Fee:
Clinic and exam fees are paid directly to Brad.
All attendees pay a $50 Seminar fee on Saturday. The General and
all Weapons tests will be offered at the end of the day on Saturday
and are optional. If you desire to take any or all of the tests, an
additional test fee of $10 will be collected. The test fee will be
refunded if the General and at least one weapon test are passed.
Further, you will be compensated $25 if you pass the general and at
least one weapon test on Saturday (or are already a rated referee)
AND you return and referee on Sunday.
Note: Passing the General test and a Weapon test earns a rating of
10 for the weapon test passed. If you referee on Sunday, you will
be evaluated for a higher rating (typically 9-6) based on your
demonstrated ability and the level of the competition.

attendees who intend to fence MUST register here as well as in the
clinic event.

allowed to enter. The bout committee has sole discretion to allow
late entries, and in all cases an additional late registration
fee will be charged.
- The format is a round of pools, 6 or 7 fencers in each pool when
possible, followed by DEs. Either 100% or 80% will advance to DEs depending
on total size of each event and at the bout committee's determination.
- All events are fenced electric with the latest USFA adopted
timings, and each fencer must have at least two working body cords
and weapons with them at the strip.
- Fencers must have all protective gear to compete. Knickers are
required; sweatpants, jeans, and shorts are not permitted.
- All participants must be current members of the USFA with valid
membership card present at check in. Participants without valid
membership card will be required to fill out a new USFA membership
application.
