebelFencer]

Does anyone know anyplace I could go and find information such as: entry forms, due date for payments, or any other pertinent things? Thanks.

First off, I'm assuming you've already qualified (through your division or section) for some/all of your events, since going to Nationals without having qualified is kind of a pain, and I don't 100% know how it works.

Okay, assuming that, you'll probably want to enter. Here is the entry form for the individual events, and here is the one for the team events. (You'll need Adobe Acrobat, or something else that can handle .pdf files.) The actual schedule is here.

As for the due date, it's coming right up--May 27th, I think. The USFA being the super-organized and on-the-ball organization that it is, get that puppy in early. The fee is pretty steep, something on the order of $50 just to show up plus $30 per individual event entered. If you're late, though, you can take that number and triple it. Late entry = bad news.

Everything else you'll need to know should be contained in the entry forms themselves. Good luck!

Yeesh, thanks man. Pretty steep prices indeed. Can I preregister and pay at the door possibly? (yes, I've already qualified for Div II/III Foil/Epee')

You're much better off just calling the USFA and asking them these questions. You can get a definitive answer that will tell you exactly what you need to know. You can find their phone number on their website under "Info for Members" and "Contact Us" or just e-mail them at info@usfencing.org

no

you have to fill out this form (also found in the new american fencing magazine) and have it in with payment by may 27th. if you turn it in late (may 28 - june 18), the entry fee is tripled. if you attempt to turn in in after june 18th, its refused.

payment is to be turned in with the entry form.

*sighs* Well I guess I'm gonna only be fencing 2 events. Thanks for all the responses everyone!

By the way, who all is going to Summer Nationals? I think it'd be fun to actually meet some of the people behind the names.

You can count me in, I'm qualified for Div II/III foil and am going to it.

I'll be there. I qualified for Div II/III Men's foil and Div II Men's Epee. But I'm debating whether I will fence all three or just fence the two foil events.

Right now I'm leaning toward just fencing the two foil events.
