| USFA Summer Nationals predictions?
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 !  | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| 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.

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

| Predictions
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!
