'06 - '07 GA Division Schedule

[Frank Pratt]

The Georgia divisional schedule has been set for next season. I had posted a scheule, but was asked to remove it since it was incomplete (see the messages below). A more accurate schedule will be posted on the Division's website. before too long.

Your division isn't too into running foil or sabre events, are they?

Nothing at Nellya?

It appears to be only a schedule of epee events, because the first tournament of the season at AFC has foil as well. The tournament is listed, but only the epee events. Maybe we can expect an update?

[Frank Pratt]

Oops, sorry about that. I had not noticed that there are no foil or sabre events listed. We only fence épée at our club, and this list was compiled by someone in our club who went the Tournament Committee meeting. Looks like he omitted the Foil and Sabre events since most of our fencers are not interested in anything but épée. I'm sure many of the tournament listed will also have foil and/or sabre events, and I'm sure Nellya scheduled at least a few sabre events. I don't know when these events are scheduled, but the division website will have a complete schedule before too long.

Clubs will be able to bid on hosting the qualifiers as they have in past years. Not sure when they will make a decision.
