The Illinois Fencers Club would like to invite epee fencers from around the Midwest and Great Lakes Sections to our fourth annual Epee Challenge. Last year's tournament had an awesome turnout, men's epee was an A2 event and we had five women for our inaugural women's event. Come on ladies, get out here and fence...support “femme escrime”!!
This tournament will be fenced with electric scoring equipment. USFA weapon and safety rules will be enforced. Complete uniforms, knee-length socks, punch test on masks, and at least two working weapons and body cords will be required. Registration closes at the times listed. USFA Membership is required.
8:00 AM Open Women's Epee
9:30 AM Open Men's Epee
* Team Epee
* Team Epee will begin as soon as Open Men's Epee finishes.
Fees: $20 for individual event IF you pre-register by Friday, May 6th, 2005. Otherwise, the entry fee will be $25 after that date. Women can fence in the men's event for $10 if they fence in the corresponding women's event. If there are less than 6 women in the women's event, they can fence in the men's event for free.
Team Event
The team event fee is $45 per team. Teams are made up of three primary fencers and one alternate (if you have one). The format for the team event is a relay to 45 touches, 9 bouts, with every primary fencer from one team fencing every primary fencer from another. The complete USFA Team Competition rules that we will be using can be found by clicking here.
Seeding for the team event will be based on the combined scores of the team members from the individual competition.
Scores from the Men's or Women's events count the same for the team event.
In the event of a tie in seeding, a coin will be tossed.
Note: Change of Venue. This tournament will be held one mile away from our Lions Memorial Park/Recreation Center. The new location is the Central Community Center at 1000 W. Central Ave., Mt. Prospect, IL 60056. VERY NICE locker rooms and showers available here, as well as FREE parking.
