You thinks that's unusual? I remember a poster who had, like, 30 posts and the maximum number of rep point thingies.

| Proving you're 13 or older? In about 4 years or less (since you're already in high school) you'll be proving you're 21 regularly. | |

| Actually, in the USFA rulebook, it says the age is officially 24 1/2. BUT there are a lot of shady tournaments out there that say it's 25.
It's a liability thing. People who are +24 1/2 are 95 percent less likely to throw things at refs, fence unmasked people, forget their chest protectors, etc.

| Oh, really? I can get plenty of that, then. Humor is kind of my thing. Irl, at least.

| Oh, and as for your foils, Nein? Yeahhhhh, that might be a problem. See, it's ALSO required that each fencer have 1 7/8 foils to register for any sanctioned competition. And you have to have at least 1 6/8 with you on the strip at all times.
Just warning you in advance. Chopping up weapons well enough that you're also able to put them back together again is hard work.

| I think even neinteen is clever enough to get around the problem by bringing a Whole Spare Foil. | |

| Sure, she's clever, but she said that on average they have 1.5 foils each, 'cause they're sharing.
But I have no doubt she's pretty darn clever.

| So it's either in "November" which is alphabetically nearly "novemeber", or it's in October or December, which is chronologically like November, or it's in February which can be meteorologically like November. | |
