USFA Summer Nationals predictions?

[mfp]

Now that the entries have been published, perhaps it's time to start the prognosticating ...

I'll pick surprise entrant Phil Gerring to take the Gold in Veteran-40 WE

Gerring, Phillip E Northern CA Division I-A ME Veteran-40 WE

Go, Phil !

[edew]

I dunno, Jenny Yie's given Phil a bit of a problem in our local mixed veteran events once. Got like 3 points on him before he figured out what to do.

Anyone check out the team entries? What the heck happened? If those are the only teams that entered, it'll be a weird outcome with Arizona Fencing Center possibly pulling out an upset victory over Rain City Fencing.

I think this year's change was not properly articulated. None of the strong clubs are providing teams, and because it's not an "open team" anymore, few of the so-so clubs wanted to field a team.

Now, instead of 30+ teams in men's epee, we have six. That's $1500 out of USFA's revenue for epee team entries. Compound that with the other ones and USFA could be out by about $7000 for fewer team entries. Even the U-19 team entries are sparse. Maybe they're not done processing the team entries. Maybe they'll let another team join up at the tournament without having to pay triple fees.

I mean, I'm sure CAAFA would like to have someone to compete against in the women's sabre team event.

They aren't done adding the teams in yet (I hope). We (UMASS) registered a ME team that isnt on the list yet.

Ok, I'll make a prediction.

div II mens sabre:
1) Ben White.

If I can go (apparantly I have mono. Grrr )

[edew]

Unless I get some piss-ant referee, I'll predict a top-2 spot for me in Div IA MF.

For Div one WS I predict, going out on a limb for this one that Sada Jacobson will continue her winning streak!

I predict it will be really hot in Austin!

I am too nervous to predict much and one of my favorite WS fencers had surgery on her knee. Get better fast Sabresque!
