Er, KShan5[PrFC], I'm a bit mystified by your statement. I think registration's already closed. It's part of the whole MA Olympics, so they've already had their finalists parade, and other sports have started. However, I do wish you best of luck if you do get in.

| In addition to my earlier question, what divisions are people in?
I'm in the Boys and Girls Scholastic Epee. I considered doing the open but I've gotta be somehwere on Sunday.

| grphiw,
they allow walk-in registration for fencing (or have every year in the past)... I may or may not go... I haven't decided yet. I have a wedding to go to on saturday evening and might make a weekend of it with the girlfriend...
If I do go I'll be fencing men's open epee.

| I'm pretty sure my dad is fencing in the Masters, where I'll get to coach him (look out, old people!). Possibly also in the Open. Epee, both. | |

| While officially the registration deadline was June 30th and there have been annual threats of actually enforcing the requirement for at least the past 4-5 years, historically BSG allows fencing walk-up registration. In theory t-shirts are limited to people that register by the deadline with walk-up shirts "availability limited". I have yet to see a year when there were not plenty of excess shirts available even though roughly 75% of the field registers day-of.
I'll be fencing open epee and open sabre.
