Designated tournaments?

[T]

Does anyone know what tournaments will be Senior Designated (Group II) events for this season? Especially interested in w.epee.

This year's schedule is on the USFA website under competitions. You click World Cup Schedule (or something close to that), and you can get to all weapons, senior or junior.

but the "Designated" tournament list has not come out yet...this list includes all of the world cup events.

The final list will come out when the Athlete's handbook is published (it was promised to be published by mid-October)

The list that went out to top point holders in Women's Epee included only the competitions in which there was a team competition included as designated events -- the focus of the USFA for Women's Epee is to qualify a team.

For that matter, I would expect that for those men's weapons that are to be qualified by team, that the designated events would be those with team events.

For Women's foil, they have publicized the designated events on the weapon program website; for Women's Sabre, I would assume that ALL events are designated -- USFA rules have that up to 5 events can be designated, and the WS Sabre competition is fierce.
