| New Super Youth Info
From the USFA website, posted today: Quote:
Different components within the USFA have been trying some time now to resolve the scheduling issue between the North Atlantic Sectional Championship and the New York Super Youth tournament. It appears that we have finally been able to devise a system that will allow the fencers to have more options and will simultaneously reduce the burden on the clubs and coaches of those fencers.
Simply put, the revised situation is:
1. The Connecticut RYC scheduled for May 21-22 will be designated as a Super Youth along with the New York Super Youth.
2. Any fencer may fence in either (or both) the Connecticut or the New York Super Youth.
3. No fencer who enters the New York Super Youth may earn any points in the Connecticut Super Youth regardless of whether they earned any points in the New York Super Youth.
4. Any fencer can enter and earn or improve points in the Super Youth in either the West or the Mid West regions.

| Of note, the NYC SYC referred to here is the one that starts tomorrow. It's a conflcit with several other events, including Junior/Cadet Sectional Championships for North Atlantic Section and Senior Sectional Qualifiers for New Jersey Division.

| Am I missing something?!?!?! What am I not getting about this???? Bad precedent! Why was this done, esp at the 11th hour? Why couldn't those who wanted to do both tournaments just go to the Kansas SYC? Somewhere I believe I've read in the past that all reasonable attempts to avoid scheduling qualification tournaments on the same dates as NACs should be made. That being said, if there are conflicts, deciding to attend the NAC is not an appealable reason for the events missed at the qualification. Therefore, the argument could be made that a qualifier supersedes a NAC. If a SYC is considered a 'mini-NAC' in that it awards National points I guess the next time we have a date conflict I'll expect USFA to schedule another NAC for us so that we don't miss out on those point opportunities!!
I guess some are just more equal than others. | |

| We had to make the choice of going to either Divisionals or NY SYC. That's life. It would have been nice to be able to go to both, but we can't, therefore we will go to Kansas City. I think this was a very bad idea. Besides, how many people does this affect anyway. Sectionals are U19 and Div 1A; the Super RYC is Y14. | |

| Well, there goes the whole transparency and follow-the-rules process to decide whether an event is a SYC or not.
Next year, we'll schedule our RYC for some inopportune time of the year and then whine about conflicts until they make it into a SYC.
