The USFA Western Washington Division presents
The 23rd Annual Leon Auriol Open
October 2-3, 2004
Seattle, Washington
The Leon Auriol Open is a Western Washington tradition dating back to 1982. Founded by Maitre Leon Auriol himself, this event has consistently been attended by the best fencers in the Pacific Northwest.
With the explosive growth of fencing in the Seattle region over the last few years, we expect this year's Auriol Open to be huge. In addition to our many local fencers, we expect to see fencers from Oregon, Vancouver BC, and Eastern Washington in attendance. We also are hoping to see some new faces from outside of the Pacific Northwest!

All times are close of registration. Arrive early to get your equipment checked! We will be running on a strict schedule so your promptness is appreciated.
Fencers that wish to fence in two events on the same day must report to the strip when called or they may be scratched from the event. We will try to accommodate people as best we can, but we will not delay events if a fencer is still fencing in another event.
