USACFC Format

[Wafath]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

In fact it sounds like a fun day. One that should be repeated again the next day. And the next. Then again, that's why I go up to PdF for Memorial Day Weekend.

Well, hey... if you can find a facility that can hold 42 strips, have each school bring 1 strip per 2 squads (rounding up, of course.), and have each squad's entry fee enough to pay for roughly 1/2 of a ref plus their share of facilities and prizes... I say go for it. Figure 1 hour per match, require all bouts to be fenced, and allow for time-outs and subs like an NCAA dual meet... 8 hours the first day, 7 hours the second, and all fencers go home exhaused. (of course I expect sabre to be done the first day around 5:00pm, and women's foil to start double striping squad matches at the same point to catch up.)

Comic bonus: Watching coaches of schools with six squads fielded try to split themselves six ways. Joy!

Yeah, but under pretty much ALL suggested formats, many coaches (maybe even most) will have to split themselves three ways already....

or just two ways.

I have been asked to produce a modified version of LS's format that combines various comments and concerns with his format.

I have a rough draft, I would like to polish it up before I send it out. If anyone would like to contribute (or heckle), please pm/post/email me, and I will email you my current draft.
