If the data is incorrect, then the club owner(s) need to send an update to the USFA.

| we're a registered usfa club and aren't on the map  registered at the start of the season.
there's a club listed that i've attempted to find but have never actually located (in my home town), and stopped after i heard they broke up years ago.
this is why i suspect the data. | |

Are you interested in clubs outside of the US?

Yes. US (USFA clubs) was the first step. Other countries and also college/NCAA programs would fit well onto the map as well.

Craig | Does this mean then you'll be willing to add the ones that got dropped with the actual location?

| My club in Tucson is missing. I don't think it is listed on the USFA site though.

| I really like it. I think this is a great tool to find a fencing club in your area.
However, I have one negative comment to make: I think that the window is too small to really be easy to use. I'd like it if the map covered a larger area of the screen so it is easier to navigate.

| I was thinking along the lines of assembling a list of clubs either no longer in existance or forgotten/misplaced and forwarding it to the USFA. | |

I would contact Dana Brown at the nat'l office. Note: They won't list clubs that aren't paying their USFA dues.
