| Look like it will be a great event. WOW 600 fencers.. How many referees do you have coming? I'm not fencing much these days but I am a rated referee in all three weapons if you are looks for a few more referees. | |

| You can't keep me away from the PdT. The only information that's not on that site is how it got its name 
Everyone go! It'll be a big party, with potato(e)s! | |

| It's a take-off on the name of the Terre des Hommes.
Adam- I know there's the link on the front page. Perhaps a link off of the schedule page as well would be appropriate.

I'll be fencing open mens sabre, and hopefully team MS if I can find team mates..

| Blind Fencing
Hiya,
Just a quick question. The Pomme de Terre used to host a Blind Fencing event. I haven't been able to attend for the last few years but was wondering if it was still a part of the event. So far as I know it was the only tournament that had an event for visually impaired fencers. Not that I didn't love the Open and Unclassified events *grin*
Thanks
Daylight

| It has not in the recent past included such an event. I have heard about such an event being included but have not witnessed it, attending PdT in about alternate years for the past 6 years.
I'll be there. Fencing Open Sabre and trying to figure out what I want to do on the other day, Open Foil, MST, or ref.
-B :)

| I'd like to go, but my finances are not feeling particularly strong right about now, and the entry fees are just a little too high. | |

Hopefully I can do both. So much money.....

| Phoenix,
there are no mixed events at PdT
You have:
Open Men's Sabre
Open Women's Sabre
Unclassified Men's Sabre
Unclassified Women's Sabre
so unless you meant open / unclassified, you'll only have to pay for one event...

| note that that's 600 entries, not fencers : p
Wellesley wouldn't be that bad this year, they finished construction on their parking garage (so there's more parking) and the construction has moved to a different part of campus... | |

The way I understand it they charged insane ammounts for the use of their gym, such that last year the division made very little, if any money from the tournament.

| Last year was my first, but I hope the Brandeis gym is bigger, because there was absolutely no where to put stuff. Well, me and my friends (read: 3 persons total) had a space, but then PdF set down next to us and spread like a bubose on a 14th century pesant
