| Tim Glass was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic fencing team. He took some time off from competing and was just coaching. He started back competing this year. He's an awsome fencer. | |

I-A WS: Peach, despite her modest forwarding of la Marsh.
II MS: Tough, because there are so many unfamiliar names, and Div II is typically a surprise-filled category. But again on the Russian-name principle, Krivosheev out of Georgia, a sobering combination despite his youth. ( He'll probably turn out to be a rank novice, of course. )

| Of course you can pick that way. You won't always be right, but especially when you're picking for D2/D3 you're likely to have never heard of the top people so dart throwing isn't a bad option. Russian surnames is probably better than that (and picking the home team, especially if you're not including a spread, clearly is).
At least at the DIA and Junior level the top people have a chance of being known outside of their immediate region (but again, the good people near you are going to be better known to you).

I think Kip Cox ought to do well. So should Graham Wicas and James Katsoff.
Jeff Snider is fencing too, but I don't expect he'll do well, unless he really turns things around. We can hope.
I've heard that this guy Baker is pretty good, too. Top 8 material?? One never knows...

I'm not sure if I should be scared now that two different people here have predicted a top 4 and a top 8 for me in my two events. Thanks for the votes of confidence anyway.
ShadowHuntr: Not a moderator, just a frequent poster. Craig and Gav are the only moderators (AFAIK, unless Fantasy Land has its own set).

He's a big guy and very quick. He didn't initiate many attacks. He let his opponent attack, and he picked him off on the way in.
His point control was very, very good.
He didn't look rusty to me. The only possible flaw that I saw was that he ended up at the very end of his end of the strip a couple of times where he lost a touch but also got a touch. | |

| According to Tim, he was rusty at the Midwest Sectionals. He was so rusty, he won it. Go figure. Plus he is coming to Nationals on a mission. He really wants to get his A rating back. Every tourney he has been to has ended up a B meet. | |
