    Skater:

    I think what Edew is trying to say in his ever-so-polite way, is that the fencing board windows have plenty of room, so there is no need for text-speak or net abbreviations here. In fact, most of us find it highly annoying.

    Now, give us some more information so we can properly respond. How old are you? What is your fencing level? Have you been to an NAC or other national competition before? Is there some reason you feel the need to prepare differently for a JO than other competitions?

    Illuminate us a bit, and we'll share some of our well-spelt wisdom.

    Slo-mo,
    My 14 year-old non-fencer daughter spells and chats with that kind of language. It's hopeless!

    well, besides the obvious comments on grammar and spelling...
    just prepare for the qualifiers like any other event. i forgot to look at your location, but when you are fencing, keep in mind that only a small percentage advance to the JO's, so try your hardest and do not slack off. the night before get some rest, and of course, eat well. i am sure you have heard that before. good luck!
