| If you are an international fencing in any Canadian circuit you need your country and name as per the FIE rules. | |

Thanks for the help. | If you are not fencing FIE A competitions, you do not need your name or country stenciled on your uniform.
If you are starting competitions in the fall, I am guessing you are a novice/beginner/intermediate. Therefore, the answer is no. Low-level competitions just require you to have properly functioning electrical equipment, a safe mask and uniform.

| NACs are not "FIE A competitions". But you still must have your name on the back or on the rear leg of your uniform.
It costs very little even if you have it done, and less if you get a stencil and a fabric dye pen from a craft or hobby store. Just go ahead and be safe rather than sorry. | |

| Flame me if I'm wrong, but all this assumes you are fencing epee. Otherwise, you would need your name etc. on your lame, not on your jacket. (Unless you have one of those new transparent lames of course  ) | |

| Yeah, I got the lame from the guy who made the Emperor's new clothes! Just kidding, I fence both and its just easier typing jacket rather than jacket and lame all the time. So, consensus is I can't really go wrong getting my name stenciled on? Thanks for the input, by the way. | |

It's okay to stencil your name on your jacket and/or lame and/or pants regardless of whether you are competing at FIE A (I doubt it), a local tournament, or an out-of-town Canadian tournament. Actually, it helps people to remember who you. That can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. | |
