Do you have points? If so- in what weapon?

Last chance at youth points, perhaps, but then you've got cadet, junior, senior, vet, junior international, senior internation, etc. still available (or eventually available).
Not to mention you could go to the SYC event in KC in May.

-B | Last chance for y-14 points, because in truth, thats all I stand a chance to do well in. Cant go to the KC RYC... sectionals  ... my last year of y-14 should be fun though

| Hey atleast your birthday isnt novemeber 16, why cant they move the cutoff to november 15 just makes so much more sense. I would own at the under 14 to, but it will get annoying when i cant fence cadet when im 17 because of it.

Question: Do the age categories for youth roll over prior to SN? I'd assumed not as the names don't change (U20 becomes U19 and U17 becomes U16 with the early roll-over for example but Y14 remains Y14)? If not you'd still have an opportunity for (admittedly VERY short-lived) points in Sacramento.

-B | The way it works is:
For Cadet and Junior. The new season starts right after the Cadet and Junior World Championships. The first year for cadet begins right after the CD WC's usually by April 1.
The Y events like Y14 end at Summer Nationals. A person who has already started their first year in cadet finishes their last year in Y 14 2-3 months after. The timing makes it seem like you get less than two years in Cadet.
For Cadet and Junior, Summer nationals is the first competition of the season which is why it counts on team standings.
For Y 14 Summer Nationals is the last competition of the season which is why you are OUT when it is done.
If you get points for the first time at Summer Nationals on Y 14 they last until the new points are updated. This is not usually very long. The points are recorded as last year's. So after Summer Nationals 2005, the points in Y 14 will be written down forever as points earned in the 2004-2005 season.
Points earned at Summer Nationals in Cadet and Junior will be for the 2005-2006 season.
Clear as mud yes?

| Right, that was exactly what I thought happened. I was aware of how things were handled (and why) for juniors and cadets, but I've never cared at all about youth points and so wasn't sure. Thanks for more certain information.

| Mmm, yeah, completely forgot about divisional points. I guess I have them in at least 4 divisions that I know of currently.
