Due to the evolving situation with COVID restrictions, further details of the event will be supplied closer to the date when COVID restrictions for that time are known. The format of this event may be subject to changes at short notice.

The second round of the QFA adult Open Fencing circuit will be held at Yeronga on Saturday 23 April. All fencers must be full Junior or Senior members of QFA in order to enter the event. Fencers must be a minimum age of 13 on 1 January 2022 and have the permission of the State Head Coach to fence in this competition.

All fencers intending to compete in this competition MUST register through the event link. No walkins will be accepted on the day.

All Veteran Fencers (Ages 40+ in 2022) may also receive QFA Veteran Ranking Points from the competition - the Veteran Results will be extracted from the Open Competition rather than being a separate event.
