No classes Sat April 2nd as we will be hosting the Boardwalk Open!

• Kaelyn: DV2WF DV3WF
• Jack: VETME
• Jonathan:VETMF
• Robin: VETMF DV3ME VETME DV3MS VETMS  

DV2 is the most impressive qualifier (Well done Kaelyn!) then DV3 and then VET. The rest of the code refers to gender then event. (i.e. VETME= Veteran Mens Epee).

Good luck to Jack, Adam, Johnathan Sweet, and Kaelyn Leake as we attend the forthcoming Divisional Championships. This is a qualifying event for our USFA National Championships  held later this year in Reno, NV.

I’ve composed a quick draft of a Basic Tournament Primer to provide a bit of info on how to prepare and what to expect at a fencing tourney. It’s written as if you’re going to a tourney outside class.

You can find it under the Info for Students menu or you can click here.
