    Nationals

    If you are in the 40-49 year old range, can you say fence Div III & II as well as the Veterens 40-49?

    Thanks!

    Yup. As long as you're not rated above a C for the Div II or above a D for the Div III, you can fence them. This is a wonderful sport. They let us grownups do all KINDs of things. There's no upper age limit on "open" (adult) events.

    Thanks! I was sure that was how it worked but didn't want to give false information to a clubmate who is quite tickled about Nationals being held here in Texas!

    Among my wife, my son and myself, we fenced 11 epee events this year! We had a blast!

    I also refereed for 4 days. My feet still hurt.

    Nationals was great! The USFA did a great job. The venue was good....nice and
    cool. If you werent fencing you needed a jacket.

    My only complaint would have to be the lack of places nearby to eat.

    It was good to see familiar faces from the Nacs and previous Nationals.
    At least half of last years Coaches College was there.

    Im hopeing that my students will do there best to make next years Nationals
    at Austin.
