| Technical Information: | Fencers must wear the required clothing - regulation
fencing jacket and pants, underarm protector (plastron), knee socks and a
fencing glove that covers half the forearm. Women must wear breast
protectors. In épée and foil, a full jacket is required (i.e., a jacket with
a cuissard/groin strap). Any attachment to a weapon's handle must fix the
hand in one position such that the top of the thumb is no more than 2 cm
from the inner surface of the guard. Warm-up pants are not allowed. Fencing
uniforms must not have any rips, tears, holes, etc.
The fencer's last name must be legibly printed, in dark blue capital letters between 8 cm and 10 cm high. Names can be placed on either (1) the back of the uniform or lame between the shoulders; (2) on the front or side of the thigh of the "rear" leg; or (3) on a piece of fabric or lame material that is firmly sewn to the uniform in such a way that it will not detach, or catch the opponent's point during fencing. Fabric attached to the uniform must be the same color as the part of the uniform to which it is attached. Lamé materials must be attached in such a way so as not to alter the conductivity of the metallic vest or jacket. Names printed on tape are not acceptable. All fencers must be current competitive (i.e., Junior, Life, Senior, Veteran) members of the USFA and citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Fencers may join the USFA at Divisionals, if pre-registering please send in USFA membership form with your entry. USFA cards must be presented at check-in. View the Current Division Membership List. |
