"Bets" on Orlando NAC?

[edew]

The list is now available on the USFencing.org website. Who do people think will do well in the various individual categories?

Since I'm refereeing there, I'll eschew from picking my top fours.

[Mo]

Which events will you be directing Edew?

[edew]

Whatever the FOC gives me. Generally foil and epee. I'm going to try to get them to give me a sabre pool or two.

[Inquartata]

I am willing to predict that I win neither Div II nor Div III MS.

( Perhaps that'll "hex" me into one or both! )

If it follows the trend of the last Div II/III NAC, a complete "unknown" will probably win it. Unknown to ME, anyway!

[Saber-Psycho]

I think that Billy Thanhouser will win cadet!

I don't think too many people will bet against you on this claim. Not that you're a mediocre fencer or not, but because it's quite easy for someone to throw a bout if it means he'll win a bet. :-)

[edew]

Ok, ok. You WIN! I mean, you'll LOSE!

I say the "W"'s will rule in Woman's saber.
Wright, Ward, Wozniak!! (not precisely in that order)
If Sarah Parker is there she can throw off the Rule of "W" but time will tell.

From what I know Mo's cadet women's saber predictions sound good. As per cadet men's epee I'm for

1. Benji Ungar
2. Teddy Sherril
3. Dwight Smith/Tudor Saitoc

I haven't fenced nationally much at all........wait make that never. So, you probably wanna take this with a grain of salt. But I say Div. III WS will have at least 3 of top 8 be new england fencers. Go Christina Morra Again, as a dsiclaimer, I have no idea what I am talking about.

partial results are now posted on the USFA website

You lose. YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK.

Sorry, only one in the final-8 was from New England Area.

Good job! Other than Ungar, who wasn't even there, you called this one almost to the T.

Yet another good call! I watched Wozniak just a bit while I was busy refereeing other bouts. She is a sabre fencer. There is a steep drop from those of her caliber to the others who can only make hack-like cuts and can't use their weapon for any defensive action (i.e., the distance parriers).

I saw her make several set-ups where she baited the person to cut to her tierce, and then nailed them with a wicked parry-tierce riposte to the head. That's sabre.

Billy Stallings from our salle (salle Pouj) won the Div. II men's epee, and he is only a cadet.

[edew]

I refereed him in some foil bouts, I think. He's too busy with the girls. Should be concentrating on fencing.

[JEC]

He does that in the salle too, but he is winning!

[KShan5[PrFC]]

First, I knew I would be off, but it was for fun, I had no idea what I was talking about.

Second, congrats to John Fuhro on winning divII mens sabre.(althoughI don't think he is on the board)

a buddy from my salle finished 18th in cedet and got his b
