    Are you going to sectionals this year? Why or why not!

    Yeah- I should come clean- I'm addicted to competing. Took a silver in Divisional quals for Summer PCCs today! Just enough wins to hook me, even when I suck, I still fence(that's most of the time).
    Next week Reno Nacs, then sectional, then Vet Nacs In Santa Cruz, CA.
    Till you try it-you just don't know.....

    If your address is correct, you need to compete in your section. CA is NOT part of the Rocky Mountain Section.

    True, if the question were "Are you going to RMS Sectionals?" What, you think just because you're in a RMS-specific section that people should just assume that your questions are all RMS-specific? If so then clearly your poll is flawed without an option for "No, I'm not eligible for RMS Sectionals" or "No, but I plan to attend sectionals in MY section" or something(s) similar. :)

    For reference, I haven't voted in the poll above.

    I plan to compete at sectionals, but not in RMS. Why? Because I enjoy competing and it should be fun. Qualification is irrelevant. While I expect to finish in the top 25% in both sabre and epee (if I fence epee), I'm an auto-qual in sabre and don't intend to fence epee in Atlanta (my 2 days off as a referee are already spoken for by D1/D1A sabre). Why don't I plan to fence in RMS? Because I'm not a member of the section.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it either. As of the time of this posting, only five people are attending anyway.

    AskFRED isn't looking too promising either.

    I'm in RMS and I can't go for 2 reason: I've got performances to give and I can't make it back in time. Unfortunately, my day job must take precedence...
