Array Parallel forum discussion page? What happened to my post about the Arlington NAC and its whereabouts? Also, it appears that some posts in various discussion topics are missing.
Can some people reply again about the Arlington NAC: should I fly into DFW or DAL?
I also posted a topic about this parallel forum discussion page. That disappeared. Maybe Craig deleted it, because it's not fencing related. But it would have been nice to say so. -

Array I'm missing a thread that I started too, re:Canadian fencing. I'm not sure what happened to that one either! Odd, isn't it. I keep getting e-mails that someone has replied to it, but when I click on the link, it's another thread. -

Array I do know that Arilington is South of Dalles and Fort Worth out by I-20 if that any help

Array I had a followup post to the "veterans" thread dis-skippear as well day before yesterday...too tedious and not important enough to retype. I suspect some form of Bit-rot or sun spots is responsible rather than a moderator deletion. -

Array Speaking of Arlington, has anyone heard a whisper about the registration closing times yet? I know they're busy with JOs, but it would be nice to know whether one needs to fly in Thursday or Friday, or out Sunday or Monday, before the
21-day-advance-booking fares turn into the swallow-your-wallet-last-minute fares.... -

Array Paul Soter, our local attorney to sic on the USFA (every division should have one), is sending a request to the BoD requiring the TC to submit check-in close times for all events at a tournament by 60 days prior to the competition.
As for airfare, I know that Southwest does not use any 21-day cut-off. They have cheap fares and less-cheap fares, and when the cheap ones are sold out, they're sold out. The cheap fares are the ones on less convenient times.
They also fly into Dallas Love (DAL). I did a mapquest and Dallas Love is about 20 miles from the Venue in Arlington. DFW is 11 miles. I think DAL may be a better airport in that it's less crowded and easier to get around. The extra 10 miles shuttling to Arlington may cost a few bux more (and maybe not, even), but would certainly make it more convenient. Don't forget the body cavity searches we all have to go through now. Just wait until we get code ORANGE before a flight. -

Array Div 11 sabre, eh? Is that for the really, really novice fencer? -
Armorer
Array Okay I hit the wrong buttons Edew it Div 2 sabre and he is not a novice sabre fencer. He was the Pacific Northwest U 19 sectional champion 2 years in a row. In OFA territory at that.

Array Sectionals? Don't most of the people fencing in sectionals do so because they do not already have points or whatever to fence the events at Summer Nationals?
I imagine most of the people at OFA don't go to sectionals or most of the people in any division for that matter... A friend will bail you out of jail,
a true friend will help you hide the body...: ) -

Array You be surprise at the turn out for our sectional inculdeing a number of people that don't have to fence. Just to win the sectional tilte.

Array Re: Sectionals? Originally posted by Mo Don't most of the people fencing in sectionals do so because they do not already have points or whatever to fence the events at Summer Nationals?
I imagine most of the people at OFA don't go to sectionals or most of the people in any division for that matter... That's not exactly it. You can't qualify for Division I Nationals or for Junior or Cadet championships through the sectional championships, and you can't qualify for the IA by having points.
The sectionals qualify you for Div IA, II, III, and Veterans (the latter three if you have not already qualified for them through divisional qualifiers or other routes). Sectionals are a separate qualifying event for separate events.
So you have a different set of people from the divisions fencing the section championships. It can be quite a large number of people, but it won't include all the elite fencers (though it will include some).
I regularly competed in the sectional championships when I was on the national points list and even sometimes when I was an automatic qualifier for the IA, because it's quite a good event in our section.
Some fencers who have points fence the IA, but usually very few in the top half of the points list do so since they have other events they have to save their attention for. The main benefit of the IA, aside from bragging rights, is that you can get an A for finishing in the top four.
A long way to say that a sectional champion has to be pretty good and could probably not be called a novice. "Arm yourself, Watson, there is an evil hand afoot ahead." -- Dennis Pierce, 2010 Bulwer-Lytton contest, detective fiction category runner-up. -

Array in the parellel universe, can we talk about random things, for example, i just made a great lunch, for fencers here is the receipe: bake chicken, and boil some macaroni, slice dried figs and set aside, after the macaroni cooks, drain, add a little butter, sliced figs, and sliced chicken and sprinkle romana cheese on top, let sit till flavors blend, then dig in.
keep your arm parellel to the floor, when fencing epee. -

Array I'll check for those other threads. I haven't checked into the board for about a week, and nobody else has permission to delete threads.
The usual suspects would be database errors or disk usage quotas.
