You qualified for the Under-19 sectional championships (that's why it's the "sectional qualifier"). That means you get to fence in your sectional (what, North Atlantic?) U-19 championships which are this weekend in Western New York(your section web page is at http://www.prisedefer.com/nasusfa/). At that competition, you can qualify for U-19, Div II, and Div III championships. (if you qualify for U-19, you qualify for Div II, and if you qualify for Div II, you qualify for Div III). If you didn't register and compete in that, you're out of luck. They should have told you this at your sectional qualifier and given you an application for the tournament; you should check into the appeal process with your division and the USFA office.
If you go to the USFA web site (www.usfencing.org) the first item under current news right now is qualifying paths, because you're not alone in being confused.

It sounds like you were at sectionals, right?
If you placed AT sectional qualifyers, then you qualified for Nationals in that event.
As for other events, I don't think U19 qualifies you for Div 2 or 3 but don't quote me.
Check for yourself at www.usfencing.org

Much to my surprise I recently found out qualifying for U16 or U19 automatically qualifies you for div II as well. What I haven't been able to figure out is whether that means you are also qualified for div III. It doesn't mention it anywhere, is it just assumed that div II includes div III?
