Details:
- This tournament is run by the Virginia Division.

allowed to enter. The bout committee has sole discretion to allow
late entries, and in all cases an additional $5 late registration
fee will be charged.
- The format is a round of pools, 6 or 7 fencers in each pool,
followed by DEs. 100% will advance to DEs.

timings, and each fencer must have at least two working body cords
and weapons with them at the strip.
