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

To compete in multiple events, please register for each individually. Events may overlap and will not be held up for fencers who have entered multiple events or who have arrived late. Fencers entered in multiple weapons may be offered withdrawal with refund on the day of competition, prior to the start of the following event, should unavoidable overlap of play occur.

All participants are expected to assist with setup and pack down of the venue.

Competitions are fenced using full whites and electric equipment, including conductive foil masks. Weight and gauge will be tested prior to each bout. Fencers must supply their own equipment. QFA is unable to lend equipment to fencers

Check-in will open prior to the event start time, as announced by the DT, approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the event. Fencers are encouraged to check in as soon as it opens. Check-in will close at the published event start time. The DT reserves the right to start the event early if all competitors are checked in.

Fencers must arrive at least 30 minutes before the event start time in order to be dressed and ready to fence at the start time for their event. Events will not be held up for fencers who arrive late.

Events with insufficient registrations may be combined with other events in the same weapon. Please check the schedule after close of registrations to confirm. Changes to the schedule will be emailed to affected registrants, and the option to withdraw with refund will be provided to these fencers.
