| Prise de Fer Memorial Day Round Robin - New News!
After talking with many of the competitors (and potential competitors) and getting approval from the New England division, we are happy to announce that the Epee event is being split into a Men's event, and a Women's event.
The split is occuring due to the overwhelming demand we had for the epee tournament. We reached the 51 person cap, and had a 20+ person waiting list three months before the tournament!
The Women's event will take place on Sunday 5/21, with a 9:00AM start time, and a 51 person cap.
The Men's event will take place on Sunday 5/28, with a 9:00AM start time, and a 51 person cap.
As of right now, the foil and sabre events will still be mixed.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me, or post it in this thread.
To sign up for the tournament, click here: http://askfred.net/Events/whoIsComin...nament_id=1335
Thanks for your time,
Wayne Jenness

| I can't decide if this is better or not. I mean, I have a better chance of doing well if it's split, but it was a lot of fun last year having it mixed. Hmmm. Well either way, I'll be there! | |

Either way, I will be lying dead on the floor by about 7 PM. Maybe 8 if I train hard.
