Does anyone know where NAC E and NAC F are going to be held in '10?

Looks like the USFA shifted some dates around, which actually works nicely from my perspective as Cherry Blossom will now almost certainly be the weekend of April 17th. Finding a weekend was difficult before.

How far in advance do they typically post the day schedule for the NACs?

A few days after the close of (regular-fee) registration.

Actually, that's when the times are usually posted. Day schedules are usually posted well ahead of time, depending on who's creating them and how widely they're circulated before publishing.

Last year's day schedules for the first 3 or 4 NACs were published in June. More typical is sometime after SN.

This year will probably be an after-SN year.

But the plan this year is also that the regular fee deadline is to be six weeks out, so that times can be published earlier (makes fencers and parents happy) and still be based on actual numbers (makes BC happy--we like times based on reality).

I defy anyone to actually try to navigate to this info from the homepage on the USFA site without explicitly following a link from fnet

From the hompage, select "Competitions" drop down to "National".
From that page, select "2009-2014 Proposed Tournament Schedule".
Done, two steps. Don't get me wrong, I am no big fan of the new layout, but this was easy.

Really? You couldn't figure out you go to competitions national and then hit the link the says 2010-2014 schedule? Seriously?

I mean the website isn't as intuitive as it could be, and it sometimes takes way to many clicks to get somewhere (see results for national tournaments), but it's pretty simple to navigate.

My Fault. I was having a browser problem ( I guess). I did exactly what you suggested, but the 2009-2014 link at the bottom wasn't showing up...

[edew]

You really ought to upgrade beyond IE 4.0.

I assume there is one 'convention center' in Des Moines but you never know - anybody know where NAC A will be held?

(...hoping there isn't a 'Gaylord Des Moines')

As was pointed out in another thread, if the deadline for NAC's is now eight weeks in advance then wouldn't the deadline for NAC A, be August 14? Is this information and the entry forms somewhere on the USFA website?

As I have posted--I can't find the 2009-2010 entry forms on the website.

The deatline is actually August 10th, according to the little wallet cards they were handing out at Nationals.
