[AguynamedDylan]

Hey umm I'm The Crazy Whacker or something like that, i can't remember the name or the pass so i just made a new account. lol.

Anyways I just came on to see What type of blades are required for tournaments... i.e. Maraging, Non-Maraging (i'm prolly asking this in the wrong place)

Anyways, any help would be appreciated

FOR USFA tourns it's doesn't matter what type of blade one use.

Alright cool, Is there anything Specific I'd need for a tournament?? I'm going to try the Junior Olympic Qualifiers... Do i need to be a member of some assosiation (sp?) or something to get like a number and stuff??

[D'Artagnan1673]

Someone told me last night that you had to be rated to qualify, i.e. E, D, C, B or A. I would also guess that you would have to be a member of the USFA.

[AguynamedDylan]

Any ideas on how to join USFA?? Or how to get a ranking??

[Sabresque]

I was unrated for Junior Olympics last year, you don't need a rating (Unless there's been a rules change). You just need to be a member of the USFA and qualify through your division's tournament.

Dylan,

Just show up to a USFA sanctioned tournament and they will have registration forms for you to sign up.

Aight Cool, I don't really think i'll do very well, but my coach wants me to try it... I just have to figure out where its at now. Are there any special requirements for Epee??

[Psi Shadowdark]

u will need to be a USFA member, knickers, jacket, plasteron, and a mask that will pass test, for foil a good lame,
to get your e,d,c, ETC you need to win tourneys or at least do very well at them.

Dude;

Go to http://www.socalfence.org and go to the schedule section. There's a link there that says "going to your first tournament? Read this!" It takes you to a primer I wrote for beginners and should cover most of your questions.
