| 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.....

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...
