COVID UPDATE
DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL WE ARE IN AT THE TIME OF THE COMPETITION PLEASE CHECK AND CHECK AGAIN AND DOUBLE CHECK AND READ YOUR EMAILS
WE ARE CURRENTLY AT LEVEL1. WE STILL ARE CONTACT TRACING. EVERYBODY COMING TO THIS EVENT MUST REGISTER. IDEALLY THROUGH THIS WEBSITE. THERE WILL BE LIMITED OPTIONS ON THE DAY. REGISTRATION FOR OFFICIALS, COACHES, SPECTATORS AND VOLUTEERS IS FREE.
ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED HERE WILL BE ONLY USED TO RUN THIS EVENT AND TO COMPLY WITH GOVERMENT RULES.
BE SAFE. ANY SYMPTOMS OF FEELING SICK: STAY HOME.
You are entering a mixed tournament, unless we have enough registrations to seperate the poules by gender.
We will consider running separate gender poules with a minimum of 6 fencers per poule. Anything less is at the discretion of the DT on the day,as is the poule format, which depends on numbers. It will be likely that we will run a poule unique or double poules rounds followed by DE. Again that fully depends on numbers. The earlier you sign up the earlier we can say.
Fenton is an Open with no age groups.
No responsibility is taken by Fencing North if the server slows down because you left it until the last minute.
There are no refunds. If you wish to apply for a discretional refund please contact the DT who will forward it to Fencing North. Refunds can be given in case of injury or crisis. We have been quite lenient in the past and will continue to do so if it is not abused. Remember we have to plan and pay for your event whether you fence or pull out.
Timetable
TBC
Please check on Friday before the event if the timetable has changed. Please let us know if you are late for the event. We can help, if we know.
Every fencer is expected to help with set up and taking it down at the end. We fully understand that that is disruptive for competitors we do accept family members and friends helping instead.

Foot Note
The cut off day is now Thursday's. This is because in case we need to cancel Trusts we have to do so on a Friday a week before the event. We have a one week cancelation notice with Trusts. Making cut off on a Thursday keeps the entry fees low jus in the rare case we would need to cancel an event.
Thanks for yout understanding and thanks for reading this.
