USFA Membership required: Fencers must be a USFA or FIE Member. Proof of
membership is required - "Fence for Fun" category is acceptable; however,
fencers may not earn ratings. USFA membership forms will be available at
the tournament. If you do not have proof of membership, you will be required
to complete and pay for a membership. Fencers are reminded they need the
signature of a parent or guardian (not a coach) on the membership form.
Payment for memberships is made directly to the USFA (bring separate checks
for the tournament and membership).
Tournament Organization: All weapons will be fenced electrically. Mask and
body chords will be subject to testing. Cuffs are required for Sabre events.
Original seeding will be based on National Rating (e.g., A02, B00, etc.).
One round of pools will be fenced; 100% up to DE¹s of 15 touch bouts.
Initial seeding, seeding after pools and final placements will be posted in
the venue. Fencers are responsible for verifying the posted lists, and
signing their pool and DE sheets. Changes will not be made after fencing
commences. Junior Events are restricted to fencers with birth years
1985-1991. Open events restricted to fencers born before 1991.

In conjunction with SabreCave 2003 and SWHSCS #1, GTFC Will be hosting an
FOC Referee Clinic, complete with Exam and Practical Observations. Referee
Clinic will be held on Friday evening, starting at 6:30 pm (dinner is
provided) and Saturday morning, starting at 8:00 am. Examinations will be
held Saturday morning, and practical examinations will be ongoing throughout
the day. The cost for the referee clinic will be $30 (with dinner on Friday
and breakfast on Saturday provided). There will be no cost for the exam and
practical observations, however, referees seeking to be rated will not be
paid per-diems (Lunch will be provided, however!). Scholarships are
available, sponsored by the North Texas Division.
The FOC Referee Clinic is a valuable learning opportunity for all people
involved in fencing, weather or not you ever intend to referee. Competitive
Fencers and Parents are particularly welcome. If you have ever thought the
whole ³referee thing² was mysterious and wanted to know why referees make
the decisions they do, this is the class for you!
To register for the FOC clinic or to inquire about scholarships, please
contact David Sierra @ 214-394-9106, or
